100+ Years of Machinist Education at Penn College

Chethan Meda, a manufacturing engineering student, takes us around Penn College’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.
