Notes:

The Certificate of Achievement CAD/CAM Programming prepares the student with skills specializing in Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM). This program prepares the student to model, program, and simulate complex toolpath and generate code required to automate the manufacturing of parts on multi-axis Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) machines. This program is aligned with the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) core competency subject. This certificate is also aligned with the National Institute of Metalworking Standards (NIMS) certification in CAD/CAM programming.

Zero Textbook Costs (ZTC):

The Zero Textbook Costs designation and logo are added to any course that provides free access to all required instructional materials. These are typically shared with students through Canvas. Courses that are designated as ZTC may still require students to purchase supplemental materials such as lab coats, a calculator, art supplies, etc. See full definitions and searching tips on the Zero Textbook Costs page of the college website.
