This is an introductory course on the study of basic electrical concepts and circuits related to manufacturing. The course will be based on Direct Current (DC) and Alternating Current (AC) concepts, terminology, components, and basic series/parallel circuits. Students will learn how to calculate and measure voltage, current and resistance in basic series and parallel circuits. Students will learn how to utilize a Digital Multi-meter (DMM) to troubleshoot components in an electrical circuit in a manufacturing setting, and test stand-alone components. The students will be introduced to DC and AC relay circuits, as well as electrical symbols that will be used on electrical prints. The course will have a heavy focus on troubleshooting concepts and techniques when working with electrical circuits, including those with high voltage. (4 contact hours: 2 lecture, 2 lab) [Catalog Entry]

Prerequisite: MATH 0745 or placement into MATH 0850 or MATH 1080. This course introduces students to skills that will help them communicate and succeed in manufacturing environments. The main communication concepts that are addressed are shop mathematics, blueprint reading, welding symbols and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T). It covers mathematical concepts such as fractions, decimals, the metric system, oblique triangles and right-triangle trigonometry, solving multiple input machining formulas, reading and applying cutting data charts, and interpreting cutting tool diagrams. Blueprint reading incorporates American Society of Mechanical Engineering (ASME) standards to examine basic concepts of mechanical drawings including line types and uses, orthographic and auxiliary views, title blocks, notes, section views, dimensions, tolerances, and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) fundamentals. (3 contact hours) [Catalog Entry]

Prerequisite: MATH 1080 or MATH 1400 or MATH 1650 (may be taken concurrently); or permission of instructor. This course introduces students to basic material removal processes and equipment used in manufacturing, including machine tools and accessories; cutting principles and chip formation; inspection and quality control; determination of feed, speed, depth of cut, material removal rate, and horsepower; process procedures for both producing and inspecting a part; and automation, robotics, numerical control, flexible manufacturing and computer integrated manufacturing (CIM). Laboratory experience includes the creation of operation sheets and inspection forms, selection or calculation of operating variables, machining and inspecting parts produced; and the analysis, evaluation and communication of results and conclusions. Students must provide safety glasses for use in the laboratory and a portable calculator capable of exponents and roots. (4 contact hours: 2 lecture, 2 lab) [Catalog Entry]
