8 courses with the subject GTEC, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
Provides essential knowledge of industry standard safety practices for industrial environments. This course covers electrical and workplace safety standards as set forth by the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Students earn an OSHA-30 General Industry Card through successful completion of this course.
Addresses the mechanical properties of materials used in manufacturing. This course explores the basic principles of materials selection, manufacturing processes, and the relationship of materials to manufacturing methods. Material properties are examined in laboratory sessions with destructive and nondestructive tests. A course fee is required.
The skills required to communicate effectively and efficiently with customers and the overall importance of good customer service to the company. Sound customer service decisions, accuracy in documentation and reporting, and the importance of personal and workplace appearances are also covered.
Modern manufacturing principles and processes. This survey course includes business planning, forecasting, master scheduling, master resource planning, and just-in-time manufacturing. Students become familiar with local manufacturing companies. The course is divided into three parts. Part I includes classroom discussion and exercises on the evolution of the manufacturing industry and manufacturing economics. Part II consists of laboratory activities and observations at participating manufacturing companies. Part III is follow-up classroom discussion and exercises focusing on critical workplace skills (attendance, punctuality, communication, teamwork, resume writing, and interview skills). A course fee is required.
Introduces construction print reading fundamentals. The course focuses on reading basic construction drawings and specifications and recognizing and interpreting architectural, mechanical, and electrical symbols commonly found in both residential and commercial applications.
Addresses force systems on rigid bodies and their response to the applied forces. This course analyzes the equilibrium of planar and non-planar force systems, centroids, and moments of inertia. Algebra and trigonometry are used to solve applied examples. Prerequisite: MATH 103 or 116; and 104 with grades of C or higher.
Analyzes manufacturing effectiveness through the application of fundamental statistical concepts to production processes. Control charting, including mean (X) and range (R) charts, are studied and applied as a technique to improve productivity through the analysis of process variability. placement through the College Placement and Testing Program. 304
Laboratory exercises to support theory of CVTE 208. Labs include measurement of mechanical properties of materials, and structural testing. A course fee is required. Prerequisite: GTEC 201 with a grade of C or higher.
