From High Technology Curriculum Initiatives Application Narrative

From High Technology Curriculum Initiatives Application Narrative (Grant funded 1/12/2004)

Nevada attracts small to mid-size companies that require employees with a wide
range of skills and abilities. Strong foundation skills are most in demand: technical math, measuring, basic electrical and mechanical, PC and industrial computer, blueprint reading, preventative maintenance concepts, communication, teamwork, and critical thinking. TMCC proposes to develop an Associate in Applied Science in Manufacturing Technology with two options in emphases that address these training needs: Industrial Controls and Computer Aided Manufacturing. In addition, the project will create two showcase labs: a computer numerical control machining lab with computers, table top mills and lathes and an industrial controls lab with conveyors, industrial robotics, and programmable logic controllers. Both labs will utilize state-of-the-art technology including 3D imaging, computer simulations, and computer-controlled manufacturing systems.
