This program prepares a student to become certified as an advanced CADD operator. Coursework includes the creation of 2D and 3D CADD drawings using AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or other modeling software in support of industry trends and technology advancements. In addition, the student would be capable of customizing the CAD software program, with additional skills in solid modeling and other areas of CADD.
The Industrial Production Technology program is designed to prepare students for entry level jobs in paper and chemical process industries.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 Industrial Technology AAS degree prepares students for job advancement or to transfer to a four-year institution to obtain a bachelor’s degree in technology-dependent fields such as, automotive technology and service, building construction, electronics,heating, ventilating and air conditioning, electrical technology, automated systems maintenance and manufacturing, machine design, and welding to name a few. This program is designed to afford students with the flexibility to tailor their coursework to meet their individual occupational or transfer goals. Students may complete this program at the Harrisburg Campus through a combination of mixed modalities (e.g., on-campus/in-person instruction, hybrid, flex, remote instruction and/or virtual learning)
You will learn various welding and pipe fabrication techniques in a setting similar to those found in real-world workplaces, preparing you to immediately enter the workforce.
The Process Operation Technology program prepares graduates for entry-level process and operations positions in manufacturing, chemical, steel manufacturing, power generation, water treatment, refining fuels, and other plant-operation related industries. The program provides instruction designed to develop knowledge in the monitoring and controlling principles used in modern industry as well as the technical skills needed to apply these principles. Graduates earn the Process Operation Technology Associate in Applied Science Degree.
Electro-Mechanical Technology (or mechatronics) is one of the most in-demand and highly sought-after careers in the manufacturing industry. The combination of electrical and mechanical skills based in computer-aided drafting, and machine technology create a unique blend of knowledge desirable to industry. These technicians are trained in a variety of skill areas, allowing companies to utilize their knowledge for a vast array of technical and mechanical issues. When everyday issues arise that could cost a company revenue when they occur, having a multi-skilled technician on staff that can address issues immediately allows companies to continue production at a minimal loss. Electro-mechanical technicians have become essential positions in the manufacturing industry.
CNC Machines create products used everyday such as watches, car parts, tools, bottle openers, weapons and so much more. CNC Machining is a skill that is used in multiple industries, giving you multiple opportunities to find a state of the art career. Virginia Peninsula has partnered with an area manufacturing company to provide CNC Machining training to the Virginia Peninsula. Get quality and affordable training in a real work environment.CNC Machining training will teach you how to use precision instruments to check your work, interpret modern engineering drawings, find and correct program troubles, quickly and accurately set up machines and how to use Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software.
This certificate will prepare students to become machine operators in the machine tool industry. The courses involved in this certificate program can be applied to the CNC diploma or the Associate Degree in Advanced Machine Tool Technology.
The Occupational Safety and Health Construction Safety Technician Certificate was developed due to the need for trained health and safety professionals in the construction industry. This certificate is designed for individuals with current or past experience in the construction industry who are interested in taking on an expanded role focusing on construction safety. This certificate requires successful completion of a minimum of 56-59 credits as outlined.
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.
