FAQs

What is an engineering technician? What does an engineering technician do?

Engineering technicians work in industrial and manufacturing plants and assist engineers with research and development, quality control, or design.

What is the average salary of an engineering technician?

According to Indeed.com, the average salary of an engineering technician in the United States is $63,191 per year.

What is advanced manufacturing?

According to Manufacturing.org, advanced manufacturing refers to the use of innovative technologies to create new and existing products. 

Does this course prepare you for a certification?

No.

What specific skills in advanced manufacturing will I learn in this course?

These are just a few of the advanced manufacturing skills you will learn in this course:

  • Advanced Manufacturing Processes: Understanding various manufacturing techniques like CNC machining, 3D printing, additive manufacturing, and automation.
  • Industrial Automation Systems: Knowledge of PLC programming and robotics, a skillset that is becoming increasingly important.
  • Mechatronic Systems: Understanding the integration of mechanical, electrical, and computer systems is valuable in advanced manufacturing.

Does the course include a focus on quality control and process improvement techniques?

Yes, this course has one lesson on Lean and one lesson on Quality. The lessons focus on ISO 9001, process design and development, lean manufacturing, and Six Sigma.

How is advanced manufacturing different from traditional manufacturing, and does the course cover these differences?

Traditional manufacturing relies on manual or mechanical processes that have been used for decades (e.g., lathes, mills, welding).

Advanced manufacturing uses innovative technology like automation, robotics, CNC machines, additive manufacturing (3D printing), and AI.

Example for an engineering technician:

  • Traditional: An engineering technician uses a manual lathe to cut a metal rod to size, measuring by hand with calipers.
  • Advanced: A technician uploads a CAD file into a CNC machine, which automatically cuts the metal rod to exact specs using digital controls, then inspects it using a laser scanner.

This covers three different types of CNCs, as well as basic programming and program execution on the machines. The course also provides a module on manual machining, so the learner will have versatility in this evolving industry.
