The course is intended as an introductory course for people who might be interested either in engineering or in machining. Machining refers to the process of taking a piece of metal and cutting or shaping it into a working device. This project-based class will teach students about basic machining operations, measurements, and calculations.  Students will learn about different machines and tooling. They will be able to use blueprints to make devices that meet specifications. Students will also learn how to operate Computer Numerical Control (CNC) equipment. Concurrent enrollment available through NNU. Students MUST take Intro to Engineering and Advanced Manufacturing Design I to apply for concurrent credit. Application must be submitted after completion of both courses, see counselor for questions. Courses may be taken in different semesters.           

Upon instructor approval and after successful completion of AMD I, students may apply to enroll in AMD II, III, IV, V, VI, and VII.
