Advanced Manufacturing

Advanced manufacturing may be defined as the rapid transfer of science and technology into the manufacture of products or producing technologically complex products using high-level design skills. Technically skilled employees, especially those who are cross-trained for different positions, are in high demand. Students may concentrate on one of four areas: CNC (Computer Numerical Control)/machining, industrial systems, manufacturing/design or welding.

What they do

  • Machinists and tool and die makers set up and operate a variety of computer-controlled and mechanically controlled machine tools to produce precision metal parts, instruments and tools.
  • Welders join metal parts together and also fill holes, indentions, or seams of metal products, using hand-held metal joining equipment.
  • Maintenance workers repair factory equipment and other industrial machinery. Assemblers put together finished products and the parts that go in them.
  • Computer-assisted designers and drafters use computer software to convert designs into technical drawings and plans.
  • Degree may also be a bridge to JC’s Bachelor of Science in Energy Systems Management.
Q What do employers look for?

Employers typically look for applicants with some college education, usually a certificate or associate degree.

Q What is the average pay?
