Machine Tool Technology

Major

Overview

Take apart a car engine or a washing machine, and what do you find? Parts, all kinds of parts. With a major in machine tool technology, the parts you make will be at the heart of machines of all kinds, from guitars to jets.

Working with everything from hand tools to CNC (computer-numerically-controlled) machines, you’ll learn to make precision parts from blueprints and other specifications. You’ll learn how to inspect, test, and repair parts and machines. And you’ll learn how to play it safe on the job -- right down to the goggles.
