Overview At the heart of many industrial processes is machine tool technology. This program trains you for various positions relating to machining in industrial production and maintenance environments. Additional training and experience often lead to supervisory, quality assurance, and tool maker positions. You will learn to shape various materials into intricate, precise, usable parts. You will also learn to work from blueprints and written specifications and to select the proper machinery, materials, and tools to accomplish the task. This program emphasizes precision measurement with micrometers, dial indicators, optical comparators, and gauges. Machine tools, such as lathes, mills, grinders, computers, and computer-controlled machines (CNC), will be used to produce parts. |
