PMT101 Fundamentals of Precision Machining Technology I

                                                                                             7 Credits
This course is designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of precision-machining technology and the operations of the equipment associated with it. Students will become familiar with the operating procedures for mills, lathes, drilling, grinding equipment, saws, measuring and lay out tools. Shop safety will be discussed and practiced throughout the course. The course will include the history, function and parts of modern precision machining equipment.
Prerequisite: BPT126.

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 advanced 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. Geometric dimensioning and tolerances will be discussed as it relates to quality control and inspection.
Prerequisite: PMT101.

PMT201 Fundamentals of Precision Machining Technology III

                                                                                             7 Credits
Fundamentals of Precision Machining Technology III is an introduction to computer numeric control machining and advanced manual machine setups, tooling and use. Students will develop an understanding of programming concepts and codes as they relate to CNC mills, lathes and other machine shop equipment.
Prerequisite: PMT111.

PMT211 Fundamentals of Precision Machining Technology IV

                                                                                              4 Credits
Precision Machining Technology IV is a continuation of Fundamentals of Precision Machining Technology III (PMT201). Advanced CNC programming and operations will be used throughout the course. Precision machining terminology and shop safety will be used throughout the course.
Prerequisite: PMT201.

PMT217 Metal Fabrication                                                2 Credits
This course is designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of welding, metallurgy, and heat treatment. 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. Different types of heat treatment and quenching, media and their applications will be covered.

PMT226 Experiential Education                                        3 Credits
Students will be required to participate in a cooperative learning experience during their second year. They will be assigned to a business site for cooperative training totaling 135 hours during their fourth semester in school. Students will be required to develop measurable objectives and keep a daily journal and workbook. In order to qualify for experiential education, students must have completed all courses as applied to their major or three semesters, i.e., students must be second-year, second-semester students. No exceptions will be made.
