Precision Manufacturing Program
Conventional Precision Manufacturing (CPM) Certificate Program
During this program, students learn about subjects that form a solid foundation for a career in manufacturing. The CPM program centers on the operation of conventional (manual) machinery used in today's manufacturing workplace.
During the program's 90 hours of shop time, students gain hands-on experience operating manual lathes a n d m i l l s . In their measurement classes, students learn about and gain experience using a variety of tools utilized in precision manufacturing.
Students who successfully complete the CPM program receive a non-credit certificate and are eligible to advance to the next level, the Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) Certificate Program. This program prepares students for high-demand positions.
Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) Certificate Program
During this credit certificate program, students take coursework that prepares them to become Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine operators. The courses in the CAM Certificate Program include:
Classes begin January 11, 2016
