This is a skill-oriented course to provide hands-on practice on CNC machinists. Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) Programmers operate factory machines that turn raw materials into functional objects. They are responsible for reading and interpreting design blueprints, programming the CNC machine, and adjusting the machine settings until the desired specifications are met.
