CNC Machining Technology

About

The mission of the CNC (Computer Numerical Control) Machining Program is to provide the student with a broad range of experience of all machine tools that one will come in contact with after graduation and throughout their career. Machinists, tool and die makers, industrial maintenance employees, and machine operators all require skills in the machining of metal by machine tools. The CNC Program includes instruction relating to safety, blueprint reading, mathematics, manual milling and turning machines, drill presses, grinders, wire EDM machines, CNC lathes, and CNC milling equipment. Other areas include layout work, precision measuring and metallurgy. A wide range of opportunities await graduates of the CNC Machining Technology Program.
