Advanced Manufacturing Technology
The Advanced Manufacturing Technology program provides students with foundation-level skills and knowledge in preparation for sustained careers in manufacturing. Courses are project-based, providing students with hands-on learning experiences and understanding of the integration of processes, materials, tools, techniques, relationships, and interpersonal skills in the manufacturing environment. Upon successful completion of all program requirements, students will have earned an MSCC Certificate of Proficiency in Advanced Manufacturing Technology. Courses will also apply toward the Technical Certificate and AAS Degree in Advanced Manufacturing Technology at Mid-South Community College.
