Microcredentials are academic programs that provide individuals with valuable experience, skills, and knowledge in highly demanding fields. These programs can be completed within a few months and can be combined to contribute towards a certificate or full degree. Whether aspiring to advance or acquire new capabilities, microcredentials are an excellent means of achieving new skills.

AMES-2 is intended to follow AMES-1 and provides thirty-four hours of instruction. With twenty-eight hours of online training and six hours of lab work, this program covers courses such as Mathematics for Technicians, Intro to Advanced Manufacturing, and Lean Manufacturing.

Course Objectives – Students satisfactorily completing this course will:

  • Work with formulas and conversions, and apply mechanical principles
  • Determine how to list, identify, and describe the variety of lines found on blueprints
  • Learn the foundation of knowledge and skill in performing measurements and calculations
  • Create, modify, operate, and observe simulated pneumatic and electro-pneumatic devices and circuits
  • Learn lubrication equipment, application methods, and periodic lubrication schedule
  • Examine a comprehensive overview of lean manufacturing concepts and techniques and simulated scenarios.

Microcredentials often combine courses from our registered degree programs, innovative applied learning experiences, preparation for industry certifications, and/or noncredit coursework.
