Advanced Manufacturing
Categories
CNC Machining
Precision Machining
Description
The Advanced Manufacturing program provides the knowledge and skills for students to design and create products for the manufacturing industry. Students will use MASTERCAM CAD/CAM software to operate multi-axis numerical control machines. Training will utilize manufacturing related math, industry blueprint reading, CAD geometry, CAM tool paths, precision measurement, machine setup and operation, and quality control procedures. Students can further pursue the creation of detailed industry standard blueprints from 3-D solid models, as well as work with metal processes.
Skill Sets
At the completion of the Advanced Manufacturing Program, the successful student will be able to:
- Demonstrate the ability to identify, think critically, formulate, and present creative solutions in the design and completion of projects
- Demonstrate effective oral, written, and graphical communication skills appropriate to the manufacturing industry
- Demonstrate basic and precision measurement methods and interpret information presented in graphs, charts, and blueprints
- Commit to the quality of results in project design and execution and demonstrate an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility related to their professional discipline
- Demonstrate the ability to be effective team members and leaders through displaying the capability to understand the value of diversity with groups and strategies for balancing group dynamics and process
- Communicate effectively
- Think logically and critically
