Orientation for Students and Lab Managers

Students and Lab Managers, whether submitting jobs for research faculty or their own Faculty sponsored projects, must  complete the one hour machine shop orientation session and register with the machine shop before we can accept job submissions. Individuals can review the PowerPoint slides on the orientation link below. All the information on correct submission and shop capabilities are listed in the Orientation PowerPoint file.  

The first step for all jobs is to read the Machine Shop orientation materials then meet with the shop manager -
