Machinist
Certificate of Achievement Machine Tool Technology · Chabot College · 2026-2027 Catalog
Description
This program introduces students to the fundamentals of machining and additive manufacturing. Students who complete this course of study will be able to read and create blueprints using industry standard Solidworks software, operate manual and computer numerically controlled (CNC) equipment to fabricate complex and highly precise parts, how to use precision measurement tools and techniques, and to digitally create and 3D print custom objects and assemblies.
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon the successful completion of this program, students should be able to:
- Demonstrate the expertise needed to read a blueprint for a simple part, create a process plan for fabricating that part, and execute that process plan to machine a part within specifications, including features of +/- .001” or less.
- Demonstrate the ability to read and write g-code and create and operate CNC equipment with and without the aid of computer aided design (CAD) and computer aided manufacturing (CAM) software.
