If you are a machinist and have minimal experience with CNC machines or machine language program- ming, you will first want to complete the CNC Machine Operator Professional Upgrade Certificate. If you have both machining experience and CNC experi- ence, the software used for the Machine Technology A133 and A134 courses provides excellent experiences in computer-assisted CNC programming. All of our programming courses require the use of a personal-type computer. If you have no computer experience, we strongly suggest you enroll in a basic com- puter use type course first (Computer & High Technology A100 or Computer Information Systems A100). 24 ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCE DEGREE Complete the Certificate of Achievement and Associate in Science Graduation Requirements as outlined in the Graduation Requirements section of the catalog.
