Course Descriptions

MTT105
Manufacturing Processes and Toolmaking Survey
This course will include theory and demonstrations involving manufacturing processes, machining (lathe, milling, drilling, boring, and grinding), and heat treating. Computer-controlled manufacturing equipment will be covered through theory and demonstrations involving CNC (turning); CAD/CAM and CNC/NC programming; electric discharge machining; metrology (CMM); and an introduction to robotics. 4 Credits (2 Lecture - 6 Lab)

MTT106
Manufacturing Processes Survey
This course will include theory and demonstrations involving processes, machining (lathe, milling, drilling, boring and grinding), and heat treating. Students who have taken MTT108 are not eligible to take this course. 2 Credits (1 Lecture - 3 Lab)

MTT113
Basic Metalworking I
Introduction to the theory and practical applications of basic metalworking will be presented. This course will emphasize industrial shop safety, material selection, job planning, bench-work, quality control and inspection. Hand tools, drill presses, pedestal grinders, band saws, milling machines and precision-measuring equipment will be used to complete required projects. The student will study, interpret and draw basic industrial blueprints. Also included are techniques in preventative and general maintenance of metalworking machinery. 3 Credits (2 Lecture - 3 Lab) Corequisite(s): MTT114.

MTT114
Basic Metalworking II
The theory and practical applications of basic metalworking introduced in MTT 113 will be continued in this laboratory course. Students will develop skills in layout, blueprint reading, quality control, inspection and machine setup and operation. 2 Credits (0 Lecture - 6 Lab) Corequisite(s): MTT113.

MTT116
Lathe Applications I
Introduction to the theory and practical applications used to safely setup and operate the metal turning engine lathe. Operations such as turning, facing, boring, grooving, drilling, tapers, threading and cut-off procedures will be implemented. Three and four-jaw chucking techniques and turning between centers will be used to complete required projects. 3 Credits (2 Lecture - 3 Lab) Corequisite(s): MTT117.

MTT117
Lathe Applications II
The theory and practical applications introduced in MTT116 will be continued in this laboratory course. Students will develop skills in lathe operations such as turning, facing, boring, grooving, drilling, tapers, threading and cut-off procedures. Required projects will be completed using three and four-jaw chucking techniques and turning between centers. 2 Credits (0 Lecture - 6 Lab) Corequisite(s): MTT116.
