Manufacturing Programs
Engineering
Engineering professionals employ mathematical and scientific principles to develop effective solutions to real-world, technical problems. Engineers design, develop and build machinery and complex systems used in the production of a large variety of consumer goods. Engineers are also instrumental in the development of buildings, interstate highways, and transportation systems. They are also responsible developing systems and machinery for extracting and processing many raw materials used by societies worldwide. They develop alternative power sources for mankind and are involved in finding new ways to take advantage of and apply the latest technological advancements.

Operations and Maintenance
People with careers in Maintenance, Installation and Repair perform preventive maintenance procedures on machines, tools and equipment. They also troubleshoot and repair electrical, electronic and mechanical systems. This will include mechanical repair as well as using computer-based inventory control systems. recording repair activities on These maintenance opportunities include the welding field. Because welding is widely used in construction, manufacturing, and many other industries, employers have a constant need for skilled welders. Welding is an important part of our nation?s growth and stability in the manufacturing area.

Precision Productions
Employees in Manufacturing Production Process Development are responsible for product design and design of the manufacturing process. They work with customers to ensure the manufacturing process produces a product that meets or exceeds customer expectations. They also monitor the manufacturing process and the materials used to manufacture the product. Persons employed in the precision machining field operate machine tools, which shape and form materials to precise dimensions. Literally everything manufactured starts in precision machining, since every manufacturing process uses machining techniques to create its production lines

Production Design
Students of drafting and design technology learn to use technical skills to create drawings, plans, and computer models that will be used in constructing a building or manufacturing a product. Behind every product, building, or process are drawings and models created by someone using the techniques and principles taught in drafting courses. If you study drafting, you'll learn the math and drawing techniques you'll need to represent three-dimensional buildings and objects. You'll also learn how to use computers. Increasingly sophisticated technology allows drafters to create more realistic images that almost seem like three-dimensional models, making it easy to imagine the finished structure or object.
