1. Engineering Principals – Identifies the tool design features and application factors used to effect change in tool performance. This section establishes common terminology used for all metal cutting tools for all processes. The material covered in the five courses within the engineering principals section is applicable for all tools and for metalcutting processes. The topics covered in the engineering principals section include:
   
   
   • Mechanics of Metalcutting
   • Cutting edge materials
   • Operating conditions, tool life and productivity
   • Tool Failure Analysis
   • Surface Finish
   
   
2. Turning Processes – The six courses offered in this section apply the selection criteria introduced in the engineering principals section to processes traditionally performed on the lathe or turning center. Each process uses static tooling with a rotating workpiece. Processes covered in this section include:
   
   
   • Toolholder Selection
   • Boring Bar Selection
   • Insert Selection
   • Grooving Tool Selection
   • Cutoff Tool Selection
   • Single Point Threading
   
   
3. Machining Center Processes – The four courses offered in this section apply the selection criteria introduced in the engineering principals section to processes traditionally performed on machining centers. Each process uses dynamic tooling with the tool rotating and the workpiece is stationary. Rotating tool processes include:
   
   
   • Face Mill Selection
   • End Mill Selection
   • Drill Selection
   • Tap Selection
