ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY

The purpose of this program is to prepare students for employment in advanced manufacturing as process and production technicians, industrial machinery mechanics, quality assurance technicians, programmable logic control technicians and operators, and industrial engineering technicians.

The program focuses on broad, transferable skills and stresses understanding and demonstration of the following elements of engineering technology and industrial applications: production materials and processes, quality, electronics, mechanics, robotics applications, hydraulics/pneumatics, instrumentation and safety. Laboratory investigations benefit all students by developing the skills required to manage, operate, calibrate, and troubleshoot equipment and tools used to make observations.

Certified Production Technician Training Program
This 80-hour contact course focuses on the core skills and knowledge needed by production workers in advanced manufacturing work environments. The course prepares participants to take the four Manufacturing Skill Standards Council (MSSC) Certified Production Technician (CPT) certification examinations. Each participant is provided with access to online learning materials and trains in a state of the art production simulation lab located on the Palatka campus.

Topics covered:
Workplace essentials
Safety Awareness
Production and Processes
Maintenance Awareness
Quality

Up to 15 college credits may be awarded toward the Engineering Technology A.S. degree for passage of the CPT exams. This is equivalent to one full-time semester of college.

Classes are scheduled to meet industry demand.

FLEET READINESS CENTER SOUTHEAST APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM

The program serves as a model college-industry partnership.
Apprentices attend college courses at St. Johns River State College, and on the job training at Naval Air Station (NAS) Jacksonville. Upon completion of the program, students will earn a college credit certificate in Engineering Technology Support Specialist.

The apprentice program involves four (4) years of intensive training in one of the below skilled trades:

  • Aircraft Electricians
  • Aircraft Engine Mechanics
  • Electronics Mechanics
  • Painters
  • Sheet Metal Mechanics

Upon being selected for the Program, apprentices are hired into permanent, full-time Federal Civil Service (Civilian) positions associated with maintenance and repair of military aircraft.
