IT 202 - Advanced CNC

Credit Hours: 3

An advanced course in Computer Numerical Control theory, application, and programming for vertical CNC milling machines and CNC lathes. Students will develop complex part programs used to operate CNC machines. Students will design, develop, program, and produce their own projects in this course.

Course Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

develop a product to be produced;
develop a process plan to program a part produced on a CNC mill and/or lathe;
present a product design for classroom critique;
critique design elements of a product that will be produced on a vertical CNC mill or CNC lathe;
read and interpret with an understanding of advanced CNC programs;
develop programs to face, profile, drill, pocket, and surface a part;
machine multiple, mating parts that produce an assembly;
utilize MasterCam Software to write programs;
graph edit, and troubleshoot programs;
create, enter, and save CNC programs; and
transfer and run a program in safe mode utilizing features such as a single block with reduced speeds and feeds.
