Industrial Technology
Advanced Manufacturing
Advanced manufacturing is the use of innovative technologies and methodologies for
improved competitiveness in the manufacturing sectors. The aim of advanced manufacturing
is to enhance output; create quality valued added products that respond to market
need; reduce the time to market with improved materials while controlling inventory.
Courses include those that teach new technologies such as 3D printing as well as foundational
courses such as Fundamentals of Metrology Concepts. Courses under this section can
be stacked into microcredentials, certificates or degrees. There are many local companies
looking to employ people with these skills.
