MATC CNC Machining Certifcate

CNC MACHINING PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Machining One-Year Certificate of Completion program is a self-directed, outcome-based program designed to prepare students for technician-level employment in CNC machining in a manufacturing environment. The program is offered exclusively at the Manufacturing and Applied Technology Center (MATC) at COCC's Redmond Campus. Departmental approval is required for enrollment at the Manufacturing and Applied Technology Center.

Building on a strong foundation of blueprint reading, CAD and basic manual machining skills, students learn about CNC machining by understanding:

Setup and operation of modern CNC mills and lathes and modifying code using conversational programming.
Conventional M&G code programming for CNC machining including simulation and proofing of code.
Using Mastercam CAM software to process part models and create post processed machine code to drive the CNC machines.

All credits required to satisfy the requirements of this One-Year Certificate can also be applied towards the Associate of Applied Science degree in Manufacturing Technology. For requirement details see:
