Program Goals and Objectives
Fremont is the Manufacturing Hub of the Silicon Valley. Over the last 5 years, local industry has requested that Ohlone College provide training for local Manufacturing Technicians. Labor Market Data indicates a forecasted regional growth of about 23% in the demand for Manufacturing Technicians. Ohlone College would like to be a leader in providing training for Manufacturing Technicians of the 21st Century.
The Associate of Science Degree in Smart Manufacturing Technology at Ohlone provides entry- level manufacturing technicians with the relevant knowledge and skills for Smart Manufacturing in the 21st Century. Students will have the opportunity to gain relevant knowledge and skills in Industry 4.0 standards, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Additive Manufacturing,Manufacturing processes, Safety in Industry, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC)s,Troubleshooting and Fabrication Techniques.
The competencies students will achieve in this program include basic electromechanical trouble shooting techniques, problem solving, lab notebook record-keeping, hands-on skills with common tools and equipment used in manufacturing industries. An understanding of safety in industry, and the professional skills our industry advisory board has identified as critical to success in the engineering workforce are embedded in the program.
Catalog Description
The Associate of Science Degree in Smart Manufacturing Technology at Ohlone provides entry- level manufacturing technicians with the relevant knowledge and skills for Smart Manufacturing in the 21st Century. Students will have the opportunity to gain relevant knowledge and skills in Industry 4.0 standards, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Additive Manufacturing,Manufacturing processes, Safety in Industry, PLCs, Electronic Troubleshooting,and Fabrication Techniques. After successful completion of the AS Degree in Smart Manufacturing Technology, students can pursue a career as a Smart Factory Technician, Industry Standard 4.0 Technician, Robotic Technician, Mechatronics Technician, Industrial Technician, Manufacturing Technician, Electromechanical Technician, Process Technician, Maintenance Technician or a Quality Control Technician.
Student Learning Outcomes
1. Operate relevant Fabrication and Manufacturing Equipment such as CNC Machines, Mills, Lathes, Laser Cutters, Smart Factories, 3D Printers etc
2. Demonstrate understanding of Smart Manufacturing Processes including but not limited to Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)/ Industry Standard 4.0.
3. Apply basic scientific and engineering principles to solve problems in the manufacturing industry.
Demonstrate ability to working a team on a project.
Master Planning
The goal of the Associate Degree in Smart Manufacturing Technology Program is to prepare students for entry-level positions in manufacturing industries, like Tesla, SLAC, LLNL, Lam Research,Bay Area Circuits and Topcon. This goal is aligned with the mission of the California Community College system to prepare students for career technical pathways. It also supports Ohlone College’s mission to offer instruction for career development. Ohlone’s Mission Statement states:
“The mission of Ohlone College is to serve the community by offering instruction for basic skills, career entry, university transfer, economic development, and personal enrichment for all who can benefit from our instruction in an environment where student learning success is highly valued, supported, and continually assessed.”
Furthermore, the Associate Degree in Smart Manufacturing Technology Program supports the college in achieving strategic goals and objectives listed in its 2015-2020 Master Plan. For example, Ohlone’s 2015-2020 Master Plan lists the college’s second strategic goal as follows:
“Provide relevant sustainable Career Education (CE) that is responsive to student needs,supports student academic success, and prepares students to meet industry needs.”
The theoretical knowledge and laboratory skills acquired by students in this program will enhance their success with obtaining entry-level jobs that require one year of basic college-level science and engineering technology.
Enrollment and Completer Projections
The Engineering & Engineering Technology department has seen a significant growth over the last 3 years. This growth is projected to continue over time. The Associate Degree in Smart Manufacturing Technology is a new addition to the department. The table below shows enrollment data of existing engineering and engineering technology courses and also data on some courses that are part of the new Associate Degree in Smart Manufacturing Technology Program. Based on existing data, the annual completer projections for the The Smart Manufacturing Technology Certificate of Achievement is 30-40 students/year.
