Manufacturing Technology - Lehigh Carbon Community College

Manufacturing Technology from Lehigh Carbon Community College is a Campus Associate Manufacturing Technology degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. This program is designed to prepare students for employment as mechanical technicians or electronics technicians in a manufacturing environment. Current trends in industry require technicians to have skills in multiple disciplines to design, install, operate, and troubleshoot both the mechanical workings as well as the electrical and/or electronic devices that control modern production machinery. This program is comprehensive in that it steps students through a typical design-to-build process utilized by many manufacturing companies. The courses build upon each other and challenge students through laboratory-related projects and experiments. Upon successful completion of this program, graduates will be able to: connect components into basic electrical circuits and use multimeters to verify circuit operation. connect digital circuits, such as logic gates, flip flops, counters, and arithmetic circuits, all common to computers, into functioning circuits. draw the architecture of a typical microprocessor and explain the operation of each section on the microprocessor. use programmable logic controllers to control specific process control operations. use electrophysical sensors to measure such conditions as light, heat, pressure, and motion to control and operate power devices. perform operational tests on a variety of hydraulic and pneumatic circuits. work from manufacturing handbooks, catalogs, and other informational sources to obtain data necessary for selecting manufacturing components. proficiently use a computer-aided drafting (CAD) workstation to design and draw up necessary machinery parts. determine the most efficient process to manufacture a product based on its functionality and working environment. generate CNC programs utilizing computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software. select tooling that will most effectively machine component parts.
