at the time the student begins the certificate program
Machining Operations – Level I, Certificate of
Competency (MTC1)
This certificate is designed to prepare the student for entry-level positions in
manufacturing environments utilizing conventional machining equipment.
Concepts covered include mathematical applications in machining, drawings as
a communication tool, and exposure to a variety of equipment used in
manufacturing. Program completers will be prepared to seek positions as
entry-level inspectors, or lathe, milling, drilling, or grinding machine
operators/machinists.
Upon successful completion of this program, students should be able to:
• Perform English and Metric computations involving numeric and literal
problems.
• Discuss the purpose, the importance, the types, and various uses of
engineering drawings, as they relate to the design and manufacture of
parts.
• Communicate the purpose of a title sheet, and relate the value of each of its
comp-onents to the process of completing a finished product. Elaborate on
the reading of operational notes and annotations on a drawing using trade
terminology
• Compare and contrast hardness and machinability ratings.
• Demonstrate procedures for set-up and operation of various sawing,
drilling, offhand, and surface grinding machines.
• Set-up and operate a conventional engine lathe to complete intermediate to
advanced operations involving trepanning, tool post grinding, radiusturning
devices, threading (tap/die) heads, steady, and follower rests.
• Select accessories and attachments, set-up and use face plates,
independent, universal, and combination chucks, collect attachments, and a
steady rest to facilitate internal surface feature creation such as radii, bores
(straight, and tapered), grooves, and chased threads on a lathe.
• Perform machine head/table and workholding device alignments.
• Calculate and set speeds and feeds, and perform drilling, milling, grinding
and other machine operations.

Machining Operations - Level II, Certificate of
Competency (MTC2)
This certificate is designed to prepare the student for above entry-level
positions in the occupational specialty of conventional and Computer
Numerical Control lathe and milling machine operations.
Upon successful completion of this program, students should be able to:
• Determine coolant selection, speed, and feed settings in regard to tool
material and insert geometry requirements in order to obtain specific
surface finish requirements on milled parts.
• Create internal features to include chamfers, bores, recesses, counterbores,
countersinks, grooves and pockets using a milling machine.
• Set-up and use various style cutters to create form (profile) geometry.
• Perform geometric/algebraic/trigonometric calculations for setting-up
machining, and inspection of parts, to include chamfers, tapers, threads,
etc.
• Review reference materials and develop a process plan, to include
job/operations, tooling, and inspection procedures a review of reference
materials in order to perform machining of a basic lathe piece-part.
• Distinguish between the common surface treatments and finishing
processes.
• Relate the classifications of production systems and the impact automation
has for each.
• Elaborate on the principles of Lean Production and the "Factory within a
Department" concepts, suggesting their possible impact on the social fabric
of the workplace.
• Summarize the concepts and criteria for reducing costs and increasing
productivity on the shop floor.
• Utilize welding, melting, casting, and molding equipment.
• Demonstrate appropriate terminology, mechanics, usage, and style while
communicating technical information.
• Develop computer integrated graphical documents to prepare technical
correspondence and presentations.
