Considered by many as a step toward a fast-paced engineering career, Machining focuses on set-up, programming, and operation of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) mills and lathes. Machinists work for medical device, prosthetic, and engine manufacturers and many more. You can learn what you need to know for a high-paying job by completing the National Metal Working Skills curriculum at ASU Mid-South.
THE PROGRAM
The Mid-South area has a growing number of jobs for machine operators, programmers, and computer-aided designers, particularly in the medical device industry. We offer three Certificates of Proficiency in Machining, so you can decide how far you want to take your certification.
ASU Mid-South’s Machining Technology program has earned accreditation from the National Institute for Metalworking Skills. Click image to read more.
The Machining program teaches students how to operate both manual and computer-aided lathes and mills, and also provides students the ability to complete the National Institute of Metalworking Skills (NIMS) certification. From interpreting fabrication blueprints to programming and operating the machine, we can teach you everything you need to know to succeed as a machine operator.
