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.

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.

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.
