Prerequisite(s):

MFG 121 or Instructor approval

Course Description: As the second of a two-term series designed to continue the development of both an understanding of manufacturing concerns and limitations of industry as well as developing the hands-on skills needed for machining jobs in manufacturing, this course continues and expands basic manufacturing skills and machine tooling practices. This class re-emphasizes safety, bench work, lathe work, vertical mill operations, precision grinding, tool room operations, and production work through completion of a project in a prototype production run using the multiple manufacturing processes.

Course Learning Outcomes:

CLO#1: Demonstrate proper use of the manual machine lathe.
CLO#2: Describe procedures to perform internal threading.
CLO#3: Demonstrate precision fitment of parts produced on the engine lathe.
CLO#4: Produce accurate and usable tools on the engine lathe. (ILO: Quantitative Literacy and Reasoning)
CLO#5:Demonstrate safe and proper shop practices.
