The Computer Integrated Machining (CIM) curriculum prepares 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.
Coursework may 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 employment as machining technicians in high-tech manufacturing, rapid-prototyping and rapid-manufacturing industries, specialty machine shops, fabrication industries, and hightech or emerging industries such as aerospace, aviation, medical, and renewable energy, and to sit for machining certification examinations.
Program Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of the Computer Integrated Machining program, the graduate should be able to:
- Write CNC code for machined parts
- Complete CNC machine setups
- Complete projects using milling machines, bench grinders, power saws, lathes, drill press, and surface grinders
- Complete drawings to develop CAD/CAM and CNC programs
- Produce rapid prototyping models
- Use industry standards to determine the quality of manufactured parts
