Precision Machining and CNC Technology - Certificate
Precision Machining and CNC Technology - Certificate
West Burlington Campus, and select courses available at the Keokuk Campus
Program Information
The Precision Machining and CNC Technology program is designed to provide students with the skills necessary to enter the production environment as entry level computer numeric controls programmers or production technicians. The program provides broad theoretical and hands-on education for those seeking careers in the production field, emphasizing various levels of the production process.
Each level builds upon the previous section, continuing the students' education and knowledge base of the production process.
Students will learn skills in safety, 2D and 3D production design, machining and quality control with an emphasis placed on emerging trends including 5-axis design and machining principles.
The OSHA 10 General Industry card is awarded upon the successful completion of the MFG-212 course.

CAD-101 - Introduction to CAD
|
Lecture: 1 |
Lab: 2 |
Credit: 3 |
An introduction to computer aided design and drafting. Actual hands-on experience in designing, drawing and dimensioning using CAD micro-based CAD software. The course presents logical step-by-step instruction about the CAD commands, mode settings, drawing aids, shortcuts and other valuable characteristics of CAD. Finished copies of the students’ work will be made on a printer or plotter.
DRF-113 - Fundamentals of Technical Drafting
|
Lecture: 1 |
Lab: 2 |
Credit: 3 |
Fundamentals of drawing techniques conveyed using free hand sketching. Emphasis is placed on the ability to visualize in three dimensions, neatness, accuracy, legibility, speed and use of computer graphics in the solution of graphic problems.
MAT-702 - Introduction to Math Applications
|
Lecture: 2 |
Lab: 1 |
Credit: 3 |
This course is offered to students who can profit from an applied course in mathematics and will prepare students who need to develop skills for MAT-704. It is designed as an introductory level algebra course recommended for students with one year of high school algebra. Emphasis is on the building of basic algebra skills and the application of these mathematical techniques. The course studies the relationship of geometry and algebra as they apply to various fields. This course will also cover whole numbers/decimals, integers, fractions/percents, direct measurement, basic geometric concepts/relationships, linear equations and right-triangle trigonometry. Prerequisite: MAT-052 or meet minimum placement testing requirements.
MFG-212 - Basic Machine Theory
|
Lecture: 1 |
Lab: 2 |
Credit: 3 |
Introduction to basic machining processes involving drill press, lathe, mills, drills, saws, bench tools, measuring tools and grinders. Classes will cover safety, tooling, metal removal methods and different various pieces of equipment. The course will introduce the national OSHA safety standards, and upon completion of this course, students will receive the OSHA 10 General Industry card.
MFG-398 - Introduction to Machine Shop
|
Lecture: 2 |
Lab: 1 |
Credit: 3 |
Beginning machine shop course focusing on operation, inspection, safety and developing process plans for optimal metal removal. Introductory surface grinding, milling, and lathe operations with layout work.
SOC-114 - Conflict Resolution in the Workplace
|
Lecture: 3 |
Credit: 3 |
Conflict Resolution in the Workplace will study conflict resolution theories and applications in the workplace. The course will provide students with the opportunity to develop their own effective interpersonal conflict resolution skills as well as skills needed to help employees resolve their conflicts with one another and the skills needed to negotiate contracts. Students will also be introduced to theories and skills needed to apply culturally sensitive principles to conflict resolution.
