100+ Years of Machinist Education at Penn College

Chethan Meda, a manufacturing engineering student, takes us around ‪@penncollege‬'s Machining Labs cutting-edge facilities and hands-on learning experiences. From manual machining to high-precision CNC work, their labs are equipped with state-of-the-art machinery, providing students with an opportunity to hone their skills in an environment that mirrors real-world industry standards.
Through a unique 1-to-9 format, students spend extensive hours in the lab, translating theoretical knowledge into hands-on expertise. Chethan also gives an exclusive tour of the Baja Room. This specialized program is where engineering meets adrenaline, as students design, build, and manufacture single-seat racing UTVs right here on campus. From CNC stamping to forming and rolling, their students learn to convert raw materials into finely-tuned racing equipment.

My old stomping grounds! It looks a lot different since I've been there. Just awesome!

[@zanderbuilt_innovations]

Chethan, your work is incredible. I was very privileged to be in school with you. Keep on sending it!

[@JeffRankinenAmyJoey]

Great video! Chethan is in my class where we are learning about the Unified Namespace (UNS) architecture using a low-cost, hands-on, Arduino-based system.

[@JohnDoe-iv5kw]

I would love to hire some of your students! Do they know how to program Arduinos by hand?

[@lvxleather]

Nice looking facility, you do a good job keeping it clean. Having those EDM's is something you don't see at a lot of colleges, the only thing I didn't see was a surface grinder.

[@seabears_hate_circles]

There is a grinding that includes surface and cylindrical grinders, plus a space for heat treating.

Im super impressed

[@seths.173]

Currently a student there, the new Acer lathe’s are crap! Bridgeports are decent. And overall, a very expensive school

[@swissalmonds2775]

Thanks for the honesty! We got nothing but clapped out First mills in our "state of the art" school, glad things are the same everywhere haha
