The AIR Center – A Modern Manufacturing Environment
We officially welcomed the first class of students into the Automation, Innovation and Robotics (AIR) Center in 2024. This new space allows for collaboration across multiple manufacturing programs and prepares students for an exciting career in modern manufacturing.
As the manufacturing industry quickly changes, companies are using advanced technologies and automation to improve their operations. To keep up, they need a skilled workforce with knowledge in areas like manufacturing processes, quality control, data collection and analysis, and how to bring all these parts together into a cohesive system.
The Quality and Advanced Manufacturing Technology program teaches the latest manufacturing technologies in advanced labs like Moraine Park’s new AIR Center in Fond du Lac. New manufacturing facilities will also open on the West Bend Campus in 2025.
These targeted investments in modern spaces and equipment prepare students to adapt to the latest technology and industry trends. They allow students to focus on problem-solving, teamwork, and automated manufacturing skills required for well-paying engineering technician, robotics, and quality assurance careers.
Potential careers include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Engineering Technician
- Continuous Improvement Technician
- Quality Assurance Technician
- Process Engineering Technician
- Manufacturing Engineering Technician
