CNC Machinist Part 1 Microcredential

Stackable to Degree Program

This microcredential aligns with requirements for the Machine Tool Technology A.A.S. should students choose to continue their education after obtaining the microcredential.

Microcredential Outline

This curriculum was designed and was approved by SUNY CCC governance.

There is a need for the availability of shorter non-degree credentials in the Machining discipline. In response to needs identified by SUNY CCC’s Workforce Education personnel who are interfacing with local industry supplying technical training. The purpose for the microcredential is to build on the skills gained to give the student skills needed to program and operate CNC Mills and Lathes. Students will learn more sophisticated programming, learn and use industry standard MasterCAM programming to generate the code necessary to program CNC machines to efficiently make parts to specifications.

The CNC Machinist Part 1 Microcredential is 8 credits and comprised of the following courses.

MACH 2380: Mastercam I (3 cr.)

Introduces the principles and procedures used in PC based CAD/CAM part programming. Uses Mastercam, a PC-based CAD/CAM system, to produce complex machined parts from detailed drawings on advanced CNC machine tools. Topics include basic and advanced CAD/CAM principles and procedures and identification, demonstration and application of machine shop safety equipment and procedures. Lecture/laboratory. Prerequisites: TECH 1080 or MACH 1040; MECH 1050 and 1560. Lab fee.

MACH 2400: CNC Machining (5 cr.)

Use of advanced CNC machine tools in the manufacture of metal parts. Emphasis on automatic tool changers, multiple work coordinates, tapping, machining and tool monitoring. Advanced programming using sub-routines and helical interpolation for three and four axis machining centers. Identification, demonstration and application of machine shop safety equipment and procedures. Lecture/laboratory. Prerequisites: MECH 1560 and MACH 1040. Lab fee.
