Core Courses

Math for machinists, basic machines, hydraulics.

Machine Tools

Applications, operation, and maintenance.

Robotics and Numerical Controls

Theory, applications, operation, and maintenance.

Imagine an automobile assembly line: a large conveyor system moves unfinished automobiles down the line, giant robotic welding arms bond the different body panels together, hydraulic lifts move the motor into the body of the car, and giant presses stamp body parts from flat sheets of steel. All of these machines—the hydraulic lifts, the robotic welders, the conveyor system, and the giant presses—represent the objects of industrial technology.

Electricity and Electrical Systems

Motors, generators, electrical distribution and control.

Electronics Technology

Basic electronics, devices and circuits, communications, and digital devices and circuits.

Nuclear Technology

Theory, applications, operation, and maintenance.
