Course Structure
AIM’s Molding Math course was developed based on needs identified in our Molding 2 Enrollment Evaluation.
On average, the molders taking this evaluation were scoring at a 34%, which was creating challenges for students in our Molders’ Series courses.
This course approaches math from a practical standpoint and is designed to give students an overview of various principles and applications directly related to the injection molding industry.
Students will be assigned homework each day and are provided an answer key so they can check their work. In addition, AIM will provide a detailed worksheet (upon an individual student’s request) that outlines the steps required to solve each homework problem.
