COMPETENCIES
Randolph Community College is committed to continuous improvement through program evaluation. One part of the evaluation is to assess program competencies. While our program contains many competencies for students to master, each year a select few are chosen for assessment purposes. This year, program competency assessment will focus on:
- Properly use precision measuring tools.
- Show proficiency in print reading principles.
- Setup and operate manual machine tools.
- Use CNC turning and milling machines.
- Demonstrate proficiency in CAD/CAM applications.
- Illustrate Tool & Die, Mold Making principles.
Haas Technical Education Center
Randolph Community College’s Machining Technology program has been designated a Haas Technical Education Center by Haas Automation. Randolph Community Collge becomes only one of 650 schools nationwide to be awarded this designation. To qualify, a school must meet quality standards established by Haas and the HTEC Council. Haas Automation is the largest Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine tool builder in the world. This allows our students the opportunity to learn the latest CNC programing applications on Haas machines. This is the same type of programming and equipment students will be exposed to when they go to work in the machining industry.
