Description

This course introduces students to common tools and fundamental machine processes used in the precision machining trade. Students will learn basic machining principles, including safety and part set-ups through hands-on operation of conventional machine tools. Students will learn to read and interpret blueprints with an introduction to GD&T (Geometric Dimension & Tolerancing) symbols, in addition to planning the manufacturing process of a mechanical part. Students will learn common measuring tools used in quality inspection. The course will also expose students to mathematical applications commonly used in the precision machining trade. Beginning with basic math and advancing through transposition of formulas, calculating speeds and feed rates, proportions and ratios and concluding with an introduction to trigonometry. This course is aligned with National Institute of Metalworking Skills (NIMS) certification standards. Students will have the opportunity to earn NIMS certification(s).
