Machinist Instructor Machinist Instructor Scott BradeyScott Bradey20+ years machining experience! NASCAR- machinist, cylinder-head specialistAerospace industry- A machinist

As a machinist instructor I believe that students must be trained on the latest machines using the latest tooling and machining techniques! Today we are competing in a global market, machinist must be prepared for these changes!

Engineering InstructorLee Roach

I have 8+ years experience in manufacturing and 5 years teaching. I’m enjoying my first year at Isothermal. I believe in helping students educate themselves to compete in our global economy.

It is my hope and desire that students graduate from Isothermal with renewed focus and energy to meet their future head-on.

Students learn to use many types of design systems in Manufacturing Engineering Programs

• Students machine many different materials and from raw stock to casting

Quality ControlGD&T

Students are trained on inspection techniques using the latest gauging and equipment. Students use manual gages to do part inspection and then verify there work using a CMM.

GD&T tolerances are incorporated in prints so students are practicing these concepts daily.

Training students for Training students for ManufacturingManufacturing

We don’t just teach the basics! We prepare students to become good employees by:

Implementing 5S training

Developing good work habits

Developing Team work practices

Stressing importance of attendance and quality of work!

Drafting InstructorAmber Thompson

I have been the Mechanical Drafting Technology program instructor at Isothermal for 3 years. I have been in design and drafting for 8 years. At ICC we predominantly teach engineering drafting concepts. I believe that students should have a vast background in both 2D and 3D CAD programs, making them highly marketable for the future demands of manufacturing.
