The course consists of seven online modules (34hrs) to be completed as a student’s schedule permits and 6 hours of scheduled lab time to complete final assessments.  Additional time outside of the classwork to complete homework and assignments may be necessary. 

Required Materials: All materials and Intelitek (online learning platform) will be provided by the college.

Students will complete multiple online assessments while progressing through the material. 
 
Two three-hour labs are combined for a one day lab on campus. Students are assessed in Mechanical Measurement and Fundamentals of Pneumatics.
 
Grading Scale: The course is pass/fail. Students must earn a grade of 70 or better in all seven module quizzes as well as labs to pass the course. 

Career Development Badge - Advanced Manufacturing Essential Skills - 2

The microcredential purpose and goal is to provide an opportunity for students to enhance and extend their academic experience by earning micro-credentials that verify, validate and attest that specific skills and/or competencies have been achieved.

Advanced Manufacturing Essentials Skills provide training that are responsive to the needs of the community, relevant to today’s changing marketplace and which provide pathways by seamlessly stacking into credentials, certificates and programs.
