Students at the Dillon campus explored the world of precision in IMT-180: Industrial Tools and Precision Measurement. This hands-on course introduces students to a range of measurement tools, from basic rulers and tape measures that read in increments of 1/64th of an inch to English and metric micrometers that measure in thousandths of a millimeter and ten-thousandths of an inch.
During the class, students focused on how to read an English micrometer. This tool is capable of measuring extremely fine increments, making it essential for work that requires high accuracy.
IMT-180 courses are typically offered at the Dillon campus from 4 to 6 p.m. on Tuesdays – Thursdays. However, class times can be adjusted based on student schedules. This makes it a great option for those looking to continue their education while balancing other responsibilities, such as a full-time job.
Students interested in enrolling or requesting a specific workforce class can contact the Enrollment Center or reach out to Jamie Thomas, whose office is located in the 100 Building at the Dillon campus. If a particular workforce course is not listed, students are encouraged to request it. New classes can be added based on student interest.
