Aerospace Machining Technology

YVC’s Aerospace Machining Technology Program allows students to pursue an associate of applied science (AAS) degree or certifcates in machining technology or computer numerical control (CNC) operation. Students learn the skills required to plan and carry out the operations needed to make aerospace machined products that meet precise specifcations. Course instruction covers blueprint reading, manual machining, computerized machining, metrology, quality control, engineering drawing, CADD and CAM software, as well as CMM programming.

“YVC’s program ofers students a well-rounded introduction into the aerospace industry. After completing the two-year AAS program students are able to design their part on a CAD/CAM program, machine the part on CNC machines, and inspect the part using a CMM,” stated Engineering Instructor Rajkumar Raj. The need for skilled workers in manufacturing is expected to grow and the industry is facing a shortage. YVC’s degree and certifcates prepare students for entry-level positions in the manufacturing industry. To learn more visit: www.yvcc.edu/machining.
