Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Certificate)

  • Precision calipers, micrometers, and gauges — independently measure finished workpiece dimensions and compare results against blueprint tolerances on routine production runs.
  • CNC machines and robotic equipment — set up and operate with limited oversight to perform multiple machining functions on standard metal and plastic workpieces.
  • Tooling, attachments, and alignment fixtures — install, align, and secure using hand tools and measuring instruments with minimal supervisor direction.
  • Machining sequences and numerical control specifications — review program blueprints and configure machine operations for familiar part families without step-by-step guidance.
  • Machining sequences and workpiece placement — adjust setup and change tooling independently when transitioning between standard jobs in a production cell.
  • Auditory monitoring skills — detect irregular machine sounds during operation and make compensating adjustments to speed, feed, or tooling on familiar jobs.
  • CNC program parameters — implement approved modifications and enter updated specifications into the machine computer based on in-process inspection results.
  • Speed and feed calculations — compute machine ratios and determine cut size and position for standard materials using established formulas and reference data.
  • CAM and industrial control software — load, verify, and execute machining programs for routine part runs with reduced supervisor review.
  • Quality control records and production logs — document inspection results and machine settings accurately using spreadsheet software in a shop environment.
