Parent/Guardian Understanding of RCC’s Technical Standards *

We ask that all students meet the Technical Standards listed on each of the RCC college coursework program pages. Read the Technical Standards below and click to agree that you meet these essential functions (or are capable of learning them). If you do not meet the requirements, speak to your school's CDC regarding alternative options. The Manufacturing Technology curriculum is designed to prepare students through the study and application of the principles for developing, implementing and improving integrated system involving people, materials, equipment and information as leaders in an industrial or manufacturing setting. To effectively train Manufacturing Technology professionals, the performance of certain functions is incorporated throughout the program. Faculty and students are required to demonstrate proficiency of these functions in the Manufacturing Technology program. The essential functions include: 1 Repairing: Repairing machines or systems using the needed tools. Example is using a wrench. 2 Equipment Maintenance: Performing routine maintenance on equipment and determining when and what kind of maintenance is needed. Example is scheduled preventive maintenance. 3 Troubleshooting: Determining causes of operating errors and deciding what to do about it. Example is examining and finding the cause of the problem. 4 Critical Thinking: Using logic and reasoning to identify the strengths and weaknesses of alternative solutions, conclusions or approaches to problems. Example is to determine the necessary steps to solving the problem. 5 Equipment Selection: Determining the kind of tools and equipment needed to do a job. Example is when do you use a screw driver and when do you use a hammer. 6 Operation Monitoring: Watching gauges, dials, or other indicators to make sure a machine is working properly. Example is observing the operation of a machine during a normal operation. 7 Reading Comprehension: Understanding written sentences and paragraphs in work related documents. Example is reading a technical manual. 8 Reaction Time: The ability to quickly respond (with the hand, finger, or foot) to a signal (sound, light, picture) when it appears. Example is to be able to watch and monitor the working of a proximity switch in a PLC. 9 Control Precision: The ability to quickly and repeatedly adjust the controls of a machine or a vehicle to exact positions. Example is being able to align a shift to where it needs to be at the start of an operation. 10 Manual Dexterity: The ability to quickly move your hand, your hand together with your arm, or your two hands to grasp, manipulate, or assemble objects. Example is to be able to rebuild a solenoid valve. 11 Arm-Hand Steadiness: The ability to keep your hand and arm steady while moving your arm or while holding your arm and hand in one position. Example is the ability to change bearings in a piece equipment. 12 Finger Dexterity: The ability to make precisely coordinated movements of the fingers of one or both hands to grasp, manipulate, or assemble very small objects. Example is to be able to start a nut on a screw. 13 Near Vision: The ability to see details at close range (within a few feet of the observer). Example is watching the Input/Output numbers on a PLC. 14 Hearing Sensitivity: The ability to detect or tell the differences between sounds that vary in pitch and loudness. Example is to be able to listen to a motor and determine if it is running properly. 15 Information Ordering: The ability to arrange things or actions in a certain order or pattern according to a specific rule or set of rules (e.g., patterns of numbers, letters, words, pictures, mathematical operations). Example is reading a set of blueprints. 16 Multi-Limb Coordination: The ability to coordinate two or more limbs (for example, two arms, two legs, or one leg and one arm) while sitting, standing, or lying down. It does not involve performing the activities while the whole body is in motion. Example is the ability to change out a motor that has been determined to be bad. 17 Problem Sensitivity: The ability to tell when something is wrong or is likely to go wrong. It does not involve solving the problem, only recognizing there is a problem. Example is to be able to determine a problem is present in an operation of a machine. EXAMPLES ARE NOT ALL INCLUSIVE.

Parent/Guardian Assumption of Risk for Students *

If my son/daughter is invited to attend, you release Apprenticeship Randolph and Randolph Community College from any liability or claims in relation to attending in person events or programs. Because COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is spread mainly from person-to-person contact, AR and RCC have put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19. However, AR nor RCC can guarantee that its participants, volunteers, partners, or others in attendance will not become infected with COVID-19 or other infectious diseases.
