CNC/Tool and Die Technologies CNC - Moraine Park Technical College

CNC/Tool and Die Technologies CNC from Moraine Park Technical College is a Campus Certificate Computer Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. Program Description Moraine Park?s CNC/Tool and Die Technologies program combines skills from the CNC Programming and Tool and Die Making disciplines. First-year students: operate machine tools (lathes, milling machines, grinders, drill presses); read blueprints; perform entry-level CNC programming; operate two-dimensional computer-aided machining; use measuring equipment; and build jigs and fixtures. Students prepare for a lean manufacturing environment. Students select the CNC or Tool and Die track for the second year of study. The CNC track focuses on: programming Coordinate Measuring Equipment (CMM); programming/operation of both vertical and horizontal machining centers as well as turning centers; three-dimensional computer-aided machining; and electrical discharge machining (EDM) both ram and wire. Students also study programming of water jets and lasers. Representatives from business and industry have identified skills that are essential to success in manufacturing. Students will be expected to demonstrate the critical core manufacturing skills throughout all the manufacturing classes. The critical core manufacturing skills include: work cooperatively, work productively, listen effectively, demonstrate a positive attitude, maintain a safe work environment, demonstrate integrity, communicate clearly, follow directions, apply problem solving strategies, apply mathematical reasoning, think critically and adapt to change.
