Foreword
As the National Technical Committee Chairman for the Precision Machining Technology portion of the Skills USA-VICA championships. I get to see students of varying levels of competence compete each year. Each year my Industry committee works very hard to design a competition that is challenging but fair. Since both Secondary and Post-Secondary students compete at the Nationals, the level of difficulty is always a topic of discussion. Of major concern are the low scores in the CNC programming sections of this national competition. Only basic CNC programming skills are required to complete these portions of the competition. However, the scores indicate that too many competitors do not have these basic skills. Because the committee feels a responsibility to help educators provide this basic knowledge to students interested in manufacturing technology, the committee suggested that this booklet be furnished to all Skills USA-VICA State Directors and all instructors with a machining curriculum in that state.
