Computerized Numerical Control
Using numerical control, automatic operation is achieved by means of numerical instructions expressed in computerized code and prepared in advance. Shop conditions simulate those found in industry; students learn to read blueprints, determine sequence of operations, make their own set-ups, choose the correct machine for the job, and produce a quality product. Prior training and experience as a machinist are required for admission to the CNC program.
When is the program offered?
Courses are taught year round during the day, evening, and split-term to accommodate a wide range of schedules for full-time and part-time students.
