Sinclair Community College

Computer Aided Manufacturing/Project STEP II (CAMPS.S.CRT)

36.0 Credit Hours

A nine-month intensive training program offered by Sinclair Community College in cooperation with the Dayton Tooling and Manufacturing Association, the Computer Aided Manufacturing certificate completion prepares a graduate for employment in the machining industry as well as career advancement. To enroll for the certificate beginning in August and finishing in May, a student must meet with and be approved by the STEP II program coordinator. The student who is accepted into the program will receive 25-30 hours of classroom and laboratory instruction per week as well as producing for personal-use tools valued at approximately $1,500. Classes are available evenings to accommodate students who are unable to attend during the day.
