The Computer Numerical Control Operations program is designed to provide instruction in the theory, operation and programming of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine tools. This program is designed to teach the basic skills required to read and interpret blueprints, operate CNC turning centers and machining centers, perform setups for CNC machine tools, perform tool off-sets, generate CNC program code manually or using computer software, edit CNC programs, upload and download CNC programs from off-line computers to CNC machine tools, and measure and inspect parts produced using CNC technology. Admission into this program requires qualifying scores on SAT, ACT or TTC’s placement test. High school graduation is not required if you are at least 18 years old.
