Metrology Certificate

The Metrology Certificate Program covers various aspects of the manufacturing processes which has an emphasis on dimensional metrology, inspection reporting, mechanical part geometry and computer-assisted inspection. Metrology is crucial that actual employment functions of performing measurement activities are completed with no errors. Measurement and metrology procedures are utilized to ensure that parts and components are manufactured as engineers intended for parts and assemblies to work correctly and not fail.

Upon completion of the program students will be able to:

• Employ basic and automated measurement tools to perform inspections.
• Perform simple calculations for unit conversions and to obtain final values from Blueprints for inspection reports.
• Complete a simple Inspection Report utilizing basic measurement tools and drawings.
• Demonstrate an understanding of the ANSI Y14.5 standard and how it is applicable to inspection processes.
