MFG 123 - Manufacturing Processes III

4 Credit(s)

Prerequisite(s): MFG 122 or Instructor approval

Course Description: As the third of a three-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. Students will work to build, document, and evaluate all phases of a prototype production run.

Course Level: Career/Tech Preparatory

Course Learning Outcomes:

CLO#1: Demonstrate an advanced working knowledge of manual machine usage and safe operation.
CLO#2: Demonstrate improved mathematics, as derived points must be calculated for project completion.
CLO#3: Demonstrate spatial thinking skills focusing on three-dimensional projects Demonstrate expanded critical thinking skills focusing on three-dimensional thinking.
