Manufacturing Processes and Materials Cluster
Advanced Machining
Participants build upon the material removal competencies
developed in the Basic Material Removal
and Metallic Materials modules. In addition,
participants gain skills in more complex machining
processes used to produce a wide variety of parts.
Participants operate the lathe, mill, surface grinder,
and drill press, using various materials such as
plastic, aluminum, brass, steel, and stainless steel.
They also perform operations such as turning internal
and external threads, surface grinding and finishing,
deburring, chamfering, tapping, counterboring, and
drilling.

Module
Basic Material Removal
Basic Material Removal introduces participants
to five basic machine tools used for material removal:
lathes, drill presses, saws, milling machines, and
grinders. Participants develop knowledge and practical
skills through demonstrations, discussions, and
hands-on machining.

Module
Metal Forming and Joining
In Metal Forming and Joining, participants
learn to identify the processes used to make a given
product and then produce metal parts and products
using these processes. Participants operate a basic
sheet metal forming machine, operate at least one
basic welding machine, and produce at least one
green sand casting.

Module
Metallic Materials
Metallic Materials helps participants develop
a basic understanding of the structures and properties
of common metallic materials. Participants also
learn how those properties relate to product design
and manufacturing processes.

Module
Non-Metallic Materials
Participants investigate a diverse range of non-metallic
materials (such as composites, ceramics, abrasives,
elastomers, wood, paper, food) and the properties
unique to each one, as well as selection criteria,
cost considerations, and processing techniques.

Module
Principles of Manufacturing Processes
Participants explore and analyze the way products
are made, relate their observations to an established
taxonomy of manufacturing processes, and discover
resources available through professional engineering
societies. This module helps participants recognize
the need for ongoing professional development in
their careers.

Module
Tooling for Manufacturing
Tooling for Manufacturing introduces participants
to basic locating and clamping techniques, the use
of fixed-limit and functional gages, and modular
tooling techniques. In addition, participants select
tooling materials to meet production criteria and
analyze economic data to select the most cost-effective
tool design.
