Industry 4.0 Manufacturing

Prepare for the future of manufacturing with hands‑on, industry‑driven training. Choose from two certificate pathways — Industrial Automation and Smart Manufacturing — each built from four micro‑courses that combine flexible online learning with in‑person lab experience.

MU’s Industry 4.0 program features eight redesigned micro‑courses, organized into two stackable noncredit Vice Chancellor certificate pathways: Industrial Automation and Smart Manufacturing. Each certificate is earned by completing four micro‑courses.

Learners may take any micro‑course as a stand‑alone training or complete all four to earn the full certificate.
