Precision Machining/CADD

PREREQUISITES: Integrated Math 1 and 2 with drafting recommended. Good attendance and a willingness to learn and explore is a must.

In Precision Machining/CADD students get hands on experience operating engine lathes, vertical milling machines, drill presses and surface grinders. They will learn about tomorrow's machine technology - technology like Computer Aided Drafting and Computer Numerical controlled machining and CADD Technology. In addition they will student the following related skills: precision measurement, materials testing, metallurgy, blueprint reading and applied shop mathematics. Along with the machining skills, students will get hands-on experience and work skills training in CAD 2007 and AutoDesk Inventor. They will learn to design, draw, dimension and plot industry quality prints using today's technology. When you combine the machining and the CAD, you will be using the skills engineer's of today use to solve problems. Dual credit of up to 6 credit hours at Ivy Tech Community College in the area of Machine Trades is available to students who qualify.
