Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

The Associate in Applied Science Degree with a major in Machine Tool Technology prepares students for entry-level careers working in modern machining manufacturing environments. Students are trained to make precision components using CNC (Computer Numerical Controlled) and conventional machining equipment. In addition, students also receive training in metallurgical heat treatment, blue print reading, GD&T (Geometrical Dimensioning and Tolerancing), CAD/CAM systems and precision measuring instruments. The student may also choose to specialize in Tool & Die.

Student enrolling in an Associate Degree for Machine Tool Technology will begin by enrolling in and completing the 1-year Diploma portion. Upon that completion, students will transition into the second portion which is the Associate degree for the program. This transition will take place through advisement from your Academic Advisor.
