Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Principles of Machining II is an advanced level contextual course that builds on the introductory skills learned in the entry-level manufacturing and machining courses, stressing the concepts and practices in a production environment supported by advanced machining and engineering facilities. Working with the course instructor and team members in a cooperative learning environment, students will design, produce, and maintain products that are defined by detailed technical specifications. Emphasis is placed on quality control, safety and engineering codes and standards, and production-grade machining systems, building on the learner’s past knowledge, current experiences, and future conduct as a career machinist. Upon completion of this course, proficient students will be able to examine blueprints and specification drawings to plan and implement the manufacture of products, machine parts to specifications using both manual and computer controlled machine tools, and measure, examine, and test completed products to check for defects and conformance to specifications.
