Course Description

Students will learn advanced features of state-of-the-art CNC lathes and mills, make their own fixtures, write the necessary programs, and produce the parts on CNC machines. ADVISORY: MACH A125 or instructor approval. Transfer Credit: CSU.

Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)

1. Demonstrate the process of loading programs from a computer to the memory of the machines.
2. Use the machine to prove out a program without first making the part.
3. Produce basic and complex parts on both CNC Lathes and Mills.

Course Objectives
