Fabrication Emphasis
Manufacturing Technologies Degree –
Associate of Applied Science
The fabrication emphasis of manufacturing technologies
provides students with the skills to utilize welding, machining,
and metal forming methods to fabricate complex projects.
Emphasizing hands-on learning, these courses introduce students
to the complete fabrication process, from design to production.
DegreeOutcomes
Students completing the degreewill:
• Fulfill the requirements of the Associate of Applied Science.
• Demonstrate competency in their specified emphasis.
Emphasis Outcomes
Students completing the emphasis will:
• Read, follow, and revise drawings as they relate to fabrication,
production, and testing of manufacturing products.
• Demonstrate the ability to understand the importance of and
follow the safety guidelines and practices as mandated by
federal standards.
• Work in a team environment to organize resources and apply
problem solving skills to complete a fabrication project.
