Course Description:

Introduces manufacturing processes and basic mechanical, electrical, and fluid power principles and practices used in manufacturing environments. Topics include; types of production, production materials, machining and tooling, manufacturing planning, production control, and product distribution will be covered. Students will be expected to understand the product life cycle from conception through distribution. This course also focuses on technologies used in production processes. Basic power systems, energy transfer systems, machine operation and control will be explored. This course will use lecture, lab, online simulation and programming to prepare students for Certified Production Technician Testing through Manufacturing Skill Standards Council (MSSC).

Outcomes:

This course prepared me to take the MSSC Certified Production Technician exams, which I passed. So, I am a MSSC Certified Production Technician!
