Manufacturing Foundations

Manufacturing Foundations courses at ALIC are designed to equip learners with essential skills and knowledge required for success in modern manufacturing environments. Through three comprehensive courses – Practical Math for Manufacturing, Blueprint Reading and Tolerancing, Industrial Electrical Systems – students gain hands-on experience and foundational understanding in key technical areas. They learn to solve real-world math problems using geometry, algebra, and trigonometry, interpret industry-relevant blueprints, and understand and troubleshoot electrical systems.

Upon completion, students will be able to confidently read technical drawings, perform accurate measurements and calculations, construct and evaluate basic electrical circuits, and identify and mitigate workplace hazards. The program emphasizes applied learning through projects and labs, ensuring learners can transfer classroom knowledge directly to the shop floor. Whether entering the manufacturing workforce or advancing within it, students will leave with a strong, practical foundation and the confidence to operate safely and effectively in a variety of industrial settings.
