Manufacturing Engineering Technology

GOAL 1 Students display general behavior and attitudes expected of an entry level production team member by a manufacturing, construction, agricultural, or fabrication-oriented business.

1. Demonstrate positive attitudes and acceptable behaviors for such things as reporting to work regularly and on time, working in a team, honesty, quality-minded, and accepting alternative points of view.

2. Follow all prescribed safety rules including the wearing of personal protection devices, properly using lifting tools to move equipment & supplies, following lockout/tagout procedures, and site specific requirements.

GOAL 2 Graduates of the program will have a general understanding and appreciation for the procedures within manufacturing such as safety, quality, logistics, and accurate reporting, and be prepared to positively contribute to the production team.

1. Demonstrate the correct use of rulers, gauges, and precision measuring tools to properly identify sizes and locations of part features.

2. Analyze industrial prints including dimensions, tolerances, allowances, geometric tolerances, and notes.

GOAL 3 Graduate will demonstrate the aptitude, attitude, reasoning, and communication skills to lead production teams, design machine tool layouts on the shop floor, develop procedures to check part quality, and continue their education.

1. Communicate in a formal manner both written and oral, that which expected of supervisors or mid-level managers.

2. Prepare reports detailing conclusions and recommendations for manufacturing process optimization and analysis of manufacturing problems.

GOAL 4 Graduates of the program will demonstrate the understanding of engineering drawings, materials science, manufacturing processes, quality assurance, and other areas that prepare graduates to pursue a bachelor’s degree or enter into employment as a production professional.

1. Compare manufacturing methods to assure optimization, quality assurance, and appropriate use of technology.

2. Troubleshoot machining problems including tooling, finish, dimensional errors, and work holding.

3. Design statistical tests to analyze the quality and quality trends of manufacturing data.
