Cert in Manufacturing Engineering

Clark State College offers Manufacturing Foundations as a short-term technical certificate, a program centred on starting out in manufacturing. The college lists it in its program catalog with a summary of the credential type, campus locations, credit hours and an estimated cost. The credential totals 6 semester credit hours and is available at Springfield. Students interpret engineering prints, picture parts from drawings and sketch objects in several views and in three dimensions, and they study tolerancing of dimensions and shapes. Hands-on work with measuring tools such as calipers and micrometers is combined with computer-based inspection and introductory process control methods. The official program page lists the complete course plan and ways to apply, and prospective students are encouraged to confirm details with the college before they enroll.
