Graduates of the Blueprint Reading basic certificate program will have the opportunity to study a range of manufacturing-related disciplines that will prepare the student for continuing employment in a wide range of manufacturing-based positions. As new manufacturing technologies are incorporated into the workplace, it will be necessary for the worker to possess a more complete understanding of blueprint reading. Job opportunities will exist in the fields of machine operation, tool and die making, inspection, assembly, computer numerical control (CNC) technology, industrial purchasing and procurement, welding, and other jobs related to manufacturing. All of the classes required for the Blueprint Reading certificate also will benefit the student in working toward the existing TE550 and TE600 degrees, as well as the TE610 , TE615 , and TE350 certificates.
