Machine Tool Technology - Linn State Technical College

Machine Tool Technology from Linn State Technical College is a Campus Associate Engineering General degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. Precision. Quality. High-speed machining. That's what it takes to create many of the items in your home and office. And if the items weren't created by precision machining technology , then the machinery and equipment needed to produce these products were developed using it. In our program, students are taught how to select the right machining process, plan that process and operate computer numerical control (CNC) and manual precision machine tools to create parts or products. Our state-of-the-art lab includes 4- and 5-Axis machining centers, CNC milling machines and lathes, a three-dimensional printer, electrical discharge machining (EDM) equipment and other industry standard equipment for students to use in hands-on labs. All labs are supervised by instructors with industry experience. The precision machining capstone projects help to prepare students for a challenging career in this high demand field. With your degree , you can choose careers including machining, CNC programming, mold/die making, quality control, or machine tool manufacturing. The Machine Tool Technology program contributes to the green economy by recycling steel, aluminum, carbide inserts, brass and copper wire. Biodegradable metal cutting fluids and solutions are used to help reduce water, air, and soil contamination. The Machine Tool Technology program is certified with the National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS) and accredited by the Association of Technology, Management, and Applied Engineering (ATMAE). Program Mission The mission of the Machine Tool Technology program is to prepare students with the skills, knowledge, and attributes required for the completion of an Associate of Applied Science degree in the Machine Tool Technology field.
