2 Status Study of South Texas and Northern Mexico Technical Colleges Offering CAD/CAM/CNC Programs Compared to an Advanced Manufacturing Program in CAD/CAM/CNC Abstract Significant steps have been taken by South Texas and Northern Mexico technical colleges to implement advanced manufacturing training in their programs. This fact can be attributed to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) which has brought immense industrial growth in the last two decades to South Texas and Northern Mexico industries. 1 The growth of manufacturing industries in this region is putting demand on the technical colleges to offer advanced manufacturing programs. This study presents the program offerings and the degree of the advanced manufacturing adaptation by South Texas and Northern Mexico technical colleges. Introduction The Computer Aided Drafting, Computer Aided Manufacturing, and Computer Numerical Control (CAD/CAM/CNC) process is an advanced manufacturing system that is widely used to manufacture a range of products. The process consists of various design based components which include modeling and prototyping, CAM processing, and generating G-code programs. 2,3 The G-code program is used to run a variety of CNC driven machine tools such as CNC mills and CNC lathes to create parts. The ability of part production solely depends on the machinist s mastery of all processes. Using the CAD/CAM/CNC system as an effective tool cannot be achieved unless a machinist has acquired an in-depth understanding of the CAD/CAM/CNC process through an advanced technical degree offered by a technical college that provides training in that field. An Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) in advanced manufacturing is earned upon successfully completing both required general education and core technical coursework. Table 1 shows the required credit hours for each course to complete an advanced manufacturing degree in Northwestern Michigan College. The college trains machinists for the auto industry and is identified as a leading technical college in advanced manufacturing offering CAD/CAM/CNC training. Job opportunities as a CAD designer or 3D solid modeler, CNC or CAM programmer, CNC operator, or combination of these technologies are available upon completion of an advanced manufacturing degree. Advanced manufacturing graduates are also ready to transfer to bachelor s degree program in technology or engineering to continue their education.

The MasterCam Lathe II is computer assisted CNC programming using MasterCam software. Students create and edit advanced geometry for the purpose of creating CNC programs. Students explore advanced applications of turning tools and the operations of grooving, threading, and inside diameter and outside diameter turned parts. Extensive exploration of spindle and feed rate options are undertaken to enhance student understanding of turning applications. Monterrey s Electronic School (Escuela Electrónica Monterrey ESEM): ESEM is a technical school located in downtown Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, in the Northern Mexico area. The curricula should prepare students for a variety of employment opportunities. ESEM offers short, objective, and productive courses. The school offers the 10 most requested technical careers requested by companies; the program durations are four, five, or six semesters long depending on specialty. The programs are short compared to professional careers, and they are practical because the programs are combined with theory and practice, taking place in workshops and laboratories of the institution. The Machining and Tooling Technician program offered by ESEM requires 69 credit hours for graduation with 15 credit hours of general education, 18 credit hours or six classes related to the supporting fields of machining technology, 24 credit hours of basic to advanced manual machining of various machine tool operations, and 12 hours of CNC and CAD/CAM training including CAD I, CAD II, CNC/CAM I, and CNC/CAM II classes. Table 2 shows the study plan of the Machining and Tooling Technician program of the ESEM. Training in different machine tools, with emphasis in equipment safety standards, knowledge and skills in the use of the lathe, milling, drilling, grinding and bench tools that are used in manufacturing are offered. The program provides training in repairing molds, dies, and parts in general that are required in the metalworking industry. The program is divided into five semesters. The first semester focuses on the introduction to the machining lab, introduction to safety standards, tools and accessories, rules and scales, plant layout planning, metal characteristics, drilling machine, lathe I, milling I, router I, planer I, grinding I, and CAD I. The CAD I is an introduction course in engineering graphics which highlights the use of the computer as an instrument in the efficient application of essential drafting principles and techniques. This course initiates the student into drafting and drafting principles by highlighting the important use of microcomputers, plotters, digitizers, software, and other related materials. The second semester focuses on machining materials, cutting machines, thermal treatments, emery, sharpening machines, drills, drill bits, fastening devices, threads, lathe II, milling II, and CAD II. The CAD II course is a continuation of CAD I and provides highly developed aptitudes for design and drafting. The third semester focuses on lathe III, cutting machines, thread and taper cutting, milling III, special machining, and pieces recovery. The fourth semester focuses on lathe IV, chuck, milling
7 IV, boring head and display, head driver, gears, generating gears, metals, and CNC/CAM I. The CNC/CAM I is an intensive two-part course.

The CAM course offered in the last semester is an introduction to the computer assisted part of programming as it applies to CNC, and its various types of programming systems. The student is expected to demonstrate a measurable level of skill in the geometry definition of the CAM system, post processor knowledge to modify CNC code, and application of CAD to generate CNC code.
9 Findings of the Study Evidence suggests the directional goals of South Texas technical colleges are to establish technology programs offering advanced training in conventional shop machinist and maintenance machinist for local industries. South Texas College (STC) in McAllen is the only technical college in South Texas offering Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing, Drafting for Special Occupations, and Machine Drafting. The lack of computer aided design, 3D modeling and assembly drawing is evident in all the South Texas machine technology programs. In an advanced manufacturing program like the one offered by Northwest Michigan College, a minimum of 18 hours of drafting and design courses are included in the degree plan. South Texas College in McAllen is the only technical school in South Texas that requires DFTG 1313 Drafting for Special Occupations and DFTG 2402 Machine Drafting. The Northern Mexico technical colleges show some evidence of computer aided design, 3D modeling and assembly drawing in their programs. This fact is more evident in the International Industry Institute located in Saltillo Mexico. In an advanced manufacturing program a minimum of 18 hours of drafting and design courses is included in the degree plan. In the Northern Mexico colleges the maximum number of related design courses for the CAM process does not reach 18 hours. Also, the curriculum used in different colleges is totally different and there is no standardization evident in technical curricula taught in the Northern Mexico technical colleges. Implementing required technology coursework in advanced manufacturing programs in South Texas and Northern Mexico technical colleges will significantly improve educational standards and career opportunities for residents of South Texas and Northern Mexico. The long term impact of integrating advanced manufacturing programs with CAD/CAM/CNC training will increase both scientific and technological literacy, while increasing standards of living and improving the quality of life in the region.
