Goal
GOAL 1 Students display general behavior and attitudes expected of an entry level production team member by a manufacturing, construction, agricultural or fabrication-oriented business. Upon completion of the degree, the student will be able to:
Learning Outcomes
1. Demonstrate positive attitudes and acceptable behaviors for such things as reporting to work regularly and on time, working in a team, honesty, quality-minded, and no tolerance for waste.
2. Follow all prescribed safety rules including the wearing of personal protection devices, properly using lifting tools to move equipment & supplies, following lockout/tagout procedures, and site specific requirements.
3. Use rulers, gauges, and precision measuring tools to properly identify sizes and locations of part features and sizes of welds.
4. In both written and oral communication, the student will communicate in a formal manner that expected of supervisors or mid-level managers.
