The Applied Physical Metallurgy Certificate program provides current metallurgical practitioners with an opportunity to reinforce technical skills and acquire the academic foundation needed for professional advancement. The program is geared toward part-time students and applies the materials science construct. Composition plus processing leads to structure, properties, and performance as defined by the customer.

Job Corps’ Advanced Electrical Service Technician, Pre-Apprenticeship training program teaches students advanced skills needed to install, repair and replace residential circuits and determine general wiring requirements, decide on and install proper anchors, fasteners and adhesives for electrical systems, and coordinate system repairs across teams. This program specifically prepares students for a Registered Apprenticeship after graduation. Students who complete the Advanced Electrical Service Technician, Pre-Apprentice program can earn industry-recognized credentials from the Homebuilder Institute (HBI) and earn certificates for OSHA training courses in Construction Safety and Health.

Job Corps’ Electrical training program teaches students the skills needed to work with electrical systems in homes, businesses and factories, including how to install, maintain and repair electrical power, communications, lighting and control systems in places of all sizes, read blueprints and diagrams and will need to follow state and local building regulations, and use various hand tools and power tools. These skills prepare students for jobs as electricians across industries, including in the construction, manufacturing or engineering industries. Students who complete the Electrical training program can earn industry-recognized credentials from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and certifications in construction health and safety from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

The Industrial Maintenance/Millwright Technology program is designed to help students exit the program with hands-on skills and knowledge recognized by industry partners as the key competencies to succeed in the field of industrial maintenance and/or millwright positions.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 Precision Machining Option of the Computer Integrated Manufacturing Engineering Technology Program (PMT) trains individuals to become machinists. The program is an engineering technology program that concentrates on the skills and concepts needed by today’s machine shops. Successful graduates should be ready to take on careers which include titles such as machinist (conventional and computer numerically controlled), tool and die maker, and mold maker. The curriculum includes computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing software packages that support the industry. The program follows the NIMs Level One Machinist skills and students should be able to take and pass the NIMs requirements to become a NIMs Level one machinist by graduation.

If you're eager to join the workforce without committing to a full degree program, consider enrolling in this short-term program. It's designed to equip you with the essential knowledge and skills required to kickstart your career in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC).The course is broken down into topics including HVAC operations, maintenance, and troubleshooting of residential and light commercial heating/cooling systems. Throughout the program, you'll learn to utilize diagnostic tools and techniques to pinpoint issues and optimize system performance in line with industry standards and manufacturer guidelines.

The General Technology major allows students to select course work necessary to become multiskilled technicians. In addition to completing the college's core curriculum, students also complete course work in at least two technical areas. The following is an example of a career path available. The secondary paths may be substituted for courses in other programs' primary path. Interested students should talk with their advisors.This career path prepares students for employment in the electrical construction and maintenance electrician trades. Emphasis is placed on electrical/ electronic theory, electrical equipment (motors, transformers, motor control and drive systems, programmable controllers, etc.), wiring techniques in accordance with the National Electric Code, and troubleshooting.Students can earn only one General Technology degree in a single career path.

You'll discover the major pitfalls of traditional coordinate tolerancing - and how they may be overcome by using Geometric Tolerancing. Then, starting with your basic print reading knowledge, you'll learn the symbols, terminology and rules of Geometric Tolerancing according to the ASME Y14.5M-1994 Standard.

The Industrial Controls: Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Certificate of Achievement is a course of study designed to quickly train new learners and/or incumbent electrical mechanics in the skills necessary to troubleshoot and program the PLCs used in batch and/or discrete automation. A PLC is a real-time industrially-hardened computer running a specialized Operating System which is typically programmed via the Relay Ladder Logic (RLL) programming language. PLCs are used to control high-speed factory automation equipment and manufacturing processes used in packaging, sorting, chemical processing, amusement parks, textiles, animatronics, conveyor belts, mining, petrochemical, and other manufacturing enterprises to name a few.The PLC certificate includes courses that will investigate both discrete and analog sensors, pneumatic directional control valves, AC and DC motors, and single-phase and three-phase power. The PLC used will be the Allen Bradley SLC 500 and the CompactLogix 5000-scale processor running RSLogix and Studio 5000 software. No special skills are required, however prior industrial electrical experience will prove beneficial to the student.
