Metrology Certificate
Division: Technology and Engineering
PROGRAM CODE: 2C37762
The Metrology Certificate covers various aspects of the manufacturing processes which has an emphasis on dimensional metrology, inspection reporting, mechanical part geometry and computer-assisted inspection. The goal of the Metrology Certificate Program is to prepare students for entry to intermediate level employment in the inspection, Quality Assurance and/or manufacturing field. Students entering this field typically find work in the manufacturing industry or with governmental agencies. The Metrology Certificate is also designed to enhance the skills of individuals already in the inspection, Quality Assurance and/or the manufacturing field that have a desire to learn more about measurement tools in the manufacturing trade. The Metrology Certificate Program requires the completion of 29 units with a grade of C or better in each course taken. At least one half of the units toward the certificate must be completed at Fullerton College.
