Precision Machining Technology III
The demand for precision machinists is growing along with the resurgence of the U.S. manufacturing industry. Machinists are highly skilled, creative problem solvers who are task-oriented and self-directed individuals. In this course, students build skills in safety, measurement techniques, and general maintenance. Students will examine CNC machining technology and software; use engineering drawings for CNC machining; perform setup operations; and program, plan, and manage CNC machining jobs. Students will also explore multi-axis CNC machining, heat-treatment processes, and automation.
Contextual instruction and student participation in co-curricular career and technical student organization (CTSO) activities will develop leadership, interpersonal, and career skills. High-quality work-based learning (HQWBL) will provide experiential learning opportunities related to students' career goals and/or interests, integrated with instruction, and performed in partnership with local businesses and organizations.
