In this course, learners examine the relationship between the properties and processes of various materials used in advanced industrial equipment. The properties include: mechanical strength, chemistry, and basic material characteristic. The processes include: modern manufacturing techniques, fabricating, casting, metallic finishes, plating and chip removal. Upon completion of the course, learners will be able to match materials and processes used in the manufacture of equipment.

In this course, students explore how members of a team contribute to the success of project execution. They investigate work measurement analysis tools and the planning and layout of a manufacturing operation. Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to recommend improvements to the manufacturing process.

In this course, students design a complex integrated automation system. They use industrial robotics, programmable logic controllers, pneumatics/hydraulics, and sensors to develop the system. Upon successful completion, students will be able to design, program, troubleshoot, and improve a functional industrial automation system.

In this course, learners build foundation skills needed to read and interpret industrial prints. These skills, used to interpret industrial prints, are presented in a logical order: title blocks, change blocks, shop notes, symbols, lines, orthographic views, section views, auxiliary views, pictorial views, and assembly views. Learners interpret part geometric dimensions and tolerances using basic math skills. Upon completion of the course, learners will be able to read, interpret, and apply drawing content to advanced industrial equipment.

In this course, students explore advanced programming techniques for industrial robots. They examine interfacing peripheral devices such as programmable logic controllers, industrial sensors, and human-machine interfaces to a robot. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to apply advanced programming techniques to industrial robots.

This course introduces students to some of the major theories and topics of psychology, including the physiological basis of behavior, personality and learning theories, memory, states of consciousness, stress, research methods, intelligence, human development, psychopathology, and social behavior.
