Program Overview
The Manufacturing Technology: Machine Tool specialization is designed to provide the student with fundamental procedures for intermediate and advanced milling machine maintenance, operation, and safety procedures in manufacturing. The student will develop practical skills in drafting, metallurgy, fabrication, drilling, lathe operations, and milling. Students will learn in the classroom and lab/machine shop.
The core competencies of manufacturing production taught in this program are based on the Manufacturing Skill Standards Council criteria. The MSSC is an industry-led, training, assessment and certification system focused on the core skills and knowledge needed by the nation’s front-line production and material handling workers.
Students can finish a number of short-term training certificates as they progress through the program, and can join the program at multiple points, depending on assessment results and educational goals. To be successful in the Machine Tool specialization, students should first complete the Manufacturing Production Certificate.
This program was created as part of the Illinois Network for Advanced Manufacturing, which includes 21 Illinois community colleges.
Additional Program Information
Students who successfully pass all four assessments (MAFT 1112, MAFT 1222, MAFT 1232 and MAFT 1312) will be recognized as a Certified Production Technician (CPT) by the Manufacturing Skill Standards Council (MSSC).
