Precision Manufacturing & Machining Technology-Machinists | Tool and Die Makers

This program includes instruction and practice in manufacturing techniques and processes, including standard conventional machining, computer-numerical-control machining and computer-aided drafting and manufacturing (CAD/CAM). Also included are topics related to the fundamentals of manufacturing, such as blueprint reading, precision layout, maintenance and various calculations used in industry. Students will develop skill sets that are valued by manufacturers nationwide and validated by national accrediting agencies such as the National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS) and the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM). The curriculum was developed by utilizing the national industry standards for machining skills as developed and approved by the NIMS. Outcomes are competency-based and measured in accordance with NIMS national standards and competencies. Completion of each course provides students with the necessary competencies to obtain stackable credentials as they progress through the program
