Certificate of Achievement

JUSTIFICATION: New Program

The original Machining Shop Technology Certificate of Achievement and listed in the PCC Catalog 2017-2018 has been deleted and is no longer being offered to students due to insufficient resources to offer required course for students and out-of-date curriculum. Based on an advisory meeting, industry leaders are interested in PCC offering Machine Shop Technology courses under a new certificate program, in order for students to enroll in courses that are transcriptable, which currently there is no certificate of achievement that allows for this.  In order to complete this task, a new program will be proposed that includes all current and available machine shop technology courses that are being offered, and combine them with other relative manufacturing courses for an obtainable certificate of achievement.

To accommodate working students, some courses are available during the evening/weekends and students may enroll full or part-time. Students who complete the program requirements are awarded the Certificate of Achievement in Engineering Technology – Machine Shop Technology. Manufacturing and Industrial Technicians will continue to play a key role in maintaining California’s competitive advantage in the market.

Item 4. Master Planning

According to the Labor Market Information (LMI) provided by Center of Excellence (COE), the manufacturing and industrial technology and sheet metal and structural metal programs train students for twenty-one different manufacturing occupations. Collectively, these occupations are expected to decline by 4% within Los Angeles and Orange Counties by 2020.  In the South Central Coast region, computer-numeric-control (CNC) manufacturing dominates the advanced manufacturing sector. For example, in the Santa Clarita Valley, there are more than 100 CNC industries. A major driver in the region is the aerospace industry, with Boeing and Airbus manufacturing parts locally. Another major CNC employer is Haas Automation, a machine and tool building company in Oxnard. Locally, the aerospace industry has been increasingly seeking workers skilled in assembly. There are several large corporations that dominate advanced manufacturing in the region and employ hundreds of workers. Advanced manufacturing in the Inland Empire/Desert Region reported in March of 2017, an annual opening (2015-2020) of 195 Machinist (51-4041) which includes program top codes of manufacturing and industrial technology-095600 and machining and machine tools-095630, with 6 total average annual associate degrees and 19 total annual average certificates.

In the Los Angeles region, the top employers hiring manufacturing and industrial technology and sheet metal and structural metal occupations include: SpaceX (74 job postings) and Precision Castparts (38). The top titles for manufacturing and industrial technology and sheet metal and structural metal occupations are: machinist/CNC machinist, quality control inspector, CNC programmer, safety manager and quality assurance specialist. Top skills include: inspection, computer numerical control, machining, using micrometers, and using calipers.

In addition, Mount San Antonio College (Mt. SAC) in Walnut, California, has seen a rise from 2 degrees awarded in 2012-2013 academic year to 23 degrees the following year and maintaining and an average of 14 degrees awarded a year.  Also, according to the same sources, jobs in the CNC machining occupations in the San Diego area with have a slight increase over the next 3 years with nearly 130 openings created due to replacement factors.

1. The Manufacturing and Industrial Technology is designed to prepare students for occupations such as; computer aided design (CAD) operators, draftsmen, or design engineers, and computer aided manufacturing (CAM) machine programmers, inspectors, machinists, computer-controlled machine tool operators and programmers, lathe and turning machine tool operators, industrial engineering technicians, and metal press operator’s workers.

2. This program offers students a wide range of skills associated with common manufacturing processes such as computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), traditional machining practices, electronics and welding.

3. This program covers computerized manufacturing methods, computer aided drafting and machining, material testing and inspection.

4. The program is related to similar fields of manufacturing and is intended to prepare individuals for practical careers in the research, development, and actual fabrication of materials, equipment, and other new products.

5. The manufacturing and industrial technology program also offers skills based upon elements of industrial organization and planning and productivity improvement.
