Learning Outcomes & Expected Performance Criteria (ABET Criterion 3. Program Outcomes)

Outcome a: An appropriate mastery of the knowledge, techniques, skills and          modern tools of their disciplines:

1.      The complex setups and operation of engine lathes,  milling machines, grinding, sawing, and concepts of quality control using detailed process planning.

2.      The technical information required to produce parts by milling machines, grinders, and engine lathes that requires close tolerances and high quality surface finishes.

3.      How to calculate speeds and feeds accurately and compare the difficult machining operations and choose the most economical methods of machining parts.

4.      The use of precision measuring and quality control devices.

Outcome g: Communicate effectively.

1.      Develop detailed process planning to perform complex setups and operations of engine lathes,  milling machines, grinding, sawing, and apply concepts of quality control.

Topics Coveered:

Generate Process Planning, Learn what Quality is, Learn and Apply Beginning Level GD&T, Datum Selection and Orientation for Function/Manufacture, Tolerances and Fits, Reading Shop Drawings, Shop Safety, Systems of Measurement, Speeds and Feeds for Machine Tools, Learning to Speak the Language of Manufacturing, Machine Tool Operations

Lab/Class Schedule:        150 minutes per day, 2 days per week
