Program Learning Outcomes
At the completion of this program, students will be able to:
- Identify and utilize a diverse array of hand tools and CNC machinery, demonstrating mastery in tool selection and application to accommodate various machining tasks and promote equitable access to resources.
- Distinguish between ferrous and non-ferrous materials through an analysis of their classifications and properties, applying this knowledge to select appropriate materials for specific machining applications while ensuring sustainable practices that consider the environmental and social impacts of material choices.
- Execute precision setup techniques, including indicating a machine head to the table within .0005" tolerance, and conduct thorough inspections using measurement tools to ensure adherence to quality standards, fostering an inclusive environment that values accuracy and accountability in all processes.
- Analyze and interpret features in orthographic multi-views, applying technical drawing standards, and develop or modify CNC programs using industry-standard software to optimize machining processes, while recognizing the diverse backgrounds and perspectives that inform innovative solutions.
- Promote principles of diversity, equity, anti-racism, and inclusion within the CNC machining field, acknowledging the importance of varied perspectives in enhancing collaboration, creativity, and innovation in manufacturing practices.
