Institution:

Mt Hood Community College

Subject:

Description:

Credits 4 (3 Lecture - 2 Lab Hrs/Wk) (Formerly MFGX 40) This course teaches basic computational skills for the metals trades targeted specifically for students about to enroll in Integrated Metals in either the Machine Tool or Welding programs, but whose problem-solving and estimation skills are weak. Students are instructed how to estimate and mentally evaluate the result of appropriate calculations and be able to recognize if the result is within normal bounds. Students are introduced to the scientific inquiry process while solving the less structured problems that they will encounter in their future professional careers. This course includes a review of general arithmetic, fractions, units and unit conversions, metrics, measurements and measuring tools, and an introduction to solving word problems. Problems will be drawn from technical applications specific to the metals trades.
