Overview

Students will learn to operate and perform basic maintenance on manufacturing tools including CNC machines, robotic systems, and production line machinery. The curriculum also covers essential quality control practices using calipers, micrometers, and gauges, along with interpreting technical drawings to ensure product specifications are met.

In addition, students will explore lean manufacturing principles such as waste reduction, 5S, and continuous improvement, and apply basic problem-solving methods like root cause analysis. Workplace safety and OSHA standards are also emphasized, including proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) in a manufacturing setting.
