MFG 241 - Computer Numerical Control Programming - Mill (Haas)

4 Credit(s)

Prerequisite(s): MTH 60 or MTH 63, and MFG 121 and MFG 140, or permission of Instructor.

Course Description: Covering basic Computer Numerical Control (CNC) programming of the Haas vertical mill as well as machine setup and operation, this course emphasizes manual data input programming and manual program editing. Provides training in the operation and part programming of the modern vertical machining center. Students learn safe manufacturing methods by completing a series of assignments using one of two Haas vertical machining centers. Students will gain experience reading, writing and editing part programs using industry standard G & M code programming.

Course Level: Career/Tech Preparatory

Course Learning Outcomes:

CLO#1: Demonstrate a working knowledge of introductory CNC Mill programming.
CLO#2: Demonstrate improved mathematics, as derived points must be calculated from industry standard blueprints. (ILO: Quantitative Literacy and Reasoning)
