Computer-Integrated Machining, AAS

A50210

Official Program Description registered with the NC Community College System:

The Computer-Integrated Machining curriculum prepares students with the analytical, creative and innovative skills necessary to take a production idea from an initial concept through design, development and production, resulting in a finished product.

Coursework may include manual machining, computer applications, engineering design, computer-aided drafting (CAD), computer-aided machining (CAM), blueprint interpretation, advanced computerized numeric control (CNC) equipment, basic and advanced machining operations, precision measurement and high-speed multi-axis machining.

Graduates should qualify for employment as machining technicians in high-tech manufacturing, rapid-prototyping and rapid-manufacturing industries, specialty machine shops, fabrication Industries, and high-tech or emerging industries such as aerospace, aviation, medical, and renewable energy, and to sit for machining certification examinations.

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the Computer Integrated Machining program, a graduate should be able to:

  • Complete a part or parts using manual machines.
  • Program, operate, and setup computer numerical control (CNC) machines.
  • Manufacture a complex assembly to specification by using computer aided manufacturing (CAM) software, CNC and manual machine.

Degree Awarded

The Associate in Applied Science Degree Computer-Integrated Machining is awarded by the College upon completion of this program.
