Machine Tool Technology

Virtually all manufactured products depend on America’s precision machining industry at some point during their production. The Machine Tool Technology program was developed from employer input—employers who know the demand for solid training in this specialized field of metal cutting operations for the creation of machined parts, specialized tooling molds, dies and prototypes.

Sample careers in this field: First line supervisor, machinist, production/operations manager, tool and die maker

Curriculum varies based on the degree (A.A.S., A.S., or Technical Certificate) and is subject to change. Curriculum posted are samples; Advisors can help determine sequence of classes.
