Program Description:
The program is designed to provide short term intensive training for individuals desiring to enter into the multiple occupations that make up the Advanced Manufacturing sector. This course is mainly directed towards the Electronics Assembly manufacturing occupations, such as Electrical and Electronic Equipment Assemblers, Electromechanical Equipment Assemblers and Electro-Mechanical Technicians. These occupations may be involved with the assembly or modification of electrical or electronic equipment, such as guidance systems, aviation controls, medical devices, automotive instrumentation, circuit boards for various applications and equipment. The Assembler may be involved in the inspection, installation of assemblies, installation of components, subassemblies, wiring, or assembly casings, using rivets, bolts, soldering, adjust, repair, or replace electrical or electronic component parts to correct defects and to ensure conformance to specifications, interpretation of schematic drawings, diagrams, blueprints, specifications, work orders, or reports to determine materials requirements or assembly instructions. The program includes Basic Computer Literacy course, which will ensure basic computer usage for daily work requirements, National Electrical Code that will cover Electrical safety and terminology, getting acquainted with the NEC standard while learning such terms as, ampacity, bonding, branch circuits, conductors, energized, ground, the intent is to relate the standard to  Electromechanical systems and assemblies and safety for the person and equipment. The IPC A-610E course will introduce the individual to the industry standard for Electronic Assemblies, and the attainment of the IPC Certified IPC Specialist, providing proof of knowledge and application of industry criteria workmanship standards. An in depth coverage of soldering theory, materials and tools, begin with the Universal Assembly & Repair course, to include projects such as wiring, splicing, terminals, component identification, and thru-hole soldering procedures and techniques. The Surface Mount  course continues with the installation and removal of surface mount components, both soldering courses are project based that set the workman ship standard to IPC Class 3 levels. At the completion of this program the student should be prepared to enter into the work force and ready to be productive.

Career Opportunities:
The following are titles associated with this career field: Assembler, Assembly Worker, Production Worker, Electronic Assembler, Factory Assembler, Factory Worker, Armature Assembler, Breaker Units Assembler, Final Motor Assembler, Gear Assembler. The manufacturing sectors that build electromechanical electronics systems, assemblies and devices are many and include defense, medical, and avionics.
