Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Technician Certificate (51-52 credits)
This one-year certificate integrates conventional manufacturing techniques with computer numerical control (CNC) manufacturing skills. Computer aided drafting (CAD) is used as a basic tool in the manufacturing engineering process. In addition to technical training, you will receive a solid education in mathematics, along with human relations and computer skills courses.
Graduates typically enter the workforce as computer numerical control (CNC) technicians or computer aided design drafters. With additional on-the-job experience, this training facilitates movement into fields such as quality control inspector and CNC programmer. This certificate completes the first-year requirements for Rogue’s Manufacturing and Engineering Technology AAS degree program.
