Building upon the skills gained in QIT I, students in this certificate will gain advanced knowledge of quality and inspection principles. Students will begin to learn project management and leadership skills as they are prepared to move into supervisory positions. Students will learn Statistical Process Control using industry relevant software and will deepen their knowledge of quality principles by studying ISO 9000

If you’re interested in educational and/or career goals and objectives that are not met specifically by one of the school’s traditional majors, the interdisciplinary engineering studies program may be an option for you.This type of major is considered an individualized education plan and may involve educational experiences in more than one school or college of the University. Contracts that involve advanced or specialized courses from more than one college are considered cross-college contract programs and must have the explicit approval of both schools or colleges. You may have the opportunity to take courses within business and communications, for example. You will have an opportunity to follow the common first year and second year as other engineering programs do.

Launch your career in the Maritime Industry with Marine Trade Training (MTT) - Welding

This certificate focuses on critical problem-solving skills, theory and components to provide students with a proficient understanding for controlling the flow of electrical currents for the purpose of information processing and system control. The certificate integrates components, devices and design, complexities, and differing operations. Students will receive the expert knowledge and skills necessary to pursue a career in the industry.

The Certificate of Completion in Welding prepares individuals for careers as Commercial/Industrial AWS Certified Welders. This program provides a solid foundation in basic SMAW, GMAW, GTAW, FCAW, and Oxy-Fuel welding principles. Students demonstrate proficiency in single and multi-pass welding in all positions. Emphasized skills include blueprint reading, job estimation, fabrication procedures, metallurgy, and welding inspection. The capstone course for the Certificate of Completion is WLDG 2453, Advanced Pipe Welding.

Job Corps’ Painting, Pre-Apprentice training program teaches students the skills like how to apply paint, stain and coatings to walls and ceilings, buildings, bridges or other items such as cars, jewelry and ceramics, use machinery to apply the paints or use scaffolding and raise ladders, fill holes and cracks with plaster and putty, and utilize simple math to calculate dimensions. This program specifically prepares students for a Registered Apprenticeship after graduation. Students who complete the Painting, Pre-Apprentice training program can earn industry-recognized credentials from organizations such as the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) and certifications in construction safety from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

The term “Advanced Manufacturing Technology” is used to describe flexible manufacturing systems that use innovative technology to improve the design and manufacture of products and processes. The Advanced Manufacturing Technology Program will teach you how these systems – using robotic and transport-based automation including modular work cells: assembly stations, storage locations, machining centers, welding centers and painting stations – play out in the product, from design to manufacture to delivery to the customer. Each student will acquire an overview of how a complete system is tied together to produce high quality product at a low cost.Areas of Degree Emphasis:*EngineeringMechatronicsRobotics Pathway*If a degree emphasis is selected, Advanced Manufacturing Technology A.S. degree requirements will be met using specific courses that also provide training in that sub-specialty.

Students must see the Welding instructor before starting this certificate. Prior welding experience or classes are required before starting certificate courses.

An Occupational Skills Award (OSA) is the most basic sequence of courses that will prepare students for employment. Students are not able to declare an OSA as a major, or pursue one as an end goal. However, almost all OSAs are built into other certificates and/or majors, and they will be automatically awarded to students as they complete coursework in those certificates and/or majors.

The Electrical Systems Technology curriculum is designed to provide training for persons interested in the installation and maintenance of electrical systems found in residential, commercial, and industrial facilities.Coursework, most of which is hands-on, will include such topics as AC/DC theory, basic wiring practices, programmable logic controllers, industrial motor controls, applications of the National Electric Code, and other subjects as local needs require.Upon completion, students should qualify for a variety of jobs in the electrical field as an on-the-job trainee or apprentice assisting in the layout, installation, and maintenance of electrical systems.

The welding fabrication program prepares students for employment under classifications such as welders and/or industrial fabrications. The program includes joining materials, using weldments, special techniques, equipment and other recognized fastening methods. Students acquire skills in the broad categories of welding and fabrication with added emphasis upon support technical subjects.

The Climate Control Technology program is designed to prepare students for a career in the fields of air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration.
