| | Manufacturing Design provides intermediate-level training in Manufacturing occupations. Building on previous skills acquired in Induction to Innovation and Product Design, students will gain the skills to earn industry credentials from the National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS) on the vertical milling machine and lathe. They will also receive an introduction to Computer-Aided Design (CAD) via Solid-works and Computer Aided Machining (CAM). Employment possibilities include welder, fabricator, machine operator and beginning machinist. Instruction covers the following areas: safety in the workplace, precision measurement, vertical MIG, Arc, Oxy-Act, and Flux-cored, and TIG welding, Oxy-Fuel cutting, layout and design, grinding/finishing, tool making and sharpening, sawing/cutting, threading, drill presses, press brake, sheet metal, forge, fabrication, lathe, vertical mill, and Computer Numeric Controlled machining. Print reading, technical math instruction and an introduction to Computer Assisted Design/Computer Assisted Machine systems are also included. Students use equipment such as measuring and layout tools, welding and metalworking machines, drill presses, saws, lathes, vertical mills and computer numerical controlled machines. |
