Industry Certifications

 

The technical core of the PSC Engineering Technology program aligns with the nationally recognized "Certified Production Technician" (CPT) industry certification from the Manufacturing Skill Standards Council (MSSC). After completing this core students will be prepared to take the four MSSC assessments for the CPT certification.

Manufacturing Skill Standards Council 

MSSC certification is designed to validate that any individual with the certification has the technical, employability, and academic skills needed to work in modern manufacturing. To ensure the integrity of the certification, rigorous assessment is also part of the fabric of MSSC. The CPT certification covers MSSC’s four core competency areas:

  • Manufacturing Processes and Production
  • Maintenance Awareness
  • Quality and Continuous Improvement
  • Safety

Students that have already earned an MSSC CPT certification will receive 15 articulated credit hours toward the 60 credit hour degree. MSSC CPT articulated credits apply to the following specific courses:

  • ETI 1420 Manufacturing Processes and Materials
  • EET 1083 Introduction to Electronics
  • ETI 1110 Introduction to Quality
  • ETI 1701 Industrial Safety
  • ETM 1010C Mechanical Measurements and Instrumentation

If you are a PSC student wishing to obtain the articulated college credit for the MSSC CPT certification, bring your original MSSC CPT certification to any of PSC's academic advisors. They will verify your credential and then have the credits applied to your academic transcript.
