PROGRAM
INFORMATION
Machine Tool Technology prepares the student for a promising
career in the growing metalworking industry as a tool and die
maker, tool inspector, machinist, CNC operator/programmer,
foreman, manufacturing process technician, or quality/
production control technician. Students learn to use standard
machine tools—milling machines, lathes, grinders, drill
presses, and computer numerical control (CNC) equipment.
In addition, students learn how to build tools, dies, jigs,
fixtures, gauges, and intricate mechanisms, and they study the
properties of metals and heat treatment. Graduates are in great
demand because they make the precision parts for the tooling
and machinery used in manufacturing plants.
The Machine Tool Technology program offers the associate
degree and four certificate options. Credit for courses in the
certificates also can be applied toward the associate degree.
SCHEDULING
AND ENTRY OPTIONS
Day and evening classes are available. Although it is best to start
in the Fall Semester when major courses begin, students may
enter any term. Full-time day students usually
complete requirements in five terms.Evening students should
allow at least nine terms to earn the degree. General Education
course requirements can be completed at any time during the
program. Courses can be completed in any order subject to the
completion of course prerequisites.
