-
3.00 Credits
Covers the fundamentals of injection mold design and function. Topics include: shrinkage allowances, gate locations, cooling, runner balancing, stripper plates, slide molds, two and three plate designs as well as molding machine considerations. Students will design a complete mold from scratch. Hands on examination of parts, molds and drawings are featured as well as CAD demos and tours. Familiarity with blue print reading is required.
-
4.00 Credits
An overview of all fundamental aspects of materials as they apply to processing. Topics will include: raw materials, polymer synthesis and methods, bonding, classifications, deformation and timedependent behavior, physical properties, fabrication and processing, compounding and fiber-reinforced plastics, extrusion and injection molding, plastic forms and thermoforming, welding, machining and adhesive bonding of plastics and plastics products, waste disposal and recycling.
-
3.00 Credits
An overview of commonly used commercial plastics processes. Plastics materials are addressed including material types, additives, polymer flow and physical and mechanical properties. The injection molding process is emphasized, covering primary and peripheral machinery and equipment, molding variables, fundamental processing and cause and effect relationships between molding parameters and the molded part. Lectures are reinforced with hands-on laboratory experiments.
-
2.00 Credits
This course provides the technical information transfer skills tradespersons and technicians require related to the production of products. Students develop the ability to visualize a solid object from an orthographic projection drawing and visualize orthographic views given an object. Transfer of technical information using notes is taught. Experiences in describing parts verbally, in writing and by sketching are included.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides fundamental, yet comprehensive coverage of quality control concepts. Quality management principles, practices, tools and techniques are covered. Basic math skills are required.
-
3.00 Credits
A course that integrates math and English knowledge and skills with machinist functional requirements. Portions of the course are devoted to workplace soft skills and job procurement training.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to machine shop theory and application. Several projects are planned and machined. Students will be required to complete tasks using hand tools and demonstrate knowledge, skills and abilities on engine lathes, vertical milling machines, pedestal grinders and band saws. They will lay out, set-up and machine precision parts to specific quality standards.
-
2.00 Credits
A course on the set-up and operation of CNC mills that provides familiarization with controls. Students will be able to load a program, perform minor editing and determine tooling using a technical drawing, set up tools, run, debug and fine tune the program to produce a good first piece. Several projects plus a final part-to-print project are required. Completion of IT 102 recommended but not required. Prerequisite: IT 121 or permission of the instructor.
