Catalog Description

The Associate in Science degree for Advanced Maintenance Mechanic builds upon the skills taught in the Maintenance Mechanic, Level 2 certificate.  This program includes a combination of lecture and practical hands-on laboratory-based classes.  Instructional topics include design, repair, maintenance, and operation of robotic systems, 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional CAD modeling and project design, and repair, maintenance and installation of power transmission systems.  This degree will benefit students interested in entering the manufacturing workforce as a maintenance mechanic or maintenance technician, becoming a Manufacturing Technologies instructor, or transferring to a 4-year university program.  Note: Requirements for the Associate Degree and RC General Education must also be completed.

Enrollment Completer Projections

The Advanced Manufacturing Program will be partnered with the Central Valley Fame chapter of FAME USA, an organization that partners schools with local industry. These industry partners will sponsor groups of students each year to enroll in and complete the 2-year program. Each year there will be 2 cohorts of 15–20 students enrolled (30–40 students annually) with 15–20 completers each year.
