Automation Technicians repair and maintain computer-controlled systems, as well as troubleshoot and repair a wide variety of industrial instrumentation.

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) operators use computer-programmed machines to manufacture precision parts for a variety of different products. The machines drill, cut and shape the raw materials into metal and plastic parts.

Electricians install, maintain, and repair electrical power, communications, lighting, and control systems in homes, businesses, and factories.

Machinists create their own parts and tools from raw materials. The parts and tools they create with their machines eventually go toward building larger things.

Tool and die makers are a class of machinists who use computer-aided design and computer-controlled machinery to make and repair specialized parts such as dies, cutting tools, and gauges.
