The purpose of the two-year Machine Tool Technology curriculum is to prepare students for entry into the machining occupations. Students participating in the program will spend considerable time in study and actual operation of industrial equipment and tools used by machinists. The program is designed to offer a broad background of experiences in the metalworking occupations. NIMS are nationally recognized skill standards established by companies involved in the various metals manufacturing trades. Students are expected to have a set of machinist tools.
Admission is based on date of application and satisfactory completion of placement criteria.
Many opportunities exist in the manufacturing industries for the machinist. See advisers for details. Students interested in transferring to O.I.T. should consult with program advisers early in the first quarter. See pages 13-17 of the printed catalog.
