Diploma in Mechanical Technician - CNC/CAM (MNC1S)

The Mechanical Technician - CNC/CAM program provides the student with the necessary knowledge and skills to work in the modern machining environment.  In the technician program, the emphasis will be on using software and equipment to develop programs using computer aided machining software.  Graduates of this program will have experience in process planning, machine set-up, programming, troubleshooting, implementing quality control procedures and computer numerical controlled machining.  Technicians must also possess good communication skills and work well in a team environment. In the first year of the program, the student will receive training in conventional machining through courses such as machine trade theory, machine shop, mechanical blueprint reading and applied mathematics.  Since computers play an important role in the profession, the courses offered in the program will include an overview of computer applications, numerical control technology and computer aided design in both 2D and 3D modes.

The program has been designed, in consultation with our industry partners, to develop and reinforce important employability skills.
