The Robotics Certificate of Achievement is designed to prepare students for entry-level technical work utilizing Computer Numerical Control (CNC) technologies.
This is a new program but estimates of 25 students earning the certificate annually are within reason.
The Robotics Certificate of Achievement is designed to provide students with practical, career-oriented skills for technical environments using current industry technologies. Students receive hands-on experience in the fundamentals of AutoCAD and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) in addition to the basics of robotics.
The Certificate of Achievement is a Career and Technical Education (CTE) certificate designed for students who are interested in engineering but may lack the mathematical fortitude. It is also aimed to serve those in the community who work in technical industries looking to learn new skills.
Robotics Certificate of Achievement Goals:
1 – Provide a quality education that will prepare students to become entry level CNC mill and lathe operators and technicians.
2 – Prepare students to become successfully employed in the tech and manufacturing industry.
3 – Instruct students to become technicians to work with engineers and designers.
Course | Title | Units | Year/Semester (Y1 or S1) |
---|---|---|---|
ENGT 009 | Introduction to Robotics | 2 | Y1 Fall |
ENGT 010A | Computer Numerical Control IA | 1 | Y1 Fall/Spring |
ENGT 010B | Computer Numerical Control IB | 2 | Y1 Fall/Spring |
ENGT 011 | Computer Numerical Control II | 3 | Y1 Fall/Spring |
DRA 002 | AutoCAD | 4 | Y1 Fall/Spring |
ESYS 095A | Energy Systems Technology Work Experience | 1 | Y1 Fall/Spring |
The required core courses in this program may be completed quickly and in two sequential semesters. Courses CNC I and II are to be taken in sequential eight-week courses in one semester.
