Case Study: San Diego City College prepares students for machining careers with Mastercam

San Diego Machine Tech Program Leads the Way to Jobs, Puts San Diego City College on the Map

The Machine Technology Program at San Diego City College faced the ongoing challenge of keeping its curriculum current with the latest manufacturing technology to ensure its students graduated with practical, real-world skills demanded by the industry. To meet this need, the program turned to Mastercam and its Education Suite, including the Demo/Home Learning Edition and Dynamic Motion toolpaths.

By implementing Mastercam, instructors are able to teach students both legacy and modern Dynamic toolpaths, making graduates proficient in the industry-standard software used by most Southern California manufacturers. The Mastercam Demo/Home Learning Edition provided a key benefit by allowing students to work on projects at home and update them at school, significantly reducing the time needed to complete assignments. This solution ensures students are highly marketable and prepared for any programming scenario they will encounter in a job shop.
