Machining Technology (MT) is designed to provide each student with the latest technological skills needed for entry in the metalworking occupations.  Students have the opportunity to operate state-of-the-art equipment, such as the Computer Numeric Controlled (CNC) machine.  They also gain experience with the hands-on operation of standard machine tools used in the industry such as: drill presses, metal saws, lathes, milling machines and surface grinders.  Related theory acquaints students with metal cutting applications, material properties, layout work, and construction and assembly of machinery.  The application of mathematics and blueprint reading is also emphasized throughout the course as an integral part of all completed projects and competencies.

The ICTC’s MT program is a fully accredited NIMS (National Institute for Metalworking Skills) training and certification site. Students will have the opportunity to achieve NIMS Level 1 machining credentials as part of the course of study for the MT program.
