Machine Tool Technology
Machine Tool Technology is a highly diversified area engaged in the production of machined objects required for the assembly of the products of modern industry. A machine tool specialist shapes metal to precise dimensions. Industry's need for competent, technically skilled workers is greater today than at any other time. The technically skilled machinist must be able to read blueprints and transform this information into a part, product, or entire machine.

The machine tool specialist is skillful in the use of tool room and production equipment, including lathes, shapers, grinders, milling machines, saws, and drilling machines. The Two-Year Certificate or Associate of Applied Arts and Sciences Degree requires the core of the student's time to be spent in the Machine Tool field and other time in academic and related studies. You are encouraged to enroll in the machine tool internship any time after the freshman year.
