Industrial Machine Technology (AAS, CAS)
In this program, students learn to design and create intricate components, mastering techniques that transform raw materials into precision metal parts, tools, and instruments using computer-controlled and manual mills and lathes. From CNC programming to hands-on machining, you’ll develop skills that turn ideas into reality.
Students can choose from two options:
Certificate of Applied Science (CAS)
Length: 2 semesters
The certificate program emphasizes hands-on machining skills for quick entry into the workforce. This shorter program is ideal for those wanting to work as machinists, CNC operators, or equipment specialists, concentrating on essential shop floor skills and practical machine operation without the additional general education requirements of a full degree.
All the instructors are so welcoming and value the one-on-one connection to learning, and that’s a large reason why I chose to come here after high school.
