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: Machinist, First Line Supervisor/Manager of Production, Tool and Die Maker

DEGREES AVAILABLE: Associate of Applied Science. Availability of degrees varies by campus. Contact your campus of interest below for more information.
