CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT

The Certificate of Achievement in Composite Inspection allows the student to learn basic composite fabrication, processing, dimensioning, tolerancing, testing, measuring, and computer assisted inspecting, in the MTT and ENGT departments. The student is able to benefit from the cooperation of those three departments to get the best possible knowledge of composite inspection. Students who complete this certificate are well positioned for both composite and plastic projects inspection.
