Precision Machining is a highly skilled occupation in which raw material is machined and transformed into specialized industrial tooling or custom products. Vincennes University offers the most comprehensive Precision Machining Technology program in Indiana, and is one of the few in the United States to offer specialized training in manual machining, CNC machining, metal stamping die, and plastic

injection mold building. With over 1,600 hours of hands on experience, students have the opportunity to develop a solid background in machine shop practices, as well as learn the set-up and operation for all basic types of manual and CNC machine tools. Classroom discussions focus on theory, terminology, and calculations. The type and quality of equipment used in our labs include traditional machine tools as well as the latest in CNC equipment— identical to that found in industry. In addition, our faculty has an extensive background in education, teaching, and industry, to ensure that students receive instruction in both theory and practical applications. Precision Machining Technology graduates have the option of applying for acceptance into our 14 week summer session, Advanced CNC Machining & Programming, providing them with an additional 560 hours of hands on CNC education, as well as a second Associates degree. Starting salaries for VU’s Precision Machining graduates average in the $40,000 to $50,000 range with some far exceeding this. Job opportunities are excellent, with virtually 100 percent placement.

✨We are excited to introduce our new Precision Machining Instructor, Ms. Aubree Davis! ✨

A 2024 graduate of Gibson Southern High School, Ms. Davis took full advantage of the Precision Machining program at Princeton throughout her high school career. She then went on to earn her Associate Degree in Precision Machining from Vincennes University.

We’re thrilled to have her back in the lab leading the next generation of machinists. Please join us in welcoming Ms. Davis, and wishing all of our students and staff a wonderful school year! 🐅🛠️🐅

Blessed to serve.

We are incredibly grateful that the Precision Machining Technology Department at Vincennes University has the opportunity to be part of this outstanding partnership with Marian University and Herron-Riverside High School.

This initiative is about much more than teaching technical skills. It’s about opening doors for students in an underserved area of Indianapolis who may not have had access to high-quality career and technical education pathways. Through opportunities like this, students can discover rewarding careers, build valuable skills, and create brighter futures for themselves and their families.

We want to thank Marian University for their vision and leadership in making this possible, and for allowing Vincennes University to be a partner in this important work. We look forward to serving these students and helping them discover the life-changing opportunities available through precision machining and the skilled trades.

We’re honored to be part of something that will make a lasting impact.
