| The Butte College Advanced Manufacturing Program serves our community by providing diverse experiential learning opportunities in a progressive curriculum, using modern technology, industry cooperation, and alumni support to prepare students for a productive future in Advanced Manufacturing. This program is designed to teach students skills by simulations and field internship experiences required to meet industry standards and ISO 9000 (International Organization for Standardization), lean manufacturing standards and Cal OSHA standards and practices. |
|---|
| This program takes four semesters to complete. To be successful in this program, students need basic competence in mathematics, must possess good eyesight at least with corrective lenses, possess computer skills, sufficient physical stamina to be able to stand and bend for long periods, the desire to be inventive and not to be bothered by extended exposure to the outdoors. Students who are still enrolled in high school and who are considering a career as in advanced manufacturing are encouraged to take courses in welding, design/modeling, drafting software, mathematics, and industrial education. Courses in physical sciences and physics would enhance a student's knowledge and broaden one's experiences. The objective of this program is to teach students to read and follow drawing and work orders, lay out jobs to be done, cut and bend materials, operate CNC cutting an forming equipment, operate a robotic welder, utilize modeling, equipment, and production software. This program will design and manufacture assemblies of small and large scale. |
| Career Opportunities For skilled individuals employment opportunities are virtually unlimited. Manufacturing jobs are open in both heavy and light industries throughout California as well as the nation and the world. The United States faces a need for nearly 3.5 million manufacturing jobs over the next decade, and 2 million of those jobs are likely to go unfilled due to a skills gap, according to new research from Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute. |
We are projected to have 20 students in the program and same number of students complete the Certificate of Achievement and about 3 students per year earn an AS Degree.
Program Proposal Attributes
- Certificate of Achievement: 8 to fewer than 16 semester (or 12 to fewer than 24 quarter) units (B)
- Certificate of Achievement: 16 or greater semester (or 24 or greater quarter) units (C)
- A.S. Degree (S)
The Advanced Manufacturing program will provide diverse experiential learning opportunities within a progressive curriculum, using advanced technology, industry cooperation, and alumni support to prepare students for productive futures in the Manufacturing industry. This program will present a range of opportunities for students to earn small industry-recognized certificates as well as more a comprehensive Certificate of Achievement in Advanced Manufacturing. Students will additionally have the opportunity to earn an A.S. Degree which is designed to prepare students to contribute in the manufacturing process from design to finish in a managerial capacity. This will be accomplished with training that employs industry tours, internships and hands-on experiences with manual, semi-automatic,and CNC equipment operations that models industry principles and practices during the process of advanced manufacturing.
