The course sequence and content provides the quantitative, written and technical skills required for entry-level positions in manufacturing, and is also an option for individuals currently working in the field and wishing to update their skills to current technologies.

Though most of the curriculum will be taught on campus, the hands-on technical courses will be offered at state- of-the-art industrial laboratories at regional vocational schools and possibly local manufacturing facilities. In addition to serving as a valuable career-building credential, the program allows continuation of studies in the A.S. Engineering Technology Manufacturing program.
