SWIC renews NIMS accreditation for precision machining technology program

Southwestern Illinois College (SWIC), Granite City, Ill., has renewed the NIMS accreditation of its precision machining technology program. This is the second time the college program has established itself as a NIMS-accredited training source, having first achieved it in 2009.

This accreditation focuses on skills from the NIMS Machining Level I National Standard, which includes CNC operations, programming, and setup, as well as a variety of manual machining competencies.

The on-site evaluator issued high ratings in all eight areas of the evaluation: program purpose; facilities; equipment, tooling, and measuring devices; program features; administration and management; instructional staff; student credentials; and program advisory committee.
