Manufacturing
Learn about the future of manufacturing. Our courses will introduce you to the basic knowledge of engineering processes and design. You will learn about product design using multiple principles that include:
- Mechanics
- Electronics
- Engineering
- Robotics
Smart factories advance manufacturing efficiency through connected systems. Cyber-physical systems use computers, networking and physical processes. Augmented reality, additive manufacturing, remote regulation, and control using CNC (Computer Numerical Control) will continue to advance manufacturing where products are built to a customer’s specific tastes.
Learn additional skills like:
- 3D Printing
- Augmented reality
- Automation control
