Basic safety principles, as well as the introduction to trade Licensure and manufacturing guidelines used in the industry. It will provide diverse experiential learning opportunities within a progressive curriculum, using advanced technology, industry cooperation, and alumni support to prepare students for productive futures in the Manufacturing industry. This program will present a range of opportunities for students to earn small industry-recognized certificates as well as more a comprehensive Certificate of Achievement in Advanced Manufacturing. Students will additionally have the opportunity to earn an A.S. Degree which is designed to prepare students to contribute in the manufacturing process from design to finish in a managerial capacity. This will be accomplished with training that employs industry tours, internships and hands-on experiences with manual, semi-automatic, and CNC equipment operations that models industry principles and practices during the process of advanced manufacturing.\n\nFor skilled individuals employment opportunities are virtually unlimited.  Manufacturing jobs are open in both heavy and light industries throughout California as well as the nation and the world.  The United States faces a need for nearly 3.5 million manufacturing jobs over the next decade, and 2 million of those jobs are likely to go unfilled due to a skills gap, according to new research from Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute.\n\nThis program has a prerequisite of ITEC 55.\n\n**Program Learning Outcome(s):**\nUpon successful completion of the program, the student will be able to:\n\n1.  Practice safety skills required on job sites.\n2.  Apply precision measurement strategies and unit conversion skills.\n3.  Explain the basic principles of feed and speed settings on various manufacturing platforms."
