PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Designed for individuals with employment experience in machining, the courses in this program develop skills in basic microcomputer operation, manual CNC programming and CAD/CAM programming. These concepts will be taught using PC-based MasterCAM. The basic CNC programming course will also review mathematical topics such as geometry and trigonometry.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Applicants for the CNC courses must be able to function at a Grade 12 level in Mathematics and interpret engineering drawings.
