Industry demand for highly skilled problem-solvers continues to increase, but there is a lack of qualified employees with the high-tech, design engineering and critical thinking skills needed to fill Advanced Manufacturing positions. The Industry 4.0 certificate prepares students for these Advanced Manufacturing positions by offering them the opportunity to earn FI4.0CP Industry Certifications. To have the opportunity to earn these Certifications, students will complete illustrative labs and assignments provided by FI4.0CP certified instructors.FI4.0CP - Festo Industry 4.0 Certification Program
Students in this program are prepared for careers in industrial drafting and design of industrial components. Companies that manufacture physical products and that have production process equipment need their products, facilities and equipment drawn, detailed and designed prior to their manufacture or installation. Students gain an overview of manufacturing processes through hands on lab classes in CNC machining, welding and electrical controls as well as Computer Aided design program training and conversion of 3D designs into CNC programs and rapid prototyping of designs.
This program is designed for employees of Keurig Green Mountain. Students will be given specialized electrical technology training that will support production operations at Keurig-Green Mountain.
The General Technology major allows students to select course work necessary to become multi-skilled 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 program prepares students for a broad range of employment within the industrial maintenance field. The program is designed to develop multi- skilled technicians who install, maintain and repair commercial or industrial machinery in buildings, process plants or manufacturing settings. The mechanical primary path provides a solid foundation in drive systems, hydraulics, pneumatics, pumps, piping systems, and machinery preventive and predictive maintenance.
