Our Mission and Vision
To help each student increase their knowledge in all aspects of the Student Shop.
We teach you how to machine, not what to machine
Students are encouraged to speak with Steve Earp, Greg Bumpass, or Mikey Hauser for assistance on project machining procedures or if they have any problematic situations.

Safety Training in the Student Shop
Our Part One test will open for Pratt students to take at any time on Canvas for the Fall 2026 semester, starting in early August.
If you are a Pratt student who failed or missed out on our safety training during the Spring 2026 semester, you can attempt to take it in the Fall 2026 semester. All students who lose their shop badge are required to retake part two testing in the Student Shop.
Available Dates/Times for attempting our Part Two testing for the Fall 2026 semester will be posted on our machine calendar pages.
MACHINE RESERVATION REQUIREMENT
Students are required to attach or add a JPEG ONLY photo (We cannot view a . HEIC or .PVT) of their Student Shop badge to any of their machine reservation requests.
This is a requirement for every student reserving any machine in the Student Shop.
All student reservations received without a photo of their Student Shop badge attached will result in their reservation being declined.
No exceptions
Any student group using or attempting to reserve more than 2 machines at one time may have those additional reservations revoked to allow other Pratt students access and use of those machines.
