Spring 2025 Schedule Viewer

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]
ADDITIONAL FEES: $38.00

Prerequisite: CIMN 1110 (may be taken concurrently) or proficiency test, CIMN 1050 (may be taken concurrently) or MATH 1080. This course introduces students to the history and terminology of computer numerical control (CNC) and the development of CNC programs using International Standards Organization (ISO) coding system (G-codes) mode including part analysis, tool selection, program development, program input, tool path simulation, editing, speed and feed determination, and part manufacture. Laboratory experience includes writing simple CNC programs; entering, downloading, and simulating tool path; and examples of machining simple parts on CNC milling and turning centers. (3 contact hours: 1 lecture, 2 lab) [Catalog Entry]
ADDITIONAL FEES: $38.00

Prerequisite: CIMN 1110, CIMN 1420. This course introduces students to Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) and the development of multi-axis CNC part programs and files ready for downloading to machining and turning centers. Laboratory experience includes blueprint analysis to determine part holding method, order of operations, tooling, feeds and speeds, creation of part and fixture geometry, definition of tool paths, graphical verification of tool path, and post processing to generate ISO or Conversational CNC code for milling machine, turning machine, machining center, turning center and wire machine applications. (3 contact hours: 1 lecture, 2 lab) [Catalog Entry]
ADDITIONAL FEES: $38.00

Prerequisite: PHYS 1100, PHYS 1200 or PHYS 1550 or PHYS 1610. This course introduces students to the field of fluid power, including theory and applications, energy input devices, energy output devices, energy modulation devices, and auxiliary system components; storage and distribution systems as well as fluids conditioning and contamination, with emphasis on fluids, equipment, and system operation. Laboratory experience includes the assembly of standard components to perform typical industry standard fluid power system applications. Students must provide an approved set of safety goggles and a portable calculator capable of calculating exponents and roots. (4 contact hours: 2 lecture, 2 lab) [Catalog Entry]
