Computerized Numerical Control Technology
Certificate program (Typically finished in two semesters)
In this CNC Certificate Program students will learn the programming, set-up and operation of machine tools, including loading raw stock, start-up procedures, de-bugging of programs, and inspection of parts. Instruction emphasizes hands-on skills as well as related information in the use of computerized numerical control (CNC) technology to program machine tools for drilling, milling, and turning operations. A graduate of this program can be employed as a class C machinist, entry-level tool programmer, CNC Operator, or a mechanical engineering technician.
This program provides the student the opportunity:
- To learn machining techniques which are among today's high technological computer based manufacturing environments.
The graduate of this program is able to:
- Set-up and program a Computer Numeric Machine and evaluate tool paths for safety and efficiency.
- Use Computer Aided Manufacturing software to create a machine-readable program.
- Plan and create a tool path that includes holding methods and cut sequences.
