Machinists design and create precision parts and tools that are essential to an enormous amount of industries ranging from aeronautics, plastics, shipbuilding, and engineering, among many others. These parts and tools are manufactured through the use of lathes, drill presses, milling machines and grinders, many of which are Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machines. The Machine Technology program provides students the opportunity to learn all the skills demanded of the 21st Century machinist. Students follow a course sequence that starts with the basics of manual machining and progresses to advanced multi-axis CNC programming, setup, and operation. Qualified and skilled machinists are presently in high demand and students completing our program are ready to immediately enter the workforce or continue their education in college.
