Students in South's Machine Tool program receive hands-on instruction and experiences in the operation and set-up of machine tools.  As they progress through the semester long classes they make several projects out of metal using a wide range of machine tools that will give them skills in accurate measurement, working with close tolerance, reading blue prints and other skills related to Manufacture and Engineering Technologies.

With the advancement of their skills students will build complex projects out of a variety of materials that will require their involvement in the design of these projects and the use of Computer Aided Design Drafting and the use of Computer Numerically Controlled machine tools.
