Biography

I am Eric Silva, an Instructor in Manufacturing and Machining at Modesto Junior College (MJC) with over 18 years of experience in the field. Before joining MJC in the Fall of 2021, I served as a Machine Shop Supervisor for 14 years at Wafab International and a consultant for Kinetics and Mega Fluid systems, gaining extensive expertise in various machining processes and techniques. I gained significant experience in the Semiconductor industry programming and operating both CNC and manual mills and lathes. During my industrial career, I attended MJC to acquire my A.S. degree in Machine Tool Technology. I am always looking to further my experience and grow as an instructor and Machinist. On my off time, I work on trainings from Fanuc for certifications in Industrial Robotics and pursue my bachelor's degree. Currently, I hold 4 certificates with Fanuc Industrial Robotics and am actively seeking other certifications to enhance my skills and further strengthen the program. My combination of academic knowledge, practical experience, and industry certifications allows me to effectively educate and prepare students for successful careers in the manufacturing and machining industry.
