MACTR 110 PRINT READING - MECHANICAL 3 hrs. (OC)
Prerequisite: None
This course is designed to familiarize the student with manufacturing and engineering processes and materials, through the study of mechanical blueprint reading. Drawings studied include: orthographic projection, sections, auxiliary views, sub- and assembly-prints. Emphasis is placed on processing requirements to attain part-function and tolerances specified. Problems which will enable students to develop an understanding of commonly accepted industrial, design, and machining standards and practices will be assigned.
MACTR 118 INTRODUCTION TO TOOL MAKING 2 hrs. (OC)
Prerequisite: None
This is an introductory course to acquaint the student with the professions of precision machinist, die maker, and mold maker in various metal-working manufacturing industries. Related job tasks will be described, and the on-the-job training that follows the completion of the machine tool technology curriculum will be presented. Classroom presentations will include guest lectures by metalworking company representatives and field trips to various local companies that will be employing program graduates as apprentices.
MACTR 121 MACHINE TOOL OPERATION I 3 hrs. (OC)
Prerequisite: None
This course emphasizes safety in construction and correct handling of hand tools, layout tools, some precision and limited precision layout tools.
