COURSE TITLE: MACHINE TECHNOLOGY 3,4

COURSE DESCRIPTION:  Machine Tool 3,4 students are given a reveiw of safety sules and procedures. Students in Machine Tool Technology 3,4 are required to hold tighter tolerances with less time to work on the projects. The students are expected to maintain higher standards on the finish of their projects. These standards should be acceptable by industry. This course has an articulation agreement to help students toward an Associate's Degree in Machine Tool Technology at Piedmont Technical College.
