Precision Machining & Manufacturing

Perry Technical Institute’s Precision Machining & Manufacturing program teaches students the machine trade through the integration of machining theory and practical application in the machine shop. Students use the skills they learn to plan and carry out the operations needed to make machined products that meet precise specifications.

The working properties of metals, applied mathematics, blueprint reading, computer numerical control (CNC) programming, and computer- aided manufacturing (CAM) using Mastercam are some of the subjects students study to develop the skills demanded by today’s industry. The program prepares students to take the Mastercam certification exam.

The goal of the Precision Machining & Manufacturing program is to prepare students for entry-level positions in a variety of manufacturing fields. Graduates will be qualified for positions in industries such as manufacturing, prototyping, job shops, power generation, aerospace, food processing, medical equipment, and other specialty machining industries.

The Precision Machining & Manufacturing program is 12 months in length (four quarters). The student will earn 75 credit hours which are 1,344 clock hours. Tuition is payable on a quarterly basis. There are four quarters in an academic year.

This training program concludes with an externship off campus, or with the completion of a capstone project on campus. The student to instructor ratio for the Precision Machining & Manufacturing program is no greater than 14:1.
