PROGRAM GOALS
CAD/CAM mechanical technicians decide how a
product is to be manufactured, what types of machines are to be used, and the machining sequence required to manufacture components to industrial standards. This program prepares graduates to become Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) specialists, Computerized
Numerical Control (CNC) programmers, General
Machinist/CNC, quality control persons or CMM
operators in the mouldmaking, tool and die, jig and
fixture, and machine tool construction industries.
This program targets students who are critical thinkers and able to solve problems. They need mechanical
aptitude with the ability to work independently, or as a member of a small team. Although CAM is the main focus of this program, a robust series of CAD courses is
included to maximize the success of the student which offers them a competitive edge for employment.
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Graduates find excellent job opportunities as CNC
operators/programmers, CMM operators, CAD designers/ drafters, quality control persons and apprentices in the mouldmaking, machine tool construction, and jig and
fixture industries.
