Manufacturing and Technology
Manufacturing and Technology is a field of study designed to prepare
technically oriented individuals for employment in industries such as
industrial and automotive manufacturing, equipment technology and
maintenance, tool and die maintenance, biomedical equipment technology,
industrial and commercial electronics, and computer aided
drafting/design (CADD). Manufacturing and Technology offers seven
options that cover these areas: (1) Industrial Technology, (2)
Biomedical Equipment Technology (3) Tool and Die Technology, (4)
Automated Manufacturing, (5) Electronics, (6) Computer Aided
Drafting/Design (CADD), and (7) Telecommunications (Outside Plant
Design.) Electives allow those students to pursue Advanced Welding, and
CNC Machining competencies.

Automotive Manufacturing Technology
Automotive Manufacturing Technology is the field of study designed to
prepare students for employment in automotive manufacturing and the
industries that support automotive manufacturing. The Automotive
Manufacturing Technology degree focuses on the skills needed for the
high-tech processes associated with modern manufacturing. Upon
graduation, students will have the skills and training needed to work in
the automotive field. Topics include: Computer Aided Drafting,
Electronics, Fluid Power, Automotive Fundamentals, Robotics,
Programmable Logic Controllers, and others approved by an advisor. Upon
completion of the required classes, the student will be awarded an
Associates in Applied Science in Automotive Manufacturing Technology.

Tool & Die Apprenticeship
The Manufacturing & Technology Center at Jefferson State Community
College is constantly at work with local industry and students. An
example of one local industries Department of Labor approved
apprenticeship program is the Tool and Die option with Ogihara America
Corp as shown below. This type of program is a win/win situation with
the student and the sponsor company. After completing these classes, the
student may continue on to an Associates of Applied Science in a
manufacturing program or continue working in the sponsor industry.
