About Advanced Manufacturing

In a nutshell, advanced manufacturing uses innovative technology to improve products or processes. But when you think of manufacturing, many picture dark factory floors and long assembly lines. The truth is—technology has given this industry a complete overhaul. From electronics and precision health-related machinery to nanotechnology and robotics, this sector creates some of the most innovative and technologically complex products in the world. 

 


Manufacturers do not seek workers who will complete repetitive and mindless tasks for hours on end; that’s what the machines are for! Instead, they seek problem solvers with technical skills and creative minds. Advanced manufacturing is well suited for those interested in math and science. The work is engaging and challenging. Every morning will present a new problem or puzzle to solve. As a top manufacturing city in the country, no other place will afford you the opportunities that Houston can.
