Abstract
This resource contains the course outlines for the one-quarter, four-course Fundamental Skills for Manufacturing and Engineering (FSME) Certificate Program offered at Clover Park Technical College, Lakewood, Washington. The FSME certificate provides students with a foundational set of skills and background knowledge that equips them for entry-level positions in manufacturing or to continue technical studies in a field such as Mechatronics Technician.
Students learn about occupational safety and health in an applied engineering workshop. They also learn how to interpret manufacturing drawings and schematics; how to take measurements and analyze data; the properties of common materials used in manufacturing; and the quality principles and terminology employed in modern industry.
Basic workshop skills needed to fabricate parts and structures are also covered, and students are introduced to more advanced manufacturing and engineering fabrication techniques including welding, the use of machine tools, composites, and electrical wiring.
