Machining Technology at The Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) at Main

Start a career as a machinist – a rewarding and challenging trade with precision and craftsmanship as core attributes. Get hands-on machining training by setting up and operating precision and CNC equipment to produce components used in various industries.

As a machinist, students will make or modify mainly metal components to very fine tolerances based on intended designs. Modern machine tools are computer-driven, making machinists responsible for programming and operating high-tech equipment such as CNC mills, lathes, electrical discharge machines (EDM) and coordinate measuring machines (CMM). Metal cutting and shaping operations also use various other tools, including conventional mills, drills, lathes and grinders.

Graduates may pursue job opportunities as a:

  • machinist technician
  • machinist specialist

Graduates of the Machining Technology program benefit from a high level of industry demand, having achieved recognized training equivalent to the four periods of the Machinist apprenticeship program.
