Manufacturing Technology
Associate of Science Manufacturing Technology · El Camino College · 2026-2027 Catalog
Design and Applied Technology Division www.elcamino.edu/academics/divisions/design-and-applied-technology/
The manufacturing technology program prepares students for employment in fields related to manufacturing. By completing the degree or certificate requirements, students acquire a foundation in computer aided design, machining, electronics, technical mathematics, and welding. Students also select a career field in which to specialize or broaden their knowledge. These fields include computer aided design/drafting, electronics, environmental technology, machine tool technology, quality assurance, or welding. Competencies will be assessed regularly by student performance in the classroom and laboratory.
