| CVCC Catalog 2004 - 2006
Diploma
Machine Tool
Diploma: Diploma
Length: Four-semester (two-year) plus one summer curriculum
Purpose: Modern manufacturing techniques have created a great demand for
highly skilled operators of the machines and tools used in making the many
complex parts required by industry. It is the purpose of this curriculum to
develop machinists and machinist trainees who are able to skillfully convert
the engineer’s blueprint into a precision part.
Admission Requirements: In addition to meeting the admission
requirements established for the College and an interest in studying the
Machine Tool curriculum, the student must achieve a satisfactory score on
the appropriate English and mathematics proficiency examinations. Students
who do not meet the English and mathematics requirements will be required to
correct their deficiencies. Cooperative Education is available in the
curriculum. Students are strongly advised to consult with their advisor and
the Apprentice Coordinator while planning a program of study and to continue
doing so on a regular, periodic basis during that program of study.
Program Requirements: The curriculum encompasses such diverse areas as
technical mathematics, technical drafting, machine shop theory and practice,
numerical control programming, basic metallurgy and is supplemented by
general education courses. Upon satisfactory completion of the curriculum,
the graduate will be awarded a Diploma in Machine Tool.
Advanced Manufacturing Technology Association: The Advanced
Manufacturing Technology Association (AMTA) is a consortium of Region 2000
manufactures, secondary schools and Central Virginia Community College
dedicated to promoting the manufacturing industry as an attractive career
choice, and to providing increased opportunities to obtain the basic skills
needed to be successful. The AMTA in collaboration with CVCC offers
instruction at CVCC and at an Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center (AMTEC)
using state-of-the-art production equipment. The AMTEC uses a selective
admissions process. Students who have successfully completed the Machine
Tool Program at CVCC may qualify for admission to AMTEC. Interested students
should contact their advisor.
