CNC Turning Programming Certificate
Starting January 2008

One-semester, 12-credit sequence teaches you to program CNC turning centers. This curriculum is designed for those who already have basic operating skills. All programs that you write will be proved out on a full-sized, industrial turning center, with emphasis on tooling, speeds and feeds for metal cutting.
