Math for Manufacturing Seminar

GOAL: This workshop provides the student with techniques to solve realistic mathematical problems that manufacturers commonly encounter.

BENEFITS OF TRAINING: By solving the problems both technical and mathematical skills are strengthened, providing a solid foundation for work in manufacturing.

HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS: The program offers a step-by-step approach to the mastery of essential skills in mathematics including decimals, fractions, ratios, and proportions. Solve problems included deal measurements and fabrication. Problems related to the use of Micrometers, Calipers, Steel Rules, Sine Bars and Vernier scales are included with exercises related to gears, sheet metal machining, screw threads, lathe and cutting, and turning operations.
