AOS degree program
Computer integrated machining technology students prepare for employment in precision machining occupations. These include tool and die making, mold making, instrument making and computer-numerical-control machining. Graduates are successfully employed in both large manufacturing corporations and small contract manufacturing shops. In addition, graduates can continue their education in manufacturing and engineering technology programs.
On-the-job responsibilities
Set up and operate lathes, milling machine tools and computer-numerical-controlled machine tools; shape material into precision parts by conventional and nonconventional processes; follow blueprints; and use advanced measuring techniques to inspect work.
Places of employment
Graduates of this program will find work in a variety of settings, including manufacturing and metal-working industries, engineering firms and engineering research firms. Positions for which graduates qualify include entry-level and apprenticeship programs for positions such as a tool and die maker, instrument maker, mold maker, pattern maker, model maker, machinist, computer numerical control operator or computer numerical control programmer trainee.
Prerequisites
Successful completion of a sampling experience either through the Summer Vestibule Program or equivalent career exploration course is a prerequisite, as are the following:
English: Placement into level C English or above (nonfiction reading, academic writing and literature). Students successfully completing AOS degrees typically enter with reading scores equivalent to 8.0 on the California Reading Test.
Mathematics: Placement into Foundations of Algebra (0884-180), Elements of Geometry (0884-170) or a higher level course. Typically, students entering this program will have completed at least three years of high school mathematics.
Science: Typically, students entering this program will have completed at least two years of high school science.
