Advanced Manufacturing is a critical sector of Tennessee’s economy. There are a lot of available jobs in manufacturing fields, which means you'll be setting yourself up for almost certain job security. Do you enjoy finding out how things work? Have you ever taken something apart just to put it back together again? Do friends and family come to you for technology troubleshooting? If so, you may have a future in advanced manufacturing.
Compared to the national rate of 5.2 percent, job creation in Tennessee is soaring in manufacturing fields, accounting for $30.2 billion in manufactured goods exported every year and a nine percent overall increase over the last four years.
Engineering and Design
Engineering and Design
Engineering and Design provides students with interactive, analytical thinking scenarios that will prepare them for an ever-changing world. Given the critical nature of much of the work in this cluster, job possibilities abound even in times of economic downturn. More scientists, technologists, and engineers will be needed to meet environmental regulations and to develop methods of cleaning up existing hazards.
