Mechanical Techniques - CNC Ontario College Certificate
ObjectivesThe Mechanical Techniques - CNC Ontario College Certificate program provides the graduate with the necessary knowledge and skills to work on machines and equipment that use computer numerical control technology. Training is provided 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 this 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. Graduates of this program will have experience in process planning, machine set-up, basic programming, troubleshooting, and computer numerical controlled machining. Additional courses such as communications and workplace skills will allow the student to develop strategies for success and examine important issues they will face in today's world of work.

CADD-3023 - Computer Aided Design 2
This course is an introduction to using CAD software package to create drawings. The students will learn the essential skills to create 3D solid parts, and working drawings.
COMM-1004 - Language & Communication Skills 1
COMM 1004 provides the student with an opportunity to establish skills in reading, writing and editing documents for work-related and personal uses. Students will also practice important study/reading skills and apply grammar rules.
COMM-1075 - Workplace Skills 1
This course will cover the essential employability skills required to succeed in today's workplace. Emphasis will be placed on team building, conflict resolution, personal management skills and ethics in business.
COMP-1336 - Computer Literacy
This course will introduce students to various computer concepts, including Hardware, Operating Systems, Word Processing, and Spreadsheets. Through lecture and hands-on classes, the student will learn each module's everyday uses and apply them to their courses.
DRAF-1056 - Blueprint Reading
This basic course introduces the student to mechanical blueprint reading. Topics covered will include lines, dimensioning, tolerances, types of projection and methods to interpret working drawings.
HIST-1026 - The History of Manufacturing
The intent of this course is to give students an understanding of the development of modern manufacturing. The course will highlight the key aspects of manufacturing in a historical context and relate them to modern day needs. The last few sessions will be spent examining how the role of modern maintenance has developed in the last 100 years.
MACH-1129 - Jig & Machine Theory
