Additive
manufacturing is certainly an area of growth where customization allows for
design flexibility and speed to market. Composite manufacturers are also seeing
resurgence because of the need to create lighter and more efficient materials.
Energy-related jobs will also be in the forefront because of the need for
energy independence.
Additive manufacturing is described as the industrial
version of 3-D printing, and is known as ‘additive’ because it builds an object
by using ultrathin layers of material one by one. Additive manufacturing cuts the cost of
tooling and materials: a piece can have all of its holes incorporated into it,
with great precision, as it is built up from powder, instead of needing to have
them expensively drilled afterwards.
Key benefits of additive manufacturing are: shorter lead
times, mass customization, reduced parts count, more complex shapes, parts on
demand, less material waste, and lower life-cycle energy use.

 The automotive service and repair industry has gone through
several changes in the last ten years. Working on the cars and light trucks of
today require a serious understanding of the technologies that are part of the
modern, sophisticated automobile. This increased amount of technology explains
the importance of program reviews, updates, and revisions. Automotive service
technology programs need to stay current to properly educate technicians to
meet industry standards. That also reinforces the importance of accreditation
for automotive programs.
Starting fall 2014 semester, Delta College will be offering
two new Automotive Service Technology programs which allow students to gain the
technical training required to successfully complete the following goals:
- MLR Level
automotive service internship
- ASE G1
Certification Test
- AST Level
automotive service internship
- ASE A1-A8
Technician Certification Tests
These programs meet industry standards and will be evaluated
every five years by the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation
(NATEF). The programs include new AUTO classes based on NATEF task lists in all
eight Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) areas. Classes are taught through
classroom and hands-on lab experiences.
- Automotive
Service Technology – Associate in Applied Science
- Automotive
Service Technology – Advanced Certificate
In addition to being trained to enter the automotive field
as a technician or service writer, you will have a broader based education by
completing the associate degree. You may also choose to continue your education
by seeking a baccalaureate degree.
