“Anything that is built, a machinist has helped produce. Machinist jobs are not going away; they are simply changing. Our students are people who want to work with their hands and their minds. Our program at Anoka Technical College will turn these students into crafts people who respond to changes in industry demand and get the job done right.”

Jerry ShowalterMachine Trades Instructor28 Years of Experience

“Architectural and Construction programs provide the skills and the understanding of technology required to excel in the design-construction industry. This training prepares students to be in-demand employees and ultimately makes any business that employs them, and in many cases their own businesses, better and more cost effective.”

Jay Boyle, Registered ArchitectArchitectural Construction Technology Instructor 7 Years of Industry Experience and 22 Years of Teaching Experience

The machinist program here is excellent. I have learned everything from running manual equipment to programming multi-axis CNC machines. I like the hands-on program, and how it prepares you to become a great employee, a problem-solver and a trouble shooter.

Engineering, Manufacturing and TechnologyPeople in engineering, manufacturing and technology trades make the world go around. These jobs build the infrastructure and the tools to build the infrastructure that keep society working.

Architecture and ConstructionArchitectural Technology graduates are skilled in drafting and detailing, and emerging technologies such as energy-efficient design, and Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD).

Construction Estimating graduates have the skills to estimate building materials to save money and keep businesses competitive. Training in plan reading, construction materials, project scheduling, AutoCAD and computer applications make graduates attractive employees.

Construction Electrician graduates have complete knowledge of electrical codes, theory, materials and the skills to install and troubleshoot equipment and controls, assemble, install and test fixtures, apparatus and wiring.

Electronic Engineering Technology Designed by industry leaders, Electronic Engineering Technology (EET) program graduates have the technical knowledge and practical experience for careers in electronics, automation and controls, computer servicing/networking, medical equipment servicing and engineering.

Machine Trades Machine Trades graduates are skilled metal workers who produce metal parts by using machine tools, hand tools and computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines, working in machine shops, tool rooms and factories.

Mechanical Drafting and Design Mechanical Drafting and Design Technology graduates are prepared for careers in a variety of companies that design and manufacture hard goods products. Many mechanical drafters begin as detail drafters. Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) is one of the first steps in the manufacturing process.

Welding

Welding is the most common way to permanently join metal parts. Welding has a direct impact on everything we see, touch or use in our daily lives. Welding plays a key role in industry production lines, laboratories, research and development, national defense, sales and service, NASCAR and Drag racing, custom motorcycle building, artwork, sculptures, pipelines, power plants, refineries, construction of many kinds and maintenance.

Ashley FaschingConstruction ElectricianDiploma

When I began the Construction Electrician program at Anoka Tech I didn’t know much about the field. But from the very first day, the atmosphere was fun and easy going. All of the instructors were easy to get along with and willing to answer questions. Most women may think that the guys would give you a hard time since you are outnumbered, but it was just the opposite. I really got along with all of my classmates. The class sizes were small and easy to follow, and there was a lot of hands-on projects and materials to work with. The program was a great investment for me and I can’t wait to get to work!

Understanding AwardsA certificate is awarded for completion of a program designed for less than one year. It is awarded to students demonstrating mastery of skills and knowledge in a specific area or discipline. A certificate may stand alone or transfer into a related diploma or associate in applied science program.

A diploma is awarded for completion of a program taking at least one, but up to two years. It is awarded to students demonstrating competency in an occupational field and is designed to lead to employment and/or to transfer into a related associate in applied Science (AAS) degree.

An associate in applied science (AAS) degree is awarded for completion of a program with 60 to 72 credits that generally takes two years. Coursework is primarily designed to lead directly to employment and includes general education courses. Some credits earned may transfer into a four-year degree program.
