Precision Machine Technology

Columbia Basin College ETPL
From the airplane's wings to a toy alligator's computer chip, it was a machinist who made the first product, made the prototype of the product, and made the machine technology and computers now a part of the machinist's day-to-day process, the industry is expanding, creating more job opportunities for skilled employees. The CBC Machine Technology curriculum includes trade support theory courses in conjunction with laboratory training and general education courses.
