Abstract:
This document of skill standards for the machining skills cluster serves as a guide to workforce preparation program providers in defining content for their programs and to employers to establish the skills and standards necessary for job acquisition. These 67 occupational skill standards describe what people should know and be able to do in an occupational setting. Each skill standard contains at least these three areas: performance area (summary of work to be performed); skill standard with conditions of performance, work to be performed, and performance criteria; and performance elements and assessment criteria. These sections may also be included: performance area and assessment and credentialing approach. Introductory materials include the developmental process; assumptions underlying the standards; table of contents; and performance skill levels. Standards, divided into three skill levels, include: manual operations; milling; drill press and power saw operation; surface grinding; electric discharge machine; computer numerical control; turning operations; and inspection. Appendixes include a glossary; lists of committee and council members; and workplace skills. (YLB) Note:The following two links are not-applicable for text-based browsers or screen-reading software.

Abstract:
This tech prep competency profile for computer-integrated manufacturing technology begins with definitions for four occupations: manufacturing technician, quality technician, mechanical engineering technician, and computer-assisted design/drafting (CADD) technician. A chart lists competencies by unit and indicates whether entire or partial unit is required for each occupation. A second chart lists units under subunits and competencies and indicates for five levels (end of grade 10, grade 12, or Associate Degree program; on-the-job training; or lifelong learning) whether the competency is to be introduced, or reinforced, or whether the student should be competent for entry-level positions. The 39 units are as follows: communications; mathematics; science literacy; technology; employability skills; professionalism; teamwork; quality assurance; technical recording and reporting; computer literacy; workplace safety; manual drafting technology; advanced drafting technology; fundamental, intermediate, and advanced CADD; precision machining; manufacturing technology; computerized numerical control; basic materials science; welding basics; press technology; sheet metal fabrication; electrical test and measurement equipment; geometric dimensioning and tolerancing; hydraulics and pneumatics; basic electronics; electromechanical technology; programmable logic controllers; mechanical power transmission; production methods and costs; engineering mechanics; advanced engineering mechanics; computer programming; computer-based descriptive geometry; product design; design of machines and machine elements; quality; and production planning and control.
