MACHINE TOOL TECHNOLOGY - COMPUTER NUMERICAL CONTROL PROGRAMMER
CERTIFICATE: Certificate in Applied Science with a major in Computer Numerical Control
The curriculum relies on a "hands-on" and lecture approach to learning, and students will spend a large portion of their time working in a practical setting. Students will become proficient in metal machining operations and planning procedures, with emphasis on practical machining techniques. Students will be introduced to modern manufacturing processes including: Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Programming; Computer Assisted Drafting (CAD); and Computer Assisted Manufacturing (CAM) software. This computer training will enhance the graduates' ability to program, set up and produce pieces in accordance with engineering drawing specifications.
