CNC Technician and Fabrication Specialist
1 week ago
Program Overview:
This certificate program is tailored to equip you for entry-level positions in computer numerical control (CNC) machining across various sectors, including manufacturing, defense, aerospace, construction, marine, and collectibles.
Understanding CNC Machining:
CNC machining involves utilizing sketches, blueprints, and digital files to program CNC machines such as mills, routers, grinders, and lathes. These machines are responsible for creating, modifying, and repairing components, including:
- Computer components
- Parts for marine, aerospace, automotive, and aviation industries
- Military apparatus
- Screws for medical devices
If you have a passion for technology, problem-solving skills, and a keen attention to detail, CNC machining could be an excellent career path for you.
What Will You Learn?
Our CNC Technician and Fabrication College Credit Certificate (CCC) program has been developed in collaboration with local industry leaders to ensure you acquire the essential skills that employers seek.
This program covers:
• Safety and quality assurance practices
• Proficiency in computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD and CAM) software
• Effective use of hand tools
• Operation and maintenance of manual and CNC machinery
The CNC Technician College Credit Certificate (CCC) comprises four courses, which also serve as technical electives for the Engineering Technology A.S. degree at Eastern Florida.
Program Structure:
This 12-credit hour program spans multiple semesters, as the skills acquired in the hands-on machining courses build progressively. Successful completion of prerequisite courses is necessary before advancing in the sequence.
If you hold either the Certified SolidWorks Associate (CSWA) or Certified SolidWorks Professional (CSWP) certification, consult with an advisor regarding potential credit for ETDC 2364: SolidWorks Fundamentals, a required course for the CNC Technician certificate.
Tuition Information:
In-state tuition for the CNC program is approximately $1,250 (plus lab fees), making it a cost-effective choice for those looking to embark on a new career with a promising return on investment.
While this 12-credit certificate program is not eligible for federal financial aid due to its short duration, students may utilize Florida Bright Futures Scholarships, Florida Prepaid, or the Nelnet Payment Plan for tuition. Additionally, Veterans Educational Benefits, Titan Scholarships, and external scholarships may be available.
Courses You'll Undertake:
Are you interested in fabricating mechanical assemblies or components using CNC lathes and machining centers? You will have the opportunity to complete the four courses required for the CNC Technician certificate program:
- Advanced Machining 1:
Explore machining theory while learning about sheet metal fabrication techniques, riveting tools, and the correct use of manual lathes and mills. - Advanced Machining 2:
Dive into programming, linear/polar coordinate systems, and tool paths for CNC lathes and vertical milling machines. Create projects using CAD/CAM geometry and learn to use SolidWorks for building and modifying parametric models of parts and assemblies.
Why Choose Eastern Florida State College for CNC Training?
There are numerous compelling reasons to enroll in EFSC's CNC Technician program:
• Access to a state-of-the-art, interactive CNC machining lab.
• Instruction from highly trained faculty members.
• Opportunities to hear from industry professionals.
