Industrial Technology Center

Our Industrial Technology building is just under 100,000 sq ft of labs. Here, you could learn to take raw materials into finished products. You’ll cut, solder, weld, and bend materials into place to better shape your future.

Precision Machining Technology

Texas is the second-largest employer of precision machinists in the nation. Precision machinists create parts used in everything from automobile production to surgical devices and aircraft parts. It’s a job that has an application in every industry. Graduates can find careers in commercial and military aircraft, medical and telecommunications equipment, automotive tool manufacturing, and, of course, oil tool manufacturing.

Plus, with TSTC’s Money-Back Guarantee (opens in a new tab) , you can be sure that you will have a job within six months of graduation or receive a tuition refund.

Welding Technology

Welding is the backbone of manufacturing. That’s why welders are in high demand. In no state is that more true than in Texas.

Welding is one of the programs TSTC is known for, which is why we offer it at our 10 campuses across the state. Plus, with TSTC’s Money-Back Guarantee (opens in a new tab) , you can be sure that you will have a job within six months of graduation or receive a tuition refund.
