Boat Manufacturing & Service
Program Overview
The Boat Manufacture and Service Technology program prepares students for employment in the manufacture and service of boats. Students learn the basics of boat design and the implementation of those designs in various components and/or complete boats or yachts.
Course work includes reading and interpreting marine blueprints, manuals, and other documents common to the industry; lofting; constructing forms and mold-making; application of concepts and techniques in composite, and fiberglass; marine woodworking; interior finishing; and marine mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.
Graduates may find employment with boat/yacht manufacturers, service yards, dealerships doing commissioning work, and companies doing custom boat building.
Diploma - Composite Boat
Diploma programs are designed to provide focused, entry-level training that can typically be completed in about one (1) year. These programs may stand alone or be structured within an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree pathway. This allows students to enter the workforce quickly or continue their studies by completing additional coursework to earn a full AAS degree.
