Lincoln Tech Instructor Publishes Second Textbook on Computerized Manufacturing
January 18 2023 - 8:30AM
Lincoln Educational Services Corporation (NASDAQ:
LINC), a national leader in specialized technical training
for more than 75 years, has announced the publication of a new
computerized manufacturing textbook written by an employee at the
Grand Prairie, TX campus. Rick Calverley, the campus’ Director of
Education, has written and published “CNC Programmer’s Guide,” the
second textbook he has produced for the industry.
“It’s wonderful getting to dive into topics I’m really
passionate about,” Calverley says. A third generation manufacturing
professional, Calverley brought extensive field experience with him
to Lincoln Tech when he helped launch the computerized
manufacturing career training program in 2014.
Calverley’s second book, published by Goodheart-Willcox of
Tinley Park, IL, takes a deeper dive into the world of Computer
Numerical Control (CNC) manufacturing. “It’s next-level detail for
CNC programmers,” he says. “Many books on the market today are
outdated. I wanted to produce one that not only reflects the
current state of the industry but also breaks down some advanced
programming techniques in a way that hasn’t really appeared in
print before.”
Each book has taken about two years to bring to market.
Calverley developed much of the artwork himself, and his work is
heavily peer-reviewed. While the books aren’t produced specifically
for use in the CNC classes he teaches, the student experience at
Lincoln Tech is enhanced by the expertise Calverley brings to his
instruction. “It lends validity to the training we deliver on
campus, knowing students can learn from someone who ‘wrote the
book’ on the skills they’re building,” he says. “Employer partners
are impressed, too: they can hire Lincoln Tech graduates with
confidence because they know the candidates from our campus were
trained by true experts.”
Both Calverley’s father and grandfather were machinists; he
himself worked with manufacturing leaders like Lockheed-Martin,
where one of his projects included manufacturing components for the
prototype of Lockheed’s F-35 Lightning II combat aircraft. He
published his first textbook, “CNC Manufacturing Technology,”
through Goodheart-Willcox in 2021.
Calverley’s textbooks can be found at his publisher’s website,
www.g-w.com.
Last year, Lincoln Tech officially reported 9 of out 10 CNC
graduates from the Grand Prairie campus were hired in the field.
The U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics projects
more than 147,000 positions will open across the country for CNC
machinists.* Those positions are in especially high demand in
facilities machining components for industries including aerospace,
automotive, healthcare and robotics.
* Career placement statistic as reported to the Accrediting
Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC) on the campus'
2022 Annual Report. Career growth projections can be found at
onetonline.org for the years 2020-2030 (state and regional) and
2021-2031 (national), and are current as of January 12, 2023.
