Program Outcomes
Students completing this emphasis will:
PSLO1: Students will operate equipment and tools used in manufacturing processes. Students will read and interpret technical prints for the diagnostic and troubleshooting of components and production systems.
PSLO2: Students will demonstrate programming, interfacing, and troubleshooting Programmable Logic Controllers.
PSLO3: Students will be able to integrate and troubleshoot motor controls, pneumatics, hydraulics, programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and robotics into complex production systems. Students will apply quality and statistical process control techniques to manage complex production systems and identify and correct inefficiencies.
