The Machine Tool Technology program provides training for students who plan to enter the machine trades field and upgrading for those in the field who desire additional skills. The program is competency based, allowing students to enter at their own level and progress at their own pace. Hands-on learning is stressed, allowing students to take as many laboratory hours as possible.
