Introduction
This program prepares individuals with the technical knowledge and skills to use machine tools that are either conventionally controlled or computer numerically controlled, such as lathes and milling machines, to produce precision parts. The curriculum is designed to provide broad multi-disciplinary instruction in blueprint reading; machining; lathe and mill operations; liberal arts, applied mathematics; computers; Computer-Aided Design/Machining (CAD/CAM) systems; Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) setup, programming, operations, and troubleshooting; shop and safety practices; equipment capabilities; and regulations and laws.
Students must wear the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) approved work boots or shoes with toe protection, and OSHA approved safety glasses while working in the lab.
Students who complete the Associate in Applied Science Degree in Precision Machining Technology will be able to:
Recognize and apply appropriate machining terminology in a variety of manufacturing settings
Utilize technical knowledge and skills during the fabrication of precision parts.
Demonstrate responsible and ethical safety practices in a manufacturing environment.
Recognize the value of diversity in opinions, values, abilities, and colleagues' cultures and clients in a manufacturing environment.
Demonstrate accuracy in measurements and calculations required to produce precision parts.
Describe and apply quality control techniques and strategies to a wide range of manufacturing procedures.
Produce precision parts using a variety of computer-controlled and manually controlled machine tools.
Machinists set up and operate various computer-controlled or manually-controlled machine tools to produce precision parts, instruments, and tools. Positions may include machine operators, machinist or CNC machinist CAD modeller, and CNC programmer.
