1 Precision Manufacturing Program Conventional Precision Manufacturing (CPM) Certificate Program During this program, students learn about subjects that form a solid foundation for a career in manufacturing. The CPM program centers on the operation of conventional (manual) machinery used in today's manufacturing workplace. During this noncredit certificate program, students learn: Safety in the Work Environment Engineering Drawing Interpretations (Blueprint Reading) Measurement for Manufacturing Manufacturing Math Conventional Machining (lathe and mill). During the program's 90 hours of shop time, students gain hands-on experience operating manual lathes and mills. In their measurement classes, students learn about and gain experience using a variety of tools utilized in precision manufacturing. Students who successfully complete the CPM program receive a non-credit certificate and are eligible to advance to the next level, the Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) Certificate Program. This program prepares students for high-demand positions. Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) Certificate Program During this credit certificate program, students take coursework that prepares them to become Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine operators. The courses in the CAM Certificate Program include: Manufacturing Materials and Processes I and II CNC Machining I and II Introduction to Lean Manufacturing Principles of CNC with Mastercam Geometric Dimension and Tolerancing Introduction to Quality Control Classes begin January 11, 2016 For more information, contact Ed Dombroski: [email protected]: This program is funded in part by the Connecticut Advanced Manufacturing Initiative (CAMI), a Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training grant, as implemented by the Employment and Training Administration, U.S. Department of Labor. CAMI is an equal opportunity program. Auxiliary aids and services are available upon request to individuals with disabilities.

2 Non-Credit Certificate Program Conventional Precision Manufacturing Certificate Program MFT Conventional Machining Lab (90 hours) Students are introduced to a variety of conventional machine tools such as: mills, drills, and lathes.
