Professional Development
Blueprint ReadingEnhance your skills as a machinist
Precision machining is a major contributor to the economic growth of our region. Employment for machinists is projected to grow four percent through 2029 and skill sets for these employees will be much different. With improvements in technology, such as CNC machine tools, autoloaders, high-speed machining, and lights-out manufacturing, machinists will now have the responsibilities to set-up, monitor, and maintain these systems. NPRC's precision machining courses can serve the needs of an individual entering the workforce for the first time or provide those currently employed with training to enhance their technical skills and advance their career. NPRC has made a commitment to collaborate and partner with the industry to fill this education and training need. Check with your employer's Human Resources Department to see if financial assistance for training is available! This course is designed to provide students with the basic skills to interpret shop drawings. Emphasis is placed on interpreting orthographic projection and tolerance application. By the end of the course, students will be able to identify title block and interpret information; identify line types and uses; identify views; sketch one-, two-, and three-view parts; identify tolerances and applications; identify and understand finish symbols; identify and interpret GD&T symbols; and interpret assembly drawings.
