This eight-month certificate program will introduce students to modern manufacturing techniques including programming and Computer Assisted Manufacturing (CAM). They will study both theory and practical aspects of modern metal machining and cutting while focusing on programming, advanced manufacturing techniques and interpreting engineering drawings.

Throughout this program students will develop the following skills: • Use current and emerging technologies to support the implementation of mechanical and manufacturing projects • Test and solve standard mechanical problems • Perform technical measurements using equipment • Assist in manufacturing, assembling, maintaining mechanical components • Apply quality control procedures to meet industry standards • Use current technologies to support the creation of mechanical and manufacturing projects
