The Engineering Graphics and Design Technology program provides the technical training for students to interpret and produce engineering and architectural graphics and data. Visualization skills are developed to design and evaluate technical content. With the use of Computer—Aided-Design 3D Solid modeling software the student will gain the skills to design and convert complex virtual CAD models into physical products. The program prepares the student for a career in engineering, manufacturing, architecture, and construction where intelligent graphics, 3D Printing, Rapid Prototyping, Additive Manufacturing Technologies, and Direct Digital Manufacturing are required throughout the design process.This is a career program designed for students to go directly into the labor market upon completion. Although some of the courses in this program will transfer to four-year institutions, this program is not designed to be a transfer program of study; therefore, it is not subject to the terms and conditions of Alabama Transfers state transfer and articulation reporting system.

These technicians are involved in all phases of commercial and industrial repair and installation. Students will receive training in industrial electronics, solid state and digital fundamentals, programmable logic control and communications.Students are also introduced to the theories and principles of the operation of electrical equipment, machines; and the installation and maintenance of motors, transformers, industrial controls, programmable logic controllers, and variable speed drives. Students are involved in in-depth study of the National Electrical Code and preparation for credentialing testing. Students are required to participate in third party credentialing such as CET and third party assessments such as NOCTI prior to completion of this curriculum. Instrumentation and Process Control Option:The Instrumentation and Process Control option prepares individuals to apply electronics and technical skills in the fields of industrial control systems, automated systems, process controls, embedded microcontrollers, and data acquisition systems. This option prepares individuals with knowledge and skills in the areas of AC/DC electronics, digital and analog circuits, use of electronic test equipment, use of computers for analysis and problem solving, reading electrical schematics and system diagrams, process and instrument diagrams, scientific methods, and problem solving skills.Robotics and Automation Option:The Robotics and Automation option prepares individuals for the manufacturing environment. As production systems become more streamlined, the equipment that is used becomes more complex. Today's manufacturer is looking for technicians who can troubleshoot, repair, maintain, and program manufacturing equipment. The Robotics and Automation option provides training for these technicians.Robotics and Automated Controls - Short CertificateThis short-term certificate is designed to provide skills in robotics, PLC's, and automated assembly systems. Students who earn this certificate will have in-depth knowledge of FANUC robotics, Alan Bradley PLC's , and the integration of both through an automated work cell. They will also gain the skills needed to repair computer hardware and set up computer networks. Students will have the knowledge required to work as technicians in manufacturing facilites that use robotics and extensive automation. This certificate program is subject to Title IV clock to credit hour conversion.

This is a program that prepares individuals to be able to proficiently work in an entry level position in manufacturing or general industry.This is a career program designed for students to go directly into the labor market upon completion. Although some of the courses in this program will transfer to four-year institutions, this program is not designed to be a transfer program of study; therefore, it is not subject to the terms and conditions of Alabama Transfers state transfer and articulation reporting system.

The Rising Welder Certificate is an introductory welding program that enables students to obtain entry-level knowledge in Welding processes including Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), Blueprint reading, and a choice of Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) or Introduction to Fabrication.

NCCER’s four-level IM E&I curriculum covers topics such as Fasteners and Anchors, Process Mathematics, Hydraulic and Pneumatic Controls, Process Control Loops, Instrument Calibration and Configuration, Electronic Components, Programmable Logic Controllers, and an introduction to the National Electrical Code, to name a few. Students can complete all 4 levels of IM E&I in any order

Graduates of this GRCC Job Training program become Machine Tool/Computer Numerical Control (MT/CNC) technicians or CNC operators -- shaping metal and various materials to precise dimensions by using machine tools. These entry level positions in the tool and die and machine trades industries range from $12 to $18 per hour. MT/CNC technicians and operators plan and set up the correct sequence of machine operations by following blueprints, layouts or other instructions to write both manual and computer-generated machine programs.

Advanced training including the layout, design, and size of piping systems; specialized systems; public relations; tests, coding, and inspections (including solar); plumbing math, and safety requirements. Use saws, rigid chain cutters, thread-o-matics, triangles, T-squares and scales.

Do you want to learn a critical industry skill that offers an interesting career with high pay?Welding is the process of uniting or fusing metals or thermoplastics by applying intense heat. Skilled welders are in demand by large and small industries. Welding also offers the opportunity to be self-employed.Welding is a high salary and high skill profession. Industry, both nationally and locally, needs skilled welders. The federal Occupational Outlook Handbook indicates that the need for welders will grow by 15 percent over the next 10 years. The Diploma and Certificate in Welding Technology provide students with a sound understanding of the science, technology, and applications essential for successful employment. Career opportunities exist not only in the welding and metalworking industries, but also in construction, manufacturing, fabrication, sales, quality control, supervision, and welding-related self-employment.
