Course Description
MECH 1113 Manufacturing Processes 3 3 0 0 None An introductory course in the principles, concepts, and processes used in the modern industrial environment. Emphasis is placed on variety of processes and the impact of automation on modern industry.
MECH 1123 Basic Machine Tools & Equipment 3 2 2 0 None Instructions are given in the care and operation of basic machine tools, measuring instruments, and shop safety procedures.
MECH 1213 Machine Setup & Operations I 3 2 2 0 Co requisite MECH 1123 Basic Machine Tools & Equipment The instruction covers the set-up and operation of shapers, milling machines, and grinders
MECH 1223 Machine Setup & Operations II 3 2 2 0 MECH 1123 Basic Machine Tools & Equipment and MECH 1213 Machine Set-Up & Operations Students begin to work independently as is expected of a machinist. The basic knowledge and skills learned in previous courses are applied by working from blueprints and specifications in construction of machine projects.
MECH 1313 Specialized Machine Processes 3 2 2 0 MECH 1223 Machine Set-Up & Operations This course introduces the student to the use of computers in the manufacturing of products. It includes the study of direct numerical control (DNC) and computer numerical control (CNC) of machine tools as well as the interaction with process planning, inventory control, and quality control.
MECH 1413 Computer Numerical Control I 3 2 2 0 Co requisite MECH 1313 Specialized Machine Processes This course is designed to enable students to gain knowledge in automated methods of the machine industry--specifically computer numerical control. The fundamentals of CNC to be covered include the Cartesian Rectangular Coordinate System, absolute and incremental programming, and part programming.
MECH 1423 Computer Numerical Control II 3 2 2 0 MECH 1413 Computer Numerical Control I This course is a continuation of MECH 1413 Computer Numerical Control I.
MECH 1513 Die making 3 2 2 0 Co requisite MECH 1223 Machine Set-Up & Operations Essential facts of cutting and forming operations are explained and related to the manner in which the die must function in order to achieve the desired results. Primary die components such as punches, punch plates, die blocks, strippers, etc., are discussed as individual parts in addition to their function as a part of the complete die.
MECH 1613 Plumbing & Pipefitting 3 2 2 0 None This course will include piping materials and methods of joining, threaded, welded, flanged, soldered, braze, glued compression and flared fittings. Also the use of hand and power tools used in the pipe fitting industry. As in depth study of the proper installation of water, gas and drainage waste and vent systems. Occupational hazards and safety will be emphasized.
MECH 1713 Pneumatics & Hydraulics 3 2 2 0 MECH 1113 Manufacturing Processes, ELEC 2113 Electro-Mechanical Devices A study in the principles, concepts, and equipment used in the fields of pneumatics and hydraulics. Emphasis will be places on application, design or systems, maintenance and repair.
MECH 1813 Blueprint Reading & Measurements 3 2 2 0 None A course study aimed at developing skills in the interpretation of varied blueprints, measurements, allowances, and tolerances.
MECH 1823 Bearings & Lubrication 3 2 2 0 ELEC 1153 Principles of Technology A course providing skills in bearing inspection, diagnosis, removal, replacement, and sizing. Also, the student is provided the information and skills relative to the use of correct and proper lubrication for various mechanical applications.
MECH 2113 Mechanical/Preventive Maintenance Procedure 3 2 2 0 None An introductory course in general mechanical maintenance procedures including: preventive maintenance procedures, record keeping, and predictable maintenance.
MECH 2123 Basic Metallurgy 3 2 2 0 None An introductory course of study providing information on basic material types, hardness value, and applications.
MECH 2133 Maintenance Welding 3 2 2 0 None A course providing the basic skills in oxy-acetylene welding, cutting and brazing, basic arc welding, and safety to the maintenance and repairs of production equipment.
MECH 2143 Piping Systems 3 2 2 0 None An introductory course of study addressing the various forms of piping systems and associated devices found in the modem automated production plant.
MECH 21X3 MECH 2133 Maintenance Welding OR MECH 2143 Piping Systems 3 2 2 0 The student must choose one course of either MECH 2133: Maintenance Welding or MECH 2143: Piping Systems.
