TRACK 1 TRAINING – BASIC MANUFACTURING SKILLS
(Three 6-hour classes, one day per week)
2-part class. Shop Math will provide participants with the training they need to understand fundamental mathematical concepts before starting Blueprint Reading and Metrology & Quality Inspection. Participants will be able to understand and perform basic math operations, how to calculate an average, be proficient using a calculator, add and subtract fractions and convert fractions to decimals and decimals to fractions.
2-part class. Blueprint Reading gives students the training they need to read basic engineering drawings. Participants will understand what the different types of lines on a blueprint mean and differentiate them, know how to read the different views on a blueprint, tell the difference between different types of holes and be able to identify a thread callout on a blueprint.
Metrology & Quality Inspection
