Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: emerging (Level 1)(based on Micro-Credential)

  • Precision measuring instruments such as micrometers and vernier calipers — identify and handle under direct supervision on the shop floor to support basic dimensional checks.
  • Blueprint and engineering drawing fundamentals — interpret basic views and title-block tolerances under technician guidance before beginning a machining operation.
  • Manual lathe and milling machine controls — operate under close direction to produce simple turned or milled features on soft metals within stated tolerances.
  • Machine feed and speed tables — read and apply manufacturer-recommended settings under supervisor instruction during initial production runs.
  • Completed workpieces — measure and compare against a go/no-go gauge or dimension sheet under supervision to identify obvious out-of-tolerance conditions.
  • Cutting tools and tool holders — select and mount following a written setup sheet under journeyman oversight in a vocational or apprenticeship lab setting.
  • Basic shop mathematics including fractions, decimals, and unit conversions — apply to calculate simple part dimensions from a drawing with guidance from a senior machinist.
  • Machine tool lubrication and daily cleaning routines — carry out according to posted maintenance schedules to support proper operational condition of shop equipment.
  • CNC machine control panel — navigate basic functions such as homing, tool offsets, and cycle start under direct instruction during introductory CNC training.
  • Active listening and clarifying questions — use when receiving verbal or written job instructions from a supervisor to ensure correct setup before cutting begins.
