MECH 076A - Computer Aided Machining I - Units 3

Prerequisites: MECH-074A Computer Numerical Controlled Machining I with a grade of "C" or better.

This course is based on the knowledge and skills learned in MECH 74A & 74B, Computer Numerical Control I & II. The course combines the study of machine tool theory, blueprint reading, and related mathematics with hands-on shop experience. The emphasis of the course focuses on the use of Computer-Aided Drafting/Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) software to program Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machine tools. The student will develop computer generated drawings, define tool paths, and generate Computer Numerical Control (CNC) code.
