Description
Peninsula College’s CNC Machining and Programming Short Term Certificate Program prepares students for a variety of jobs related to computer numerically controlled (CNC) equipment. Occupational fields includes CNC machine tool operators and CNC machine tool programmers. Industries that utilize these occupations include, but are not limited to, aerospace, marine, automotive, sports-equipment fabrication, and many others. Students that successfully complete the
program will be equipped with skills to safely load, unload, operate, and maintain CNC equipment. Further, students will receive training in appropriate tooling, fixturing, and programming. Finally, students will complete a course that explores current challenges in CNC machining as they relate to composite materials manufacturing.
Skill Sets
At completion of certificate, student will successfully:
- Demonstrate knowledge of composites, machining, and software terminology.
- Demonstrate introductory knowledge of CAD/CAM Software: -Geometry creation -Geometry manipulation -Tool path creation -Tool path application
