Program Description
This program is designed for students wanting to complete a one-year (two semester) Certificate in CNC Machining and enter the workforce. Students explore the skills and techniques in CNC lathe and mill programs, CAD/CAM, and metrology principles. This certificate program trains students in computer numerical control (CNC) lathe operations and CNC milling operations. They gain exposure to Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Machining (CAD/CAM) for 2-axis machining, 3-axis wireframe and surface modeling, lathe programming, and direct numerical control (DNC) systems. This program prepares students for entry-level career positions in CNC machining and manufacturing businesses.

Semester Note: Students in the Precision Machining Technology program enter as a cohort. All students must be full-time and register for all the program classes each semester. The classes in the first and second semesters are organized in 7.5 week blocks. The classes are scheduled sequentially with the competencies learned in each class building on the students' skills and preparing them for the next group of classes. Manual Machining must be completed before taking CNC Machining.
