The Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) Certificate of Achievement consists of technical courses geared toward the rapid completion of a core set of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) and CAM skills. The student will acquire the CNC set-up and programming competencies that are required to support the advanced metalworking industry. The student will complete several hands-on, machining programming exercises using our authentic, industrial-sized CNC mills and lathes. Current laboratory equipment includes Bridgeport VMCs and HAAS slant bed lathes in addition to our new HAAS office lathe and mill small capacity CNC machines. The current programming environment includes the latest versions of MasterCAM and SolidWorks applications.
