The Integrated Metals CNC/CAD /CAM Certificate is a block of instruction that prepares the student for work in the world of computerized manufacturing. The student is introduced to the application of computerized equipment for engineering CAD (Computer Assisted Design) design as well as material processing involving CNC burning, CNC turning, and CNC machining centers. This will assist students seeking either entry-level skills or skills upgrade for those already working in the metals manufacturing environment. Students seeking this certificate should contact a program advisor for assistance in planning their educational plan.

Students will be required to enroll in the listed courses and complete the prerequisites as they are scheduled in the standard Integrated Metals Program and therefore should apply for admissions to the Integrated Metals program. Students are expected to maintain a minimum grade level of C on core curriculum classes to progress in the program.

Program Outcomes

At the completion of this program, the student should be able to:

  • demonstrate and/or describe safe work habits and environmental issues associated with modern manufacturing settings
  • read, interpret and apply blueprints for the production and inspection of manufactured work pieces
  • demonstrate the correct application and use of precision measuring equipment commonly found in a manufacturing setting
  • demonstrate, explain and/or apply CNC/CAD/CAM machine tools and software to produce work pieces to required blueprint specifications

Students completing the following block of courses will be eligible for the CNC/CAD /CAM Certificate.

Occupational Skill Building Coursework
Occupational skill building courses may provide a structured review of skills used by persons already employed in the machine tool trade or are for those who wish to attain additional knowledge related to a current occupation.

This group of courses will focus on the methods of applying MasterCAM in the development of CNC milling and/or turning programs. This will include study of cutting tool applications in the manufacture of simple parts using the basic Cartesian coordinate systems through an introduction to 3-D modeling. Each course is 5 weeks long and may be offered in any term depending on sufficient enrollment.
