Industrial Technology Certificate

Semester Hours: 18
Effective Term: Fall 2019

Prerequisites: None
Corequisites: None

Program Description: The Industrial Technology Certificate provides students the opportunity to gain knowledge, skills, and an understanding of the concepts and applications of industrial technology. Upon completion of the certificate, students will have the abilities and skills needed to support employment in the manufacturing technology industry. The certificate was developed in cooperation with automated manufacturing industries.

Recommended Proficiencies: Ability to be a tactile learner, and willingness to work in a repetitive environment.
