Precision Machining Engineering Technology is designed to prepare students foremployment in the machine trade field. Students learn skills ranging from blueprint reading, power machinery, computer numerical control operating and machine tool mathematics. An Associate of Applied Science degree is earned upon successful completion of the program. Career and Technical certificates can also be obtained.
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 on the ACCUPLACER Reading Section and a 230 on the 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 Manufacturing Engineering Technology Program must attend MCC full time (15 or more semester credit hours).
