The Manufacturing Sector Development Program at NMSU-C offers a two-year Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree in Manufacturing Technology with two options that share a common core curriculum. Both options are designed to prepare the graduate to work as an entry-level technician in the construction, manufacturing, and mining industries. Course electives are factored into each of these options to permit the student to focus on planning and scheduling, drafting, design, or production operations within the degree. 

The following topics are key components of the program:

• Computer-Assisted Drafting, Computer Aided Manufacturing and Computer Numerically Controlled Systems (CAD/CAM/CNC).

• Materials Management, Planning, Control and Handling Systems.

• Computer Integrated Production equipment for metalworking, plastics and electronics skills training.

• Precision Measuring Equipment with associated computer-based Quality Assurance and Systems.
