People employed in one of these occupations often make custom or one-of-a-kind items. Students learn how to set up and operate equipment commonly used in modern machine shops. Hands-on instruction is provided in the use of lathes, milling machines, surface and cylindrical grinders, drill presses, computer numerically controlled (CNC) lathes and milling machines, and the electrical discharge machine (EDM). Units of study include safety, computer-aided drafting, and design (CAD), welding, precision measurements, precision layout, and heat-treating.
