Manufacturing
The manufacturing industry has become highly automated and computerized,
requiring employees with well-developed technical and
interpersonal skills. Current manufacturing employees must be computer
literate and team oriented. They need to understand quality
control concepts and be able to diagnose and solve production problems.
Wor-Wic's manufacturing engineering technology programs
provide students with an opportunity to develop the skills and
knowledge required for employment in a wide range of high technology
manufacturing and technology-intensive industries. Two associate
of applied science degree and two certificate of proficiency
options are available. High school courses in mathematics and the
physical sciences are encouraged for students who choose any of the
manufacturing engineering technology options.
The manufacturing computer-aided drafting degree option prepares
students for positions in computer-aided drafting, computer-aided
manufacturing, tool design, and other product and production development
functions, as well as quality control and the production
phase of the manufacturing industry. The manufacturing transfer degree
option is designed for students who want to transfer to the University
of Maryland Eastern Shore or another four-year college or
university and work toward a bachelor's degree in mechanical/manufacturing
engineering technology. To ensure maximum transferability,
students should familiarize themselves with the program requirements
of the institution to which they plan to transfer.
The manufacturing computer-aided drafting certificate option is designed
to provide students with skills in computer technology to prepare
for positions in various manufacturing, fabrication and processing
companies. This option focuses on high-level computer skills,
computer-aided drafting (CAD) applications, 2-D and 3-D drafting
and modeling, geometric tolerancing, and tool and product design.
Students who excel in CAD can take a certification examination in
AutoCAD. The manufacturing engineering technology certificate option
prepares students for entry-level positions in the production,
quality control and maintenance areas of manufacturing.
