CIP Code: 48.0501

Precision Machine Technology includes a wide range of classroom and laboratory experiences

that develop skills and knowledge in the shaping of metal parts. Emphasis is placed on basic

precision machining operations including the use of lathes, drill presses, and grinders, in

addition to mill and bench work. Instruction includes the use and care of other precision tools

such as micrometers, indicators, combination squares, scales, and calipers. Advanced

instruction should include preparation in the use of Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC)

machines that reflect current industry practices. Application of mathematical skills and blue print

reading is part of the daily experience. Technical reading and writing skills will also be

emphasized.

Manufacturing Processes is a course that specializes in using modern manufacturing processes

to obtain resources and change them into industrial materials, industrial products and consumer

products. Activities provide an understanding of the characteristics and properties of industrial

materials and the processing of these materials into consumer goods. Students will investigate

the properties of engineered materials such as: metallics; polymers; ceramics; and composites.

After gaining a working knowledge of these materials, students will study six major types of

material processes: casting and molding; forming; separating; conditioning; finishing; and

assembling. In this course, each of these processes is a major body of content. It is through the

study of common principles, supported by related laboratory and problem solving activities, that

understanding is developed and reinforced.

• Recommended Grade Levels: 10-11

• Credits: 1 or 2 semester course, 1 credit per semester

• Counts as a Directed Elective or Elective for the General, Core 40, Core 40 with

Academic Honors and Core 40 with Technical Honors diplomas

• A Career Academic Sequence, Career-Technical program, or Flex Credit course.

• Career Clusters: This course may be included as a component for career pathways in

the Manufacturing career cluster
