Associate in Applied Science, Industrial Systems Technology - Machine Tool Technology

Student Learning Outcomes

Students graduating from NACC with an AAS in Machine Tool Technology will have the knowledge, skills, abilities, and certifications necessary to gain entry-level employment in manufacturing industries that utilize machine tools to produce precision components. Graduates of the MTT program will be able to:
 

• Demonstrate the ability to accurately and efficiently program, set-up, and operate lathes and milling machines to produce component parts that meet industry standards of precision and accuracy.
  • In a designated lab assignment, students will produce a component part that meets the specifications of an industry standard technical drawing using lathes and milling machines with at least 85% accuracy. (MTT-181), (MTT-182), (MTT-183), (MTT-282), (ADM-255)
• Demonstrate the ability to accurately and efficiently interpret industry standard engineering drawings with a special emphasis placed upon print reading skills, and part visualization.
  • In a designated lab assignment, students will demonstrate the ability to develop work planning strategies, determine efficient set-up and machining processes, and develop an inspection plan to produce a machine tool project that meets the print drawing specifications with at least 85% accuracy. (MTT-181), (MTT-182), (MTT-183), (MTT-282), (ADM-255)
• Demonstrate the ability to accurately and efficiently measure and inspect parts produced with machine tools using industry standard metrology practices.
  • In a designated lab assignment, using a wide variety of precision measuring instruments, students will demonstrate the ability to accurately measure and inspect a machine tool produced project part to determine if it meets print drawing specifications with at least 85% accuracy. (MTT-181), (MTT-182), (MTT-183), (MTT282), (ADM255)
• Demonstrate the ability to accurately and efficiently create CNC programs using CAD/CAM software for CNC machines.
  • In a designated lab assignment, students will use CAD/CAM software to produce industry standard programs for CNC machines with at least 85% accuracy. (MTT-218)
