Job Requirements
Quality Assurance (general): Technical report writing, excellent
class, difficult for many but rewarding to me. I found my niche.
Metallurgy, difficult but very benificial to the nature of my
work. ISO, QS9000, the backbone to a good quality system, a good
common knowledge course. Mathematics (advanced) just a course
that was mandatory. Statistical process control, a difficult
course, instructor was very theoretical, he should have
introduced students to variety of computer programs available.
Blueprint reading, very beneficial, good instructor who conveyed
his knowledge well. All courses were mandatory, grading was very
fair and the workload was: 35 hours in class, 20 to 40 hours
homework.
