Students in the Machine Tool Technology, A.A.S. program study that portion of the manufacturing arena that actually produces the
parts that go into the products sold throughout the world. Machinists set up and operate
a vast variety of machine tools from basic lathes to advanced computer numerically
controlled (CNC) machining centers. In today’s highly automated, high precision environment,
the machinist needs a comprehensive knowledge of mathematics, precision measurement,
CNC programming, and communication skills. Machinists must understand the working
properties of metals such as steel, cast iron, aluminum and the effect heat treating
has on their properties. They must be able to read complicated blueprints, translating
these images into machined objects.
Graduates will be able to write and edit programs; run parts on a CNC machining center; use basic machining equipment and tools; calculate and identify proper tool geometry, feeds, speeds, screw threads, and tapers to machine parts of various materials; design simple jigs and fixtures; read and inspect parts made to drawing specifications; draw parts of various types and process them with MasterCam software.
The Mechanical Technology: CAD Design A.A.S. program represents a blend of applied design theory with the most recent innovations in Computer-Aided
Design (CAD), Rapid Prototyping, Computer Numerical Control and traditional industrial
practices. Initial courses focus on topics common to all technical fields, including mathematics,
engineering graphics, machine tools, and basic electricity. Subsequent courses become
more specialized as students apply computer technology to problems related to machine
design and automation.
Graduates are prepared to use a CAD system for design, manufacture, and analysis; select materials, and design mechanical components and systems; perform technician assignments involving measurements, test equipment, data recording and analysis; communicate and understand technical terminology; use word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation software; and recognize and use project management techniques.
The Mechatronics A.A.S. program is designed for those looking to enter the workforce as a process control
technician, industrial maintenance technician, or general technical support position.
Our dedicated professors will provide you with traditional classroom coursework, hands-on
lessons, active learning coursework, and industrial internship opportunities.
