Abstract: This document is intended to help education and training institutions deliver the Machine Tool Advanced Skills Technology (MAST) curriculum to a variety of individuals and organizations. MAST consists of industry-specific skill standards and model curricula for 15 occupational specialty areas within the U.S. machine tool and metals-related industries. This volume provides the MAST standards and curriculum for the laser machining specialty area. It is organized in the following sections: (1) a profile of Springfield Technical Community College (Massachusetts), the development center that produced these standards and curriculum; (2) a laser machinist technician competency profile of job duties and tasks; (3) a technician duty, task, and subtask outline; (4) a course curriculum outline and course descriptions; (5) a technical workplace competencies and course crosswalk; and (6) a Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS) proficiencies course crosswalk. Individual syllabi for the following courses are provided: Industrial Mathematics; Fundamentals of Industrial Electronics and Controls; Computer-Aided Design; Computer Numerical Control; Modern Optics; Laser Safety; Industrial Laser Systems; Computer-Aided Manufacturing; Metrology; and Laser Materials Processing. Components of each syllabus are as follows: lecture, lab, and credit hours; course description; prerequisites; course objectives; required course materials; method of instruction; course objectives: technical competencies; and course objectives: SCANS competencies. Appendixes contain the individual competency profiles for each company surveyed by the MAST development center and narrative of the pilot program for this occupational specialty. (YLB)
