Industrial Machine and Maintenance
The infrastructure of America, as we know it today, runs because of manufactured goods and advancements in technology produced by engineers, machine operators, electricians, machinists, maintenance workers, and quality control technicians.
In this course, students will dive into the process of manufacturing mechanical components, including precision measurement, blueprint reading, conventional and CNC machining processes, cutting tool and material types and selection, and Computer Aided Drafting and Design (CADD). CADD, 3D Modeling, 3D printing, and tool maintenance and repair will be integrated into the content as students progress through the program. Students will spend approximately half of each training day using machining tools to complete lab projects.
Upon completion of the Industrial Machine and Maintenance Program, students will have the knowledge, skills, and professionalism required to enter the Manufacturing Industry as an Entry Level Machinist or Entry Level Maintenance employee. During the program, students learn about and are connected with Alaskan employers in the machining industry.
