Technology — Manufacturing Technology all workers below the level of professional engineers, who perform specialized tasks requiring a basic knowledge of principles in design, manufacturing, installation, operation, maintenance, and repair of equipment. His technical knowledge permits him to perform many of the duties formerly assigned to the graduate engineer. Technicians design the mechanism, compute the cost, write the specifications, inspect the finished product, originate a tool, test the finished product, do special machine work, aid professional scientists and engi- ers in research and development work, and help in solving complex problems in modern industry. In this way, the technician carries out vitally important assignments and takes his place on the engineering team. The technician usually specialized in one aspect of engineering. He might, for example, work as a draftsman, detail designer, a cost estimator, production supervisor, time study man, an expeditor, materials handler, stock chaser, a research assistant, a quality control technician, inspector, technical salesman, or a production planner. In executing his function, the technician is required to use a high degree of rational thinking, and to employ post-secondary school mathematics and principles of physical and natural science. He thereby assumes the more routine engineering functions in relation to machines, materials and processes. He must effectively communicate engineering and craftsman ideas, mathematically, graphically and linguistically. Students majoring in Manufacturing Technology and completing the required course of study can obtain a Certificate of Completion. Students desiring an Associate of Science degree must include the specific course of study and area requirements listed under the requirements for a Bachelor of Science degree. Students should consult with the department head regarding the associate program. Technology — Belated Technical Education Course Mfg. Eng.
