Precision Machining and Measurement Labortory

该项目侧重于为高精度，高度自动化的加工职位做准备的学生的设备，培训和人际交往技能要求。该项目正在解决这些问题，通过改造现有的引擎车床与数字读数和布里奇波特轧机，以模拟设备中发现的小型机械商店。机械师学生担任同伴培训员，以高中学生参加类似的计划。教书的学生将真正学会他们的贸易。此外，该项目正在建立一个网站，将所有高中、BOCES和感兴趣的工业商店连接到学院的网站，以便分享有关项目、供应商演示时间表、学生辅导活动和就业机会的信息。谁被要求在团队中工作的学生，并有一些与行业的互动，使一个更平稳的过渡到以团队为导向的工作环境。坐标测量机（CMM），SPC和其他数字读出设备被纳入学院的计量课程，以更好地为他们的暑期合作经验和未来的工作环境准备新生。工程技术专业的学生正在提供一个计量课程，他们可以获得SPC应用和概念的技能。最后，现有的加工和测量设施正在达到行业要求的标准。 *

This project focuses on the equipment, training, and interpersonal skills requirements of students preparing for high precision, highly automated machining positions. The project is addressing these issues by retrofitting an existing engine lathe with digital readouts and a Bridgeport mill to emulate equipment found in small machine shops. Machinist students are acting as peer trainers to high school students enrolled in similar programs. Students who teach will truly learn their trade. In addition, the project is establishing a website linking all high schools, BOCES, and interested industrial shops to the college's site for the purpose of sharing information on projects, vendor demonstration schedules, student mentoring activities, and job opportunities. Students who are required to work in teams, and have some interaction with industry, make a much smoother transition to the team-oriented work environment. A coordinate measuring machine (CMM), SPC, and other digital readout devices are being incorporated into the college's metrology course to better prepare freshmen students for their summer co-op experiences and future work environment. Engineering technology students are being provided with a metrology course in which they can gain skills in SPC applications and concepts. Lastly, existing machining and measuring facilities are being brought up to the standards demanded by industry. *
