Is This You?The following is a description of the aptitudes, abilities, skills and personal characteristics that match the profile of aperson ideally suited for a career in the machine trades technology career field.The purpose of this description is to aid in assisting a student with the important task of finding a match between that

students qualities and the qualities required of a person working in this field.By no means are the following to be viewed as finely honed skills you must possess as a prerequisite forselecting this course. Rather, they are abilities/qualities that you recognize in yourself that you believe can befurther matured by your participation in this class.

Aptitudes/Abilities/Skills

High spatial relations has the ability to visualize an object in ones minds eye can rotate this visualized object,knowing what it looks like on all sides can visualize what a two-dimensional drawing will look like in three dimensionsand vice versaGood mechanical ability has an understanding of how mechanical things workGood mathematical ability - can convert fractions to decimals, is competent in the four basic operations (+ - x ) withfractions and decimals, can solve for a single unknown in an equation, understands geometric shapes and concepts

(radius, tangent, diameter, symmetry, etc.), right angle trigonometryGood communications skills is able to read, understand, and follow both written and spoken directions

Personal CharacteristicsIs a detail person will devote the time and energy necessary to get quality resultsLikes machinery - is comfortable operating machinery and hand tools

Likes working with hands and mind takes pride in a job well done and sees value in his/her role in societyIs both a sequential and analytical thinker Since many of the parts a machinist makes are highly complex, he/shemust be able to organize ideas to determine what needs to be done, step by step, to complete the job correctly.Possesses the willingness or ability to persevere in staying on a multi-step task to completionIs competent with computers feels comfortable with a variety of computer applications (word processing,spreadsheet, internet, CNC programming software)

Possesses the willingness or ability to function as part of a team of workers can tolerate varied personalitiesIs coachableLikes to be able to see the physical results of ones labor it is important to see the work develop, from the ideastage to the completed product

What will 1 year, or 2 years of successful completion of theMachine Trades Technology Course qualify a student for?

The successful completion of one year of Machine Trades

Technology would qualify the student for an entry-level position atmost manufacturing facilities. He/she would likely start as a generallaborer or as a machine operator, depending on the economy.He/she might qualify to start as an apprentice in a skilled trade.A student who successfully completes two years of Machine Trades

Technology would qualify for all of the above but would have theadvantage of a greater likelihood of being hired in the first place, andwould have a greater likelihood of starting an apprenticeship earlieror in receiving training for a specific machine or machining process

within the industry.The successful completion of one year of Machine TradesTechnology is the equivalent of one semester towards a WSCCassociate degree in Machine Trades.

Course Description: Machine Trades Technology is designed to give students the training necessary to enter the machining industry on a

beginning level. The course content follows the Level 1 guidelines of the National Institute of Metalworking Skills. Students will have the

opportunity to earn credentials in seven different metal working modules (Measurement, Materials, and Safety; Job Planning, Benchwork,

and Layout; Milling; Drill Press; Surface Grinding; Turning Between Centers and Turning-Chucking.) Each student will complete a set of

required projects (scriber, brass hammer, punches, tap wrenches, and an angle plate), which will become part of their inventory of hand

tools. To give students experience machining a variety of materials, these projects are made of aluminum, brass, oil hardening drill rod, andstainless steel. In addition to the required projects each student is encouraged to design and build a major project is to be entered into the

Michigan Industrial and Technology Education Societys project competition held in May. Students will visit several local companies to learn

about current trends in manufacturing processes, specialized machinery, and career opportunities. Students who wish to take a second year

of Machine Trades must have the instructors approval.

typically found in a manufacturing facility

(saws, drill presses, lathes, milling machines

and surface grinders). Core knowledge of

metal cutting procedures/operations will be

gained through reading and studying the

text, demonstrations, teamwork, and hands

on practice. Seven required projects must be

completed before the student is allowed to

select and build a project(s) of their own

choice. Each student will be encouraged to

submit at least one of his or her projects in

the annual Michigan Industrial Technology

Reading

Crucial to ones success in machining is

the ability to extract the information from

a drawing that is necessary to build or

make a specific part. Students willbecome familiar with: the meanings of

different types of lines, the principles of

orthographic projection, dimensioning,

blueprint notations, and title block

information.

MachiningProcesses

The Machine Trades class will tour

several companies during the school yearto see first hand how a manufacturing

facility operates. Specific manufacturing

machines and processes will be a focal

point on these trips. Follow-up discussions

about company structure and departments

such as: research and development,

engineering, equipment layouts, material

handling, quality control and inspection,production, assembly, plant maintenance,

and shipping will help all of the students

gain insight into the daily operation of a

manufacturing company.

Work Ethics and

Employability

Skills

The learning experiences in Machine

Trades will center on a students personal

development relating to proper work

ethics. A students behavior and actions

related to their dependability, attitude and

initiative would be evaluated and

calculated as 1/3 of their marking period

grade. Employability skills training helps

students with the process of finding career

opportunities, filling out applications,

interviewing, understanding employer

expectations and acceptable ways for

terminating employment.

Precision Measurement

A machinist is required to make

parts that meet blueprintspecifications, which oftenrequire tolerances of plus orminus .001 inch. In order to dothis, the operator needs to beable to use measuring tools suchas rules, micrometers, electroniccalipers, and indicators.

Layout & Bench Work

Layout involves transferring the features

of a parts design from its blueprint to theworkpiece, such as the coordinates of aholes position or the location anddimensions of a groove.

The term bench work, refers to theactual hand processes used in themanufacture of parts, such as filing,drilling, tapping, grinding, and polishing.

Blue Print Reading

Blueprints are basically the universal language of

manufacturing. They are the vehicle by which ideasbecome reality. Engineers and designers usemechanical drawings to represent three-dimensionalobjects (objects that have height, width & depth) in atwo-dimensional format (a piece of papers surfaceonly has width and height). The blueprint gives themachinist all the necessary information needed tosuccessfully make a part.

To the right is a T-handled Tap Wrenchin its stages of completion, starting witha stainless steel rod. The blueprintsabove are the ones used to make thewrench. Every student completes thisproject.
