This two-year program is designed to help students acquire and develop skills
necessary to work in the manufacturing industry. The course integrates theory
and practical applications in a fully equipped machine shop facility. Students
study machining processes and procedures, properties of metals, blueprint
reading, applied math, inspection techniques, computer-aided manufacturing utilizing MasterCAM software, and the
operation of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines. The CNC equipment
includes vertical and horizontal machining centers as well as CNC lathes with
live tooling. When appropriate, students may be assigned to a cooperative
work station in industry.
To earn an Associate of Applied Science Degree, the student must complete all
