The Associate in Applied Science in Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Machining is designed to prepare individuals for employment in the industry as a CNC machinist. CNC Machinists produce precision metal parts, using machine tools such as lathes, drill presses, and milling machines. Also, machinists and tool programmers set up and operate a range of machine tools, using their knowledge of the working properties of metals. They plan and conduct the operations needed to make machined products that meet precise specifications. Students in the Machining program manufacture, assemble, and repair metal parts, subassemblies, and complete machines. Increasingly, machines used to produce metal parts are computer numerically controlled with 3, 4, and 5-axis programming. Students in this program participate in third-party credentialing, such as NIMS and NOCTI activities, before graduation. This program offers a series of short-term certificates that focus on specific skill sets in a particular area of demand that can be learned as a student progresses toward an Associate in Applied Science degree.
