What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Associate's Degree)

  • Electromechanical system performance — evaluate using oscilloscopes, bridges, and electronic voltmeters with minimal oversight during scheduled production testing cycles.
  • Electrical, electronic, and mechanical components — modify, maintain, or repair to restore proper functioning in response to standard fault conditions on the shop floor.
  • Assembly sequences — determine independently by reading blueprints and wiring diagrams for moderately complex subassemblies in a manufacturing or field-service environment.
  • Instrumentation software — install and configure in microprocessor-based control systems following vendor documentation and established site procedures.
  • Component dimensions and clearances — verify using precision measuring tools and document results against engineering tolerances in a quality-control workflow.
  • Soldered electrical connections — produce and inspect to IPC or equivalent workmanship standards while assembling units in a mid-volume production environment.
  • Equipment malfunctions — troubleshoot using systematic diagnostic methods, applying deductive reasoning to isolate faults in electromechanical assemblies.
  • CAD and analytical software — use to review design drawings and interpret test data when supporting engineering changes on existing equipment.
  • Quality control analyses — perform on completed assemblies, identifying out-of-tolerance conditions and initiating corrective action through established reporting channels.
  • Maintenance records and technical reports — write accurately to document repair actions, parts used, and test results in a department database or ERP system.
