After completing your training in the CIMT program, you will enter the workforce with a solid background for precision machining occupations such as tool and die making, mold making, instrument making and computer numerical control machining. With an associate degree, some careers you might choose are die maker, general machinist, instrument maker, tool maker, or computer numerical control programmer/operator.
If you qualify academically and want to continue your education, you could choose to pursue your baccalaureate degree in manufacturing and engineering education at RIT.
As a Computer Integrated Machining Technology student, you'll get hands-on instruction in six different laboratories filled with state-of-the art industrial equipment, all designed to develop your skills. Under the guidance of skilled and experienced faculty and staff, you'll learn to set up lathes, use milling machines, set up and operate computer numeric controlled machines, create precision parts, and more. In the main lab, you'll learn to use precision machines commonly used in industrial tool rooms. The grinding, welding, metrology and computer numerical control labs all give you hands-on experience. You'll make precision parts for, and learn to troubleshoot and maintain, many machines that industries rely on.
