A Message from the Program

Hi Everyone, I’m looking forward to meeting all of you on Tuesday, Sept. 8, at 9:00 am in Rm 134 of the Holland College Waterfront Campus in Summerside, PEI. I'm also looking forward to spending 2 semesters of activity packed learning with you. 50% of our time together will be spent working in the shop with "hands-on" machining projects. The remainder of your time will be spent on a wide variety of classroom based activities and theory. This will all be supplemented by 2 to 3 days of field trips to various manufacturing facilities. Have a great summer!
