Applied Technology - Advanced Processes
Feeds, speeds and rapid prototyping
Sound exciting? It should!
Today’s manufacturing industries offer a fast-paced environment where there is never a dull moment. And the same can be said of our Advanced Processes program.
We provide laser-sharp (literally), industry-sanctioned training in computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software and computer numerical control (CNC).
That means CAD-CAM software that can design and produce 3D models and CNC machines that can make cuts accurate to 10,000
th
of an inch.
We maintain working relationships with local manufacturers to make sure we get it right so when you complete our program, your skills will be as precise as the tools of your trade!

As many jobs as products
In our program, choose to earn a certificate or an associate degree – you can always come back for the latter.
Either way, you will discover the diverse opportunities offered in manufacturing, where the products include everything from artificial limbs to aircraft parts.
Not to mention string guitars, hot rod cars, and cell phones and chargers.
With the skills and knowledge you gain in this program, you’ll be qualified for CNC programming positions in a variety of industries, including:
Aerospace
Automotive
Defense
Industrial
Medical
