Advanced Manufacturing Technician Certificate


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Degrees and Certificates Offered

Program Overview

The demand for manufacturing technicians exists throughout McHenry County and the entire country. Every phase of American life is dependent upon their efforts. Everything that is planned and fabricated, from airplanes to sewing machines, needs detailed designs that must first be tested and then brought into production. As our society becomes more automated and computer enhanced, the need for these semi-professionals will continue to increase.

Manufacturing design and engineering technicians are part of the engineer-scientist-technician team that designs and produces a variety of products. Assignments include traditional drafting, Computer Aided Design (CAD), implementing engineering directives, material and product testing, and customer service.

The Advanced Manufacturing Technician certificate program provides a number of options. Students may wish to earn other related certificates in related manufacturing technologies, such as supervision or manufacturing processes. Or, students can continue studies and earn an Associate in General Studies (AGS). Check with the department chair of Applied Technologies regarding goals and the future transferability of coursework.
