Quality Control
New Program
Industrial Quality Control (095680)
03/01/22
The Laney College Quality Control Certificate of Achievement is a career technical education program that prepares students for work as a quality control (QC) technician or quality assurance (QA) technician. The certificate provides students with the theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills required for precision measurement of manufactured parts according to specifications in engineering drawings using hand tools and sophisticated modern equipment like coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). The coursework also covers technical mathematics and a survey of machining processes.

Program Proposal Attributes
- Certificate of Achievement: 16 or greater semester (or 24 or greater quarter) units (C)
Laney College offers a new series of courses in Quality Control. The Certificate of Achievement in Quality Control prepares students for a career in industry performing precision measurement operations using inspection tools and metrology equipment, including Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs). Our students are trained in print reading, dimensional metrology, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, quality assurance, technical mathematics, and basic precision machining processes. We do this by interpreting engineering drawings and using industrial tools to inspect real parts. We emphasize current technology and industry standards (ASME Y14.5).The ultimate goal is for graduates to serve as quality leaders in industry who can provide vital feedback in manufacturing processes to limit scrap and rework
