Precision Machine Technology Course Descriptions
 |
 |
| PMT101 Fundamentals of Precision
Machining Technology I |
7 Credits |
|
This course is designed to introduce
students to the fundamentals of precision
machining technology. Students will become
familiar with the operation procedures for
the following manual machines: mills,
lathes, drilling, grinding equipment, saws,
measuring and layout tools. Shop safety will
be discussed and practiced throughout the
course. Terminology as it relates to the
machine industry will be used throughout the
course. The course will include the history
of precision machines.
Co-requisites: BPT126, CPT117, MAT114. |
| |
|
| PMT111 Fundamentals of Precision
Machining Technology II |
7 Credits |
This course is a
continuation of Fundamentals of Precision
Machining Technology I (PMT101). Students
will be introduced to advance machining
concepts and practices found in modern
machine shops. Students will select proper
work holding devices, proper tooling and
utilize the more advanced setup techniques
required for advanced machining. Metallurgy
used in ferrous metals will be covered in
detail. Students will gain an understanding
of how steel responds to cold working and
forming. Different methods of hardening will
be demonstrated giving each student a chance
to design a heat-treat process, check the
hardness, and evaluate the strength in a
fracture test.
Prerequisite: PMT101;
Co-requisites: CPT140, MAT217. |

|
| PMT201 Fundamentals of Precision
Machining Technology III |
7 Credits |
Shop safety will be
discussed and practiced throughout the
course. This course is designed to introduce
students to computer numerical control (CNC)
machining, and advanced manual machine
setups, tooling and use. Students will
develop an understanding of programming
concepts and codes as they relate to CNC
lathes and mills. The history of CNC
machines will be included in this course.
Students will advance their knowledge and
skills in the operational procedures for the
following manual machines: mills, lathes,
drilling, grinding equipment, measuring and
layout tools. Terminology as it relates to
the machine industry will be used throughout
the course.
Prerequisites: CPT140, PMT111;
Co-requisites: CPT240, MAT218, or permission of instructor. |

Machining Technology IV |
4 Credits |
Precision Machining
Technology IV is designed to introduce
students to the more advanced machining
practices and concepts utilized in industry.
Topics that will be discussed include:
Advanced Computer Numeric Control
Programming and Geometric Dimensioning and
Tolerances. Precision machining terminology
and shop safety will be used throughout the
course.
Prerequisites: CPT240, MAT218, PMT201, or permission of instructor. |

|
| PMT217 Metal Fabrication |
1 Credits |
| This course is designed to
introduce students to the fundamentals of
welding. The principles of shielded metal
arc welding and the oxy-fuel process of
cutting, welding and brazing will be covered
in detail. Students will also be introduced
to the gas metal arc welding process.
Classification of metals, their properties,
designations and identification will also be
covered. Ferrous and nonferrous metals will
be discussed. |

|
| PMT226 Experiential Education |
3 Credits |
| This course is designed so
that a student will gain practical
experience in the precision machining
technology field. By applying the knowledge,
skills, and work attitudes acquired from the
program courses, the student will experience
an employment situation with local industry
associated with the precision machining
field. A weekly journal will be kept. A
workbook will be used by the student to
write a final report. This report will
detail his/her experience in the
experiential education environment. |
