Credit Hours: 4
Lecture Hours: 2
Laboratory Hours: 6

Prerequisite(s): MECH 340  

Restriction(s): None

Corequisite(s): None

This course will enable students to learn about the industrial machining process. The lecture component ensures the student’s familiarization with machining equipment and their applications, while the lab component will develop the student’s capacity to safely and effectively operate essential machining equipment, such as: lathes, milling machines, drills, precision grinder and computerized numerical control (CNC) machines. The student will also be tested on critical skills and must demonstrate proficiency in designing, planning, and implementation of machining projects. Additionally, the student will be required to perform a special research based project focusing on the development of controls and relevant programming as it relates to CNCs and specialty products or processes that are relevant in the electrical, manufacturing, processing and other industrial fields.

Student Learning Outcomes of the Course:
  1. Demonstrate understanding of material properties as they relate to machining processes
  2. Demonstrate understanding of milling, lathe, surface grinding, and other assorted machining processes
  3. Inspect, set up, use, and maintain machine shop equipment as instructed
  4. Fabricate lab assignments as instructed
