Machinist Toolmaker
Associate in Applied Science Degree
Curriculum Code: 0199 (Effective Fall 2002 - Summer 2007)
A machinist toolmaker is involved with the manufacture of machined components
relating to various kinds of industry. There are no limits to the variety of
projects a machinist toolmaker may be involved with: making prototypes, tools
for production, engineering changes on parts, etc. This work involves
critical thinking, decision making, math skills, and working cooperatively
with others. Machinist toolmakers are capable of operating all the various
machine tools in a machine shop. They also must be able to interpret
mechanical drawings, calculate mathematical data, and work with others to
solve the various problems related to projects going on in the shop at any
given time. A machinist toolmaker may be employed in any manufacturing
facility.
