PGM CODE - 960C

Program Description Graduates of this program qualify for entry level positions as toolmakers. Toolmakers utilize a wide variety of machines, tools, processes and skills to create jigs, fixtures, patterns and other production supporting equipment. This position differs from production personnel in that many tooling projects require a very high degree of accuracy, designing of one-of-a kind tools and parts, as well as a high degree of critical thinking and analytical problem solving skills. Toolmakers work with machinists, welders, and engineers to define, create, and validate tooling. Students completing this program will have received rigorous training in theory and application for entry into the aerospace tooling industry. Many skills built in the Aerospace Tooling program can readily transfer to other industries.

Credit/Grade Requirements The certificate is awarded upon completion of 17 credits from the courses listed below. All required credits must be earned at Edmonds CC. A 3.0 grade point average is required for this certificate.
