This course is currently only offered at UNR. Students wishing to take this course can take it at UNR and transfer the credit to TMCC.

Students completing this degree will:

  • Interpret technical prints for the production and inspection of manufactured work pieces.
  • Diagnose and repair electrical and mechanical components commonly used in a production operation. Students will use quality control standards to troubleshoot inefficiencies in a production system.
  • Manage complex production systems, equipment, and controls. In doing so, students will apply quality and statistical process control techniques. Students will also produce precision machined work pieces within print specifications on computer numerical controlled (CNC) machine tools.
