Mechanical Techniques - CNC Programming

Program Description

As a student of MATP, you’ll benefit from a curriculum built on hands–on learning. You’ll spend a large portion of your time working in a practical setting, becoming proficient in metal machining operations and planning procedures, with emphasis on practical machining techniques. You’ll be introduced to modern manufacturing processes including Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Programming, Computer Assisted Drafting (CAD, and Computer Assisted Manufacturing (CAM) software. This computer training will enhance your ability to set up and produce pieces in accordance with engineering drawing specifications.

Program Learning Outcomes:

This Seneca College program meets the system-wide standards as set by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.

As a graduate, you will be prepared to reliably demonstrate the ability to:

• Complete all work in compliance with current legislation, standards, regulations and guidelines.
• Contribute to the application of quality control and quality assurance procedures to meet organizational standards and requirements.
• Comply with current health and safety legislation, as well as organizational practices and procedures.
• Support sustainability best practices in workplaces.
• Use current and emerging technologies to support the implementation of mechanical and manufacturing projects.
• Troubleshoot and solve standard mechanical problems by applying mathematics and fundamentals of mechanics.
• Conntribute to the interpretation and preparation of mechanical drawings and other related technical documents.
• Perform routine technical measurements accurately using appropriate instruments and equipment.
• Assist in manufacturing, assembling, maintaining and repairing mechanical components according to required specifications.
• Select, use and maintain machinery, tools and equipment for the installation, manufacturing and repair of basic mechanical components.

Essential Employability Skills:

Graduates of this program are also expected to demonstrate the essential employability skills learning outcomes as outlined on the Ministry of Training, College and Universities website.

Admission Requirements

Program Eligibility:

• Ontario Secondary School Diploma with a majority of senior credits at the College Preparation (C), University Preparation (U) or University/College Preparation (M) level or Mature Student Status (age 19 or older)
• Grade 12 English: ENG4(C) or ENG4(U)
• Grade 12 Mathematics*: MCT4(C) Mathematics for College Technology (recommended grade 60% or over) or Grade 12 (U) Mathematics, MHF4(U) (Advanced Functions) or MCV4(U) (Calculus and Vectors)

* Seneca may also consider applicants with good grades in MAP4(C) or MCR3(U).

Note: All applicants who are offered admission to programs in the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering Technology will have an English and Mathematics skills assessment. The assessments are used for academic placement in English and Mathematics courses that are appropriate to the student’s skill level. In the event a preparatory course is required before enrolling in the standard first semester English or Mathematics, students will automatically be timetabled into the appropriate preparatory course or will be counselled to enroll in the Applied Science and Technology Fundamentals Certificate Program.

Applicant Selection:

• In the event of oversubscription, assignments given at an orientation, previous academic achievement and grades in pre–requisite subjects (or their equivalents) may be used to select candidates.

The Importance of Learning Skills:

Student success in college requires well developed learning skills (such as being able to work independently, participate in a team, be well–organized, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic achievement. While it is expected that applicants would have developed these skills through previous education and life experiences, Seneca offers support to assist students with further development of these important skills. Seminars, workshops and tutoring are available at Seneca's Learning Centres.
