Precision Manufacturing and CNC (ITC)
Interm Technical Certificate
Career-Technical Program
Interest Areas:
- Manufacturing and Trades
This program prepares students for entry-level employment in the machining and manufacturing industries. The curriculum features basic to advanced machining concepts involving machine tools such as conventional lathes, mills, grinders, and their Computer Numerical Control (CNC) counterparts. Coursework also involves blueprint reading, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, shop math, and mechanical measurements. This program places emphasis in CNC, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, reading and writing G-Code in preparation for employment in computerized manufacturing trades.
Successful completion of each semester or permission of the instructor is required to continue into the next semester. Prospective students should have solid math skills and demonstrate mechanical aptitude. Computer and keyboarding skills are recommended. Placement om specific English and math classes are determined by college assessment tests.
Current industry professionals may enroll in individual courses on a space-available basis and with the instructor's permission.
