ABOUT THE MACHINING PROGRM:

The goal of this program is to prepare students for a career as a Precision Machinist whose primary responsibilities are to operate machine tools such as Mills, Lathes, Grinders, & CNC equipment according to blueprint specifications, while demonstrating strong academic and employability skills.

Precision Machining begins in the classroom with a focus on equipment and safety regulations, and it introduces the employability and applied academic skills that are incorporated throughout all courses in the program. After students master the classroom introduction and safety test, they will move to the machine shop for hands on training, including projects to prepare for future employment.

The Precision Machining Program is a 1500-hour, 1.5 year program that consists of four courses. Some basic skills and knowledge from the first course, Machinist Helper, must be completed first. From there, students will take course segments from the Machinist Helper and Machine Operator courses, so as to maximize usage of shop equipment and shop floor space. Then, students move to training in CAD, CNC operation and CNC programming, as well as more complex machining skills and setup work.
