Prerequisite: None
Work
experience/career internship provides the opportunity for Manufacturing
Technology students to apply skills and knowledge learned in the classroom to
related experiences on the job/training site. The aim of the course is
to assist students in expanding specific job skills. In the process of
doing so, it creates greater communication with increased understanding
between the student/workers, the college, and the employee/ trainers.
Students also pursue a program of self-evaluation to determine individual job
weaknesses and strengths. Semester projects that relate to the major
and job skills must be completed on the job/training site. This course
may be taken for a maximum of 16 units. (Formerly MFGT 73/74)

tables are covered to emphasize quality improvement with manufacturing
sampling. Actual case studies and current manufacturing quality issues and
concerns will be studied. Related terms and methods of Quality
Assurance (QA), Total Quality Management (TQM), International Standards
Organization (ISO) 9000 Quality Standards, Statistical Process Control (SPC),
just in time (JIT) as well as other quality tools will be outlined and
identified. (Formerly MFGT 11)
ISO 9000:2000 QUALITY STANDARDS - MFGT 56
Units: 1.5
(9-Weeks)
Class hours: 3
lecture
