Course Description:

This course is designed to give the student a basic knowledge of the operational controls, setup techniques and concepts of Bridgeport milling machines, engine lathes and surface grinding equipment and an introduction to manufacturing processes and technology and how they are used in the machine tool industry. The student will be given a series of projects that will address all the competencies involved with conventional machines and processes used in the machine tool industry. Manufacturing concepts will include job planning, blueprint interpretation, math, science, and language arts skills to produce each class project and project summary. This is the first of three, year long, machine tool technology courses that will prepare the student for a challenging career in the machine tool industry as a machinist, tool and die maker, C.N.C. machinist or programmer and will prepare the student to pass a National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS) Assessment Test in conventional machine tool technology. It is a yearlong course presented in a 3 period block. This course is recommended for all students who wish to pursue further study at the post secondary level or enter the career field.
