Course Description

This course provides students with an opportunity to perform the creative and critical thinking skills needed to fabricate, modify, and maintain complex machine assemblies. Instructors emphasize bench work; lathe, mill, and grinder operations; tool selection; and sequencing fabrication operations. Topics include job planning, preparation for machining operations, and machining operations.

Course Outcomes

Job Planning

• Analyze a given problem and develop an appropriate solution.
• Identify tolerances and quality concepts necessary to produce functional products.
• Produce a working drawing of all necessary parts required for problem solution.
• Review vendor catalogs and machinist handbook(s) for possible prefabricated parts and dimensions required in solving problems.

Preparation for Machining Operations

• Analyze the project and determine necessary machining operations.
• Analyze the project and determine order of operations.
• Analyze the job requirements for materials selection.
• Choose the appropriate equipment for each required machining operation to produce a finished product.
• Select appropriate tool(s) for each machining operation to assure accuracy, tolerances, and quality requirements for the finished product.

Machining Operations

• Identify the work handling method and select the appropriate tool holder(s).
• Select the appropriate cutting fluid for the work required.
• Calculate the appropriate speeds and feed rates for the tools and materials used.
• Make part(s) required for a given project.
• Inspect all prefabricated and manufactured parts to assure tolerances and quality standards are achieved.
• Assemble all prefabricated and fabricated parts and perform operational test.
• Evaluate the product developed through an industrial machine application.
