QUALITY SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY
South Campus
The Quality Systems Technology program provides a strong background in measurement tools and management systems. It offers maximum flexibility reflecting the needs and backgrounds of individual students. It will provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to be successfully employed, transfer to a bachelor degree program, and become certified through the American Society for Quality (ASQ). National, international, and industry standards are used extensively. Hands-on training includes typical hand tools, the optical comparator, surface finish, surface plate layout, and coordinate measuring machines (CMM). Statistical process control (SPC), geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD & T), and course projects demonstrate competency. Management and system skills include project management, standards, costs, supply chain, continuous improvement, problem solving, leadership, and audits. Documentation, speaking, and writing simulate work situations and/or APA formatted reports. This program is excellent preparation for American Society for Quality (ASQ) certification. The ASQ student chapter offers many benefits. Several Skill Specific Certificates can be earned. This program will transfer to many universities for completion of a bachelor degree.
Program advisor Professor Carol Malone can be contacted at malonec@macomb.edu or 586.445.7435.
