NTC Assessments Offered:

Industry 4.0 Fundamentals (10664112)

1.00

Introduces the concepts of Industry 4.0 and the key aspects that workers will need to be prepared for in the intelligent factory setting. Robotic automation, smart manufacturing, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) concepts will be explored.

Industrial Internet Of Things (10664113)

1.00

Focuses on the interconnected systems utilized in industrial applications that can proactively communicate improvements in productivity and efficiency. Focus on configuring and Implementing smart sensors, gather configured data from PLC controllers to provide the ability for data collections will be studied. Other topics will include, identifying the correct hardware, installation and wiring, sensor configuration and control.

Simulation And AI (10664117)

1.00

Explores the Artificial Intelligence available in the world today and discusses how it has helped. We will look at modern A.I. (cell phones, televisions, internet companies, automotive applications and others) to see how it is already a part of everyday life. Autonomous robots will be controlled and reviewed to discover their capabilities. We will then utilize Oculus technology to review training options (fire extinguisher training, Lockout/tagout training). Microsoft Halolens units will be used to create mixed reality scenarios for class work and possible workplace training integration. 3D modeling will be used to develop simulations that will allow students to experience work that might not be conducive to our lab or too dangerous for us to do in the lab setting.
