Computer-Integrated Machining

The Computer-Integrated Machining Technology curriculum is designed to prepare 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. Hands-on training and coursework typically 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.

A-B Tech offers an A.A.S. Degree, Diploma, and Certificate pathway in Computer-Integrated Machining, each building on the other. 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 le energy, and sit for machining certification examinations.
