An advanced level theory and practice of metal removal and fabrication course emphasizing advanced level practice on lathes, milling machines, surface grinders, and heat treating equipment. Theoretical considerations include precision measurement techniques, cutting tool technology, gearing and nontraditional machining methods. Computer numerical control and CAD-CAM techniques will be discussed. May be taken four times for credit. This course is designed to provide machine tool majors with an opportunity for independent study.
Evaluation is through conference and joint critique of the entire independent study process.
May be taken more than once for credit. Applications of Machine Tool Technology. Advanced laboratory practice for students pursuing certification in machine and metals technology. May be taken four times for credit.
