Program Summary

This new college credit certificate for Medical Device Manufacturing and Design is designed to provide students with skills to work for a medical device manufacturer. The recommendation for a new CCC is based on work done in partnership with the SPC Biomedical Engineering Technology advisory board. One of Nation’s largest concentrations of medical device companies is in Florida, which implies that many of these companies are constantly looking for new devices to add to the market. This CCC will provide manufacturers employees skilled in design, implementation, and risk analysis. The CCC could also benefit incumbent workers who want to expand their skills into device design and the certificate is financial aid eligible.
