MT-101 Manufacturing Your Success

The overall goal of this course is to facilitate a smooth transition to school by engaging the student in curriculum focusing on academic, career, and life skills. Students will make connections with key personnel within the school that will assist with their questions and provide guidance throughout their education. The student will be introduced to modern manufacturing techniques, industry certifications, and job opportunities. Students will learn essential skills involved in Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining. Emphasis will be placed on safety, equipment, fundamentals of machining, and the proper use of measurement tools used in CNC machining.

MT-102 Blueprint Reading and Precision Measurement

This course prepares students to understand technical information when reading manufacturing blueprints. Emphasis is placed on locating geometry to create tool paths. Students will learn how to use Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) when determining specifications and how to properly calculate tool paths using standard mechanical blueprints. They will also learn to use information located in the title block to calculate acceptable tolerances for part features and determine suitable feeds and speeds for a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) program using Machinist Calculator Pro.

MT-106 CAM Mill Design and Tool Path

This course teaches students the integration of Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided-Manufacturing (CAM) with a concentration in milling machines. It is a study of modern machining methods and teaches the use of software in creating geometry for milling parts. Students will use CAM software to strategize and create parts that will be machined on a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Machining Center. Students will then use software to create tool paths from 2D and 3D geometry.

MT-107 CAM Lathe Design and Tool Path

This course teaches students the integration of Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided-Manufacturing (CAM) with a concentration on turning machines. It is a study of modern machining methods and teaches the use of software in creating geometry for turning parts. Students use CAM software to strategies and create tool paths that will be machined on a CNC turning centers. Students will use software to create tool paths from 2D and 3D geometry.
