Defining Machining Education in Florida

Defining Machining Education in Florida

Friday, November 22

This workshop will focus on defining stackable academic credentials aligned to national standards. One of our objectives is to review the current college credit certificates under the A.S. Engineering Technology Mechanical Fabrication and Design specialization as well as those for the PSAV Machinist Program. We anticipate the fine-tuning of the standards and benchmarks and will explore an alignment with NIMS certifications that may result in articulation pathways. Anyone (machining professionals and trainers, secondary and post-secondary machining educators, etc) interested in machining education in secondary and/or post secondary institutions are welcome to attend and participate.
