About the Advanced Manufacturing program:
Advanced Manufacturing focuses on learning and setting up the operation of various manual machines. Students learn to build different machine parts using modern manufacturing processes.
The classroom is designed as a factory setting – ranging from creating a drawing to ordering parts, manufacturing, inspection, assembling and marketing.
Students will gain knowledge in understanding process engineering, basic tool design and quality control.
Many aspects are formatted under ISO 9001 (a blueprint format used in airspace engineering). Students use CNC machines, vertical milling machine, manual lathes, cutter grinders, OD grinding, broaching and optical comparators.
Students will graduate and earn skills in the areas of entry-level machinist, inspection and working in a manufacturing environment.
More about the Advanced Manufacturing program:
In this two-year program, students learn how to operate, set up and program CNC lathe machines, vertical milling machines, manual lathes, cutter grinders, OD grinders, broach cutters and optical comparators.
Upon completion of this program, students will earn skills in the areas of entry-level machinist, inspection and working in a manufacturing environment. Students wishing to further their education can pursue fields within engineering programs and earn college credits through prearranged articulation agreements.
