| 420-325 | Basic CNC Mill Programming | 5 | (420-322 or concurrent) or 420-324 This course is designed to prepare the student for entry-level skills in programming, setup, and operation of CNC milling machines. Repetitive operational tasks will be performed as students acquire knowledge and skill in setting-up and operating CNC milling machines. Students will develop and apply skills in setting and testing work and tool offsets, performing manual data input functions, loading programs, and the running of proven CNC programs. Programming examples will be covered using canned cycles, linear and circular interpolation, cutter compensation, subroutines, and multiple fixture offsets, etc. Projects will be assigned and completed using Haas Mini and VF series vertical mills. |

| 420-332 | CNC Equations 1 | 1 | This course applies foundational mathematical principles and techniques to solve problems encountered in the machining industry. The learner strengthens skills in performing arithmetic operations with real numbers using the correct order of operations and rounding to reasonable place values. The learner develops proficiency in applying ratios, rates, proportions, and percentages to technical applications and measurement conversions within and between the U.S. customary and metric systems. Furthermore, the learner demonstrates knowledge by solving linear equations using algebraic techniques, and applying geometric concepts—including perimeter, area, surface area, volume, coordinate systems, and right-triangle trigonometry—to 2D and 3D shapes. CNC Equations 1 will build a basic foundation for math used in CNC machining. |
