Machining Program

Machining Technology teaches students both the science and art of machining. The Highlands Machining Technology Certificate Program allows students to complete the required 41 credits in two semesters and enter the workforce with valuable college credential in the shortest time possible. Students of the CAS in Machining Technology will learn the skills needed to earn the Mastercam Certification and the National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS) Certificate. These industry-specific certifications demonstrate to employers that students have a particular aptitude and breadth of knowledge in machining. The CAS in Machining Technology can also be combined with the CAS in Welding Technology, giving students an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Metals Fabrication.
