Academic Degrees

AzAMI academic degrees equip employees with technical, employability and academic skill sets that our industry partners and advisory boards have identified as critical to success. Many of our degrees transfer to bachelor’s programs, encouraging students and employees to continue building stackable credentials in their education pathways.

Certificates that Validate Skills

At AzAMI, we design responsive, flexible and on-site programs that will build and strengthen the emerging technical skill sets of our students – your current and future employees – leading to industry, academic, stackable, and competency-based certifications.

Industry Certification Boot Camps

AzAMI has designed short-term, certification Boot Camps for skilled technicians with pre-assessed competencies to help them obtain the recognized industry credentials required in specific technical areas. These credit-bearing Boot Camps increase their employability with job-readiness certifications and the validation of skills and abilities required by many employees.

Internships and Apprenticeships to Earn as you Learn

Our industry partnerships offer hands-on learning opportunities for students through a variety of on-the-job training experience through internships, job shadowing, mentoring, apprenticeships and career planning resources to recruit and educate the next generation of manufacturers.

Additive Manufacturing

AzAMI has developed the capacity to offer 3D printing processes with a certification in our drafting program. We focus on Fused Deposition Modeling. The FDM machines on campus mirror those used in industry with the capability to print using over 11 types of thermoplastics, including aerospace materials. MCC also has 3D scanning capabilities which allow reverse engineering of existing parts as well as for Metrology (parts inspection and validation).
