CNC Machining Technology AAS
This program provides training that prepares students to set up and operate machining equipment, handle inspection devices, analyze production problems, and move into supervision of machining. Students obtain a strong background in machining, engineering graphics, computers (CAD/CAM/CNC), quality control/quality assurance, material handling and processing, and leadership skills. The program provides a balance between practical training in manufacturing processes and technical education in manufacturing analysis, planning, and control with supporting emphasis in communications, mathematics, science, and business.
To prepare for entry into the program courses in metal or wood shop, mechanical drawing, English, mathematics, physics, and computers are strongly recommended. Activity in clubs or organizations which emphasize leadership skills is also recommended. There is an opportunity for students to work in industry for a specified time and receive college credit, or to convert work and life experience into college credit for this program. Those interested in such an opportunity are encouraged to contact their advisor for further details at the time of registration.
Entrance requirements for degree seeking students in the CNC Machining Technology program include:
- Aleks score in Math of 30 or higher, Writing Placement Exam of 2 or higher, or qualify for MTHPT-137 and ENGL-101.
- Enrollment priority will be given to students on the basis of student’s advising date.
Upon completion of the CNC Machining Technology A.A.S. Degree, the student will be able to demonstrate ability to:
- Knowledge of safety in work place and use of tools safely
- Material knowledge of metals and synthetics to relate to the machining process
- Machine cutting tools and their designed use including speeds and feeds
- Knowledge of work holding as it relates to machine shop equipment which include jigs and fixturing and correct machining order
- Ability to program, edit, setup, and operate CNC lathes and milling machines. Students will be able to produce a variety of parts from 2-D CAD files
- Able to create swept surfaces, ruled surfaces, projected surfaces, surfaces of revolution, and Coons surfaces
- Application of proper utilization of tool length libraries and tool step-over distances to produce 3-D parts within specified surface finish requirements
- Analysis and planning of manufacturing procedures in the development of a project plan, schedule and control of the project
