Manual Machinist Microcredential

Stackable to Degree Program

This microcredential aligns with requirements for the Machine Tool Technology, A.A.S. degree should students choose to continue their education after obtaining the microcredential.

Microcredential Outline

There is a need for the availability of shorter non-degree credentials in the Machining discipline. The purpose for the microcredential is to build on the skills gained with the Manufacturing Basic Microcredential and give the student a more involved background and skill set in reading and generating detailed CAD drawings used in manufacturing as well as more advanced manual machining skills.

This curriculum was designed and was approved by SUNY CCC governance.

The Manual Machinist Microcredential is 8 credits and comprised of the following courses.
