The course is designed to introduce students to Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining by learning how to use CAM software, understanding machining costs, setting up CNC machines, writing and testing programs, and producing parts. 

Tuition Waiver Requirements 

To determine if you qualify for the tuition waiver, please follow the steps below during registration:

1. When prompted with the question “Are you HRD Fee Waiver Eligible?” select YES.

2. You will then be asked to choose one of the following options that applies to you:

   • I am currently unemployed

   • I have received notification of a pending layoff

   • I am working and eligible for the Federal Earned Income Tax Credit

   • I am working and earn wages at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty guidelines

Selecting one of these options activates the tuition waiver and makes the course free.  If this step is not completed, a $125 fee will be required at the time of registration.
