3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MAT 101 or higher. This course is examines quality control and quality assurance practices in manufacturing. Students will learn the international quality standards such as ISO 9000, ISO 14000, and ASTM. Practice in using quality improvement methodologies and tools will be used to solve problems. Skills will be taught so students can use statistical concepts, data collection techniques, problem solving tools, and the scientific method to improve processes.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: INT 101. This course covers the theory and skill development needs in various manufacturing industries such as metals, plastics, chemical, and pulp and paper. Students will also learn the skills and methods of machining and shaping parts to required specifications. Includes newer processes such as laser machining and welding, water-jet cutting, high-energy-rate forming (HERF), cryogenics, chipless machining, electrical discharge machining (EDM), electrochemical machining (EMC) robotics, and rapid prototyping. The importance of computer numerical control (CNC) systems and processes, machine tools, and CNC's role in automated manufacturing is also examined and demonstrated. Enrollees use a variety of instruments in their work including micrometers, verniers, calipers, depth gauges, and gauge blocks. Students will be required to program machines, make molds and objects, and to complete various operations and processes according to industry standards.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MAT 101 or higher. This course is designed to teach theory, applications, and skills on a range of hydraulic and pneumatic power systems. The course will cover laws and principles of fluid power, (both compressible and non-compressible fluids) operations, and maintenance requirements of hydraulic and pneumatic components including valves, pumps, cylinders, and motors. Students will study various hydraulic and pneumatic systems, design and build circuits, test circuits, and develop and practice trouble shooting and repair skills.
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: INT 100. This course covers the economic benefits of properly maintaining manufacturing equipment to minimize down-time and capital cost of premature replacement. The course emphasizes the importance and techniques of preventive maintenance and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM). Students will design and develop inspection plans for various manufacturing processes and machinery.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers the importance of worker safety in the manufacturing environment and explores components of effective safety programs. Students study the sources of industrial pollution and processes to mitigate pollution. Various local, state, and federal regulations and laws are studied in detail along with the roles of EPA and OSHA.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Permission of instructor or Division Head. Study of the development of the plastic's industry ranging from the historical to the technical perspective. The characteristics of plastics, types of plastics, and polymer chemistry are studied and demonstrated. Common processes such as extrusion, welding, and thermoforming are performed by students with the emphasis on injection molding. Other studies and practices included in the course are tooling, mold making, grinding, finishing, and product design. Students will demonstrate the skills they learn throughout the course. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor or Division Head.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Permission of instructor or Division Head. This course covers the production and practical aspects of the development of the pulp and paper industry with emphasis on papermaking. Students will study paper chemistry, raw materials, pulp making and mills, white and brown paper-making, and various operations such as digesting, sizing, finishing, storage, and shipping. Special emphasis is placed on mechanical operations and repair in which students will practice such skills as water pump repair, alignment, and testing.
-
3.00 Credits
Corequisite: CSC 102. This course introduces theory, operation, and programming of robotics and computer numerically controlled machines. Students will demonstrate common applications of CAM as well as making products and programming CNC devices and machines.
-
0.00 Credits
Prerequisite: 30 credit hours toward the Industrial Technology degree. Students work as interns in manufacturing to get first-hand experiences under a skilled supervisor selected by the company and approved by the College. The student, business, and faculty advisor will jointly develop a work program of approximately 45 hours during a semester.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: INT 100. This course covers the roles and responsibilities of a supervisor or team leader. Examines the skills required to effectively lead people and manage their efforts. Topics include effective communications, leadership, problem solving, decision making, continuous quality improvement, change, stress management, diversity issues, and training. Both union and non-union environments are examined.
