Course Description

Culminates the Manufacturing Processes series (MFG 110, MFG 112, MFG 114) focused on advanced manual machining skills. Emphasizes precision in complex operations involving manual lathes and milling machines. Includes systems of fits, tolerances, assemblies, and quality assurance. Features hands-on projects that support development of critical thinking, problem-solving, and project management skills. Integrates basic material science with machining processes, and introduces principles of environmental and sustainable practices in manufacturing.

Course learning outcomes

1. Demonstrate safe practices while using the MATC Machining Lab.
2. Apply systems of fits, tolerances, and assemblies in manufacturing.
3. Use the basics of material science to incorporate sustainable practices into manufacturing processes.
4. Develop detailed process plans and documentation for machining complex parts and assemblies.
5. Demonstrate the ability to effectively manage complex manufacturing projects using critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
6. Demonstrate proficiency to accomplish advanced processes using milling machines and engine lathes.
