CNC Machine Technology
Certificate of Applied Science
The CNC Machine Technology Certificate of Applied Science program is a 36 credit program designed to be completed in two semesters. This CAS will prepare students to apply technical knowledge and skills to operate computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines such as lathes, mills, precision measuring tools, and related attachments and accessories, to perform machining functions such as cutting, drilling, shaping, and finishing products and component parts. This CAS includes instruction in CNC terminology, setup, programming, operations, troubleshooting, mechanical drawing reading, machining, lathe and mill operations, technical mathematics, computer literacy, CAD/CAM systems, shop and safety practices, equipment capabilities, and regulations and laws.
