Engineering Technologies and the Trades

To prepare the students to enter the machining field.

• The graduate will enter a career in the machining (or related) field within 1 year of graduation or be in the process of continuing their education.
• Students will gain knowledge of employment opportunities at local manufacturing companies.

To prepare the students to be proficient with common machining skills and techniques.

• The students will demonstrate the ability to select appropriate tools, work holding methods, calculated feeds and speeds, and operate machine tools.
• The students will be able to interpret mechanical drawings and determine steps needed to machine parts to specified tolerances.
• Students will complete machining tasks based on mathematics, logic, and physical limitations.

To prepare the students to solve machining problems by interacting and solving problems with others.

• The students will demonstrate effective interaction with others by participating in and completing group projects.

To prepare the student to effectively communicate within the machining and related industries.

• The students will demonstrate communication skills by participating in and completing group projects.

To prepare the student to quantitatively analyze machining problems.

• The student will demonstrate quantitative skills directly applicable to machining problems.
• The student will demonstrate quantitative skills common to basic machining problems, such as the use of measurement, geometry, and trigonometry.

To prepare students to demonstrate information literacy.

• Students will use traditional and contemporary information technology.
• Students will identify, access, and appropriately use authoritative sources of information.

This series of assessment-based courses introduces the theory and practices of metal removal as applied in industry. The set-up and safe operation of conventional machine tools is stressed along with their capabilities and limitations. Topics include common processes such as drilling, grinding,milling, threading and turning, speeds and feeds,metal cutting theory, selection of tooling, fixturing, precision measurement, layout procedures, and basic blueprint reading. A capstone project consists of design,machining, inspection, and evaluation of a product. The program may be entered at multiple points during the academic year.
