Medical Professions: Fall Semester

 

Medical ProfessionsL Spring Semester

 

Courses include (10 credit hours):

• Blueprint Reading-MCH145
• Machine Tool I-MCH105

Optional Courses (15 optional credit hours):

• CNC Milling-MCH135
• CNC Turning-MCH115
• Metals & Alloys-MCH155
• Maching Tool II-MCH215

The Blueprint Reading course will provide the instruction required to become proficient in reading and interpreting prints, system schematics, and engineering drawing.

Students will learn basic CNC programming, test their code on virtual and actual simulators, and cut out part on CNC milling machine. Students will gain an understanding of machine feeds and speeds for different material types and tooling.

Instruction is given in classification of metals and their chemical, physical, and mechanical properties. The student is also instructed in the basic makeup of steels and alloys and their heat treatment processes.

Upon completion of the Machine Tool I & II courses, the student will have a basic understanding of the operation of manual machines (primary focus on the manual lathe) from setup to completed part. The student will also be able to gage and inspect machine parts. Once these courses are successfully completed, the student will earn a Certificate of Proficiency in Machine Tool.

Machine Tool Program Guidelines & Schedule - Students enrolling in Machine Tool Technology are required to have an ACT score of 13 or the equivalent.

Machine Tool: Fall Semester

 

Machine Tool: Spring Semester

 

Courses include (14 credit hours):

• Arc Welding I-WELD-1107
• Arc Welding II-WELD1207

Optional Courses (14 optional credit hours):

• Inert Gas Welding-WELD1307
• Inert Gas Welding-WELD1407

Arc Welding I is designed to teach students the basic knowledge to operate SMAW welding equipment, to function safely in the welding shop, and to demonstrate some types of shop practices. Students will learn welding safety, use of the SMAW welding machine, and how to make basic fillet welds in all welding positions. Students will study welding nomenclature, design of joints, and electrode classification. Students will also learn safe handling of an
oxyacetylene cutting torch and the different uses for it.

Arc Welding II is a continuation of Arc Welding I. Students will continue to learn welding safety, use of the SMAW welding machine, and how to make basic open butt welds in all welding positions. Students will continue to study welding nomenclature, design of joints, and electrode classification. Students will also learn safe handling of the plasma arc cutting torch and the different uses for it. Students will learn the use of air carbon arc torch and get an introduction to the GMAW process and equipment.

Inert Gas Welding I & II focuses on developing welding skills on sheet and plate metal in the flat position with metal inert gas process.

Once these courses are successfully completed, the student will earn a Certificate of Proficiency in Welding. Students will also have the opportunity to sit for the State Welding Licensure Certification Exam at no charge to the student.
