Description:
The Machine Tool Technology major offers both theoretical and hands-on training related to lathes, vertical mills, drill press, hand tools, Computer Numeric Control (CNC) lathes and mills, and Computer Aided Machining (CAM). A student enrolling in the program should have the desire and ability to work with his or her hands, possess a high degree of mechanical aptitude and enjoy working in a shop environment.
Technological advances and continued expansion of the machine tool industry have increased the demands for well trained entry level technicians both locally and state-wide. Individuals with knowledge of CNC lathes and mills and CAM are especially in demand. For students interested in a Certificate of Achievement, a Machine Tool certificate is available.
Individuals who complete the Machine Tool program should be able to find employment as an entry level Machine Tool apprentice, CNC technician, or machine operator. Graduates can find employment in a variety of areas, including machine shops, manufacturing industries, industrial machinery and equipment, measuring and controlling devices, and beverage product manufacturers.
Upon successful completion of this program, the student will be able to:
- Demonstrate safe operation of hand tools, power tools and specialized machine shop tools and equipment;
- demonstrate the set up and operation of manual lathes and mills;
- interpret CNC (Computer Numeric Control) programming language;
- accurately analyze and interpret blueprints and create part(s) to specifications;
- interpret blueprints and GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing) symbols in order to verify dimensions of a machine part; and
- describe applications of design, manufacturing, and fabrication applicable to non-ferrous metals.
