Overview
CNC Machining (CNC) Courses
CNC 270 Fundamentals of Computer Numerical Control (CNC)
- Units:2
- Hours:25 hours LEC; 33 hours LAB
- Prerequisite:None.
- Catalog Date:August 1, 2024
This course will prepare students with the introductory skills to operate a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine. Students will learn to set up, program, and operate CNC machinery. Instruction includes an overview of the machining process, metrology, inspection, and blueprint reading. Components of this course will be offered online. Students will need to have access to a computer and the Internet and have some familiarity with a computer.
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- demonstrate safe manufacturing lab practices applicable to CNC machining.

- perform basic set-ups and operations required on CNC machines.
CNC 272 Applied Computer Numerical Control (CNC)
- Units:3
- Hours:36 hours LEC; 54 hours LAB
- Prerequisite:CNC 270 with a grade of "C" or better
- Catalog Date:August 1, 2024
This course will give students the skills, knowledge, and training to setup and operate a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) milling machine. Students will learn milling machine setup, CNC programming (coding), tooling, editing, and program debugging. Students will also learn skills needed for this industry such as blue print reading and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing. The order of operation will be taught as a skill development. Components of this course will be offered online. Students will need to have access to a computer and the Internet and have some familiarity with a computer.
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- demonstrate order of operations for manufacturing.
- understanding geometric dimensioning and tolerancing.
- read machine shop blueprints.
- apply conversation programming protocol.
- determine thread pitch and size.
