Machinist Trades

Offered at the Byron Martin Advanced Technology Center
The Machinist Trades program is designed to train the student
to operate precision machine tools. The machinist makes
use of different machine tools to form various types of metal
stock into usable machine parts. A machinist is skilled in the
setup and operation of machine tools such as the lathe, milling
machine, shaper, drill press and grinders. The machinist uses
machine skills, mathematics, precision measuring and layout
and metal working hand tools to mold raw metals into precision
products.

The following curriculum meets all requirements for the
Associate of Applied Science degree in machinist trades. The
program also awards the Tech Prep Enhanced Skills Certificate
upon completion of additional technical courses. Two optional
plans for the Certificate of Proficiency are also offered.
Program advisor is Marlin Mills, program coordinator and
