The West Hills College Lemoore Manufacturing Automation Degreeprogram is modeled after local industry competency standards. This programincludes study in the following areas: electrical theory and components,soldering, wiring diagrams, safety, programmable logic controllers,instrumentation, temperature, pressure, level detectors, computer integratedmanufacturing motor theory and wiring, and mechanical systems. This programprepares students for careers in manufacturing automation, intermediate-levelpositions in petroleum/energy, manufacturing, instrumentation/process control,logistics and distribution, ancillary services, food and materials processing,and industrial maintenance. Studentswill be prepared for entry level positions in Industrial Automation Specialist,Industrial Technician, and Industrial Electrical Technician.
AssociateDegree Requirements:
· Complete a minimum of 18 semester units in amajor or area of emphasis
· Complete Local General Education and Districtrequirements
· Complete elective units for total of 60 degreeapplicable semester units
· Complete all required courses for the major orarea of emphasis, English, and math with a “C” or better
· Obtain an overall minimum grade point average of 2.0
Students interested in transfer to bachelor’s degree programs inindustrial automation would complete CSU General Education Requirements in lieuof Local General Education.
We estimate 15 students will earn the degree annually.
