Manufacturing Basics

Renton Technical College

The machining programs are designed to help students acquire and develop skills necessary to work in the

manufacturing industry. The programs integrate theory and practical applications in a fully equipped machine

shop facility.

In the six-quarter Machining Technologies program, students study machining processes and procedures,

properties of metals, blueprint reading, applied math, inspection techniques, and the operation of Computer

Numerical Control (CNC) machines. The CNC equipment includes vertical and horizontal machining centers as

well as CNC lathes.

Transfer credit from other institutions will be considered upon validation of transcript and course work.

Students holding a recent Certificate of Completion from RTC should contact the Registrar for degree options.

This program articulates with Tech Prep programs through the Puget Sound Dual Credit Career Consortium.

Program Learning Outcomes:

  • Practice safe work standards expected in a machine shop environment.
  • Solve problems to carry out manufacturing tasks in a timely and efficient manner
  • Apply the principles of mathematics, precision measurement and machining, and blueprint reading to the production of parts and tools to industry standards.
