Cutting-edge program

Jobs in the Machine Tool industry are going unfilled and the need for skilled machinists is now. This program offers a no-cost, in-depth glimpse into this is a high-tech industry that enables people to work with computers and build rewarding careers. For the future generation of machinists and manufacturers, the ACE CNC Machining Training program is designed to motivate entrants into the industry based on a clear understanding of the total context of machining and the important considerations.

For the existing workforce, already making parts, the ACE CNC Machining Training program can help machinists make parts more efficiently by learning a new physics-based approach to vibration and how it affects machining processes. They are integral to our industrial economy, to our health and welfare, and to national defense. Machine tools either directly make, or make the tooling to make, almost everything.

They are the basis of modern manufacturing and are fundamental to modern life. Machine tools directly create aerostructures, automobile engine blocks, scroll compressors, turbine blades, valve bodies, propellers, and more. They make the mold tooling that makes bottles, lids, test tubes, tires, gas tanks, electrical housings, bumpers, dashboards, syringes, contact lenses, and cell phone camera lenses.

They make the extrusion dies used to create N95 medical mask filter fibers, Kevlar fibers, pasta, medical tubing, PVC pipes, window frames, and polymer sheets. Students can enroll as traditional undergraduate students or can earn a Fine Arts Certificate, a Certificate in 21st Century Skills for Employment, or a Paraprofessional Educator Certificate. A central component of the program, which helps ensure its continued success, is our structure of peer mentorship with graduate and undergraduate students.

Peer mentors are critical to ensuring the full integration of Cutting-Edge students throughout all areas of campus life and play a vital role in their academic, social and personal development.

Since the program began, approximately undergraduate and graduate students at Edgewood College have been involved as study skills peer mentors, in-class peer mentors, social peer mentors, and residence life peer mentors.
