>> I am currently a CNC programmer and most
of the stuff that I've learned here is stuff that
I use every day at work.

Control, which means that you're using a computer to

>> Students are learning to set up the machines,
run the machines, program the machines,
troubleshoot problems.
Someone that's mechanically-inclined and
understands spatial abilities,
be able to look at a two-dimensional drawing
and see that picture or see that image in a

>> The thing that I like about it the most is being
able to draw something on a computer,
see a digital model of it, and then go out and
produce it in the real world.

We start with a print, end up with a finished

what you're going to be doing in the real world.
>> It's a really unique time for someone who has a
good set of skills.
>> There's definitely work out there.
People are begging for skilled workers.
