Manufacturing Basics 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. In response to needs identified by SUNY CCC’s Workforce Education personnel who are interfacing with local industry supplying technical training. This microcredential is the starting point for someone who is interested in manufacturing and machining.

The Manufacturing Basics Microcredential is 11 credits and comprised of the following courses.

MATH 1230: Elements of Applied Mathematics I (3 cr.)

Primarily for students enrolled in the technology programs. Problems in science and engineering are stressed. First semester includes algebraic operations review, functions and graphs, trigonometric functions and graphs, vectors and oblique triangles. A graphing calculator is required; Texas Instruments TI-83 or TI-84 recommended. Cannot receive credit for this course if previously received credit for MATH 1215-1225. Prerequisite: MATH 0980 or placement.

TECH 1030: Manufacturing Methods (3 cr.)

A study of the machines and methods by which various materials are formed into useful products. Topics will include principles of manufacturing, materials used in manufacturing, conventional and non-traditional processes, forming, joining and assembling, finishing operations, CIM and the future technology of manufacturing. Prerequisites: Eligible to enroll in ENGL 1010.

MACH 1040: Precision Machining I (5 cr.)

Use of hand tools to produce layouts and objects. Theory and practice of grinding tool bits, turning, facing, taper turning, boring and thread cutting on lathe and drill sharpening.
