Precision Manufacturing and Machining Technology is an instructional program that prepares individuals to manufacture metal parts on machines such as lathes, grinders, drill presses, milling machines, and Computer Numerical Control equipment. Included is instruction in making computations related to work dimensions, testing, feeds, and speeds of machines; using precision measuring instruments such as layout tools, micrometers, and gauges; machining and heat-treating various metals; and laying out machine parts. Also included is instruction in the operation and maintenance of computerized equipment.
Precision Manufacturing and Machining Technology is an articulated program designed to provide advanced and technical skills to its students. Entry into the postsecondary program is based upon mastery of Baseline Competencies which are taught in the secondary programs. Students who do not possess such skills must complete additional coursework in order to graduate from the program.
Special admissions requirements: Students who wish to enroll in the Precision Manufacturing and Machining Technology program must:
- Students must submit necessary records and credentials prior to the semester of entrance including, but not limited to, a current negative 5-panel drug screen.
- Students must provide their own tools. Please see adviser for current tool list.
A student successfully completing the technical program will receive an Associate of Applied Science degree. Students in the program will complete NIMS credentialing.
