Precision Machining Technology
Precision Machining Technology leading to a Technical Certificate or AAS, is a program that provides individuals with the skills to fabricate and/or repair metal products using a variety of metalworking equipment and processes. Students enrolled in our machining program are prepared to enter the workforce as entry-level machinists. This involves learning the skills and techniques needed to interpret blueprints, set up manual machines, perform basic and advanced machining operations, and make decisions to ensure that work quality is maintained. Employment opportunities for machining technicians exist in manufacturing industries, public institutions, governmental agencies, and in a wide range of specialty machining job shops.
