MACHINE TOOL TECHNOLOGY

DEGREE: Associate in Applied Science with a major in Machine Tool Technology

The Machine Tool Technology program is designed to teach manufacturing processes and methods using both manual and computer-controlled machine tools. Basic skills will be developed on a variety of machine tools such as lathes, milling machines, Wire EDM and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines.

Machinists perform some or all of the following tasks: -Study and draw blueprints or written plans of the part to be made -Set up and operate a variety of machine tools to make parts to specified tolerances -Fit and assemble parts to make a functional machine or tool -Measure work using micrometers, depth gauges and calipers -Program machines including Wire EDM, CNC Mill, and CNC Lathes.

Employment opportunites include machinist, tool inspector, and tool and die maker, methods technician, manufacturing process technician, quality and production control technician.
