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. Graduates should qualify for a variety of employment in Advanced Manufacturing fields, including Lathe and Turning Machine Tool Setters, Operators, and Tenders. The 2014 Median Salary in North Carolina with a diploma is $18.50/hr (U.S. Department of Labor, 2015).
