Engineering Technology CurriculumAbstract Creation of micro-credentials in higher education allows practitioners to add a new skillfor career advancement or change, as well as working toward a degree by stacking them. After thecompletion of GE’s Wind Turbine Technical Training Program, Farmingdale State College facultycreated a " Wind Energy" micro-credential focused on Wind Turbine operation and design. Thisprogram covers an array of topics that mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering students cantake. While creating this micro-credential program, the College followed the success stories ofwind turbine professionals. Furthermore, Farmingdale State College was able to secure grants andbuild a state-of-the-art wind turbine technology
