Precision Machining Engineering Technology
Find Your Wings
Precision Machining Engineering Technology is a program designed to teach basic skills required for machinists, advanced machining procedures, CNC programming, and in addition, academic courses needed to complete the AAS degree.
Precision Machining Engineering Technology students receive instruction in lathe and mill operations, computer numerical control programming, print reading, applied mathematics, precision measurement, CNC operation, computer aided design and manufacturing, fixture engineering, process control, and production management.
Upon completion of the program, students receive NIMS and Titans of CNC certifications
Progression: To meet graduation requirements for this program, students must successfully complete the specified courses listed below with a “C” average (GPA of 2.00) or better. A grade of “C” or higher is required in each MST course to progress in the program.
Minimum admission requirements (in addition to general admission requirements) must include one of the following:
- Attain a 16 composite score on the ACT;
- Score a 251 or higher on the ACCUPLACER NG Reading Section and a 230 or higher on the Accuplacer NG Algebra Section
- Earn a “C” or above in Math for Occupational Education (CTE 1113);
- Complete 15 semester hours with a “C” average or above from an accredited college. Developmental coursework does not satisfy this requirement.
Students in the Precision Machining Engineering Technology program must attend MCC full time (15 or more semester credit hours).
