5.00 Credits
As a continuation of MFT101: Machine Tool Theory¿Lab I, this course covers more advanced techniques of manual machine tool fabrication as they apply to drill presses, saws, lathes, milling machines, and surface/cylindrical grinders as well as the introduction to manufacturing processes, such as electric discharge, water jet, laser cutting, metal forming, metal casting, and welding. Also covered is the setup and operation of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines that will include accessing quick code and intuitive canned programs, as well as defining the use of G and M codes in the programming of CNC machine tools as they pertain to turning and machining centers. Lab sessions will provide opportunities for hands-on application of knowledge gained from theory covered in lecture, discussion, and homework. Prerequisite: MFT101 Corequisite: MAT113 (5 credits; 3 hrs. lec., 5 hrs. lab.) Offered on: W / 5 cr. hrs.

2.00 Credits
This course introduces the principles of engineering drawing, such as lines, views, dimensioning, sketching, visualization, and interpreting traditional drawings. It also covers the philosophy and principles behind Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) and how they are used in the manufacturing arena. ( 2 credits; 1hr. lec., 3 hrs. lab.) Offered on: W / 2 cr. hrs.
-
2.00 Credits
This course illustrates the use of microcomputers in the organization, analysis, and presentation of manufacturing-related data, using, but not limited to, Microsoft Office group software that integrates word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, and database management. Emphasis on real-world solutions to manufacturing-related tasks and problems will be the focus of this course. (2 credits; 1 hr. lec., 2 hrs. lab.) Offered on: W / 2 cr. hrs.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of MFT102. It stresses advanced planning skills, setup, fabrication, quality-control techniques, and process documentation of all assigned parts produced on manual/computerized mills and lathes, vertical/horizontal saws, drill presses, and grinders. Also emphasized is the practical theory and application behind the concept, design, fabrication, setup, and utilization of fixtures used in the fabrication of shafts, cylinders, flywheels, connector rods, valve blocks, eccentrics, and other complex parts. Also stressed is the use of the personal computer in the development of manual G- and M-code-based machine-tool programs, as well as exposure to more advanced canned CNC machine-tool programs and tooling. Prerequisite: MFT102 (4 credits; 2 hrs. lec., 6 hrs. lab.) Offered on: W / 4 cr. hrs.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of MFT201. The goal for this course is the successful fabrication, final assembly, documentation, and presentation of a capstone project. Still stressed in this course are advanced planning skills, setup, fabrication, and quality-control techniques, along with development of problem-solving skills, final-assembly techniques, and ISO 9000 based documentation requirements. Parts will be produced on manual/computerized mills and lathes, vertical/horizontal saws, drill presses, etc. Emphasis is placed on the application of all skills acquired in this and all other courses taken as part of the MFT Program, such as CAD, CAM, process planning, machining theory, and metallurgy, along with computer, math, and English skills. Emphasis will be on group dynamics, i.e., individuals working in teams in order to successfully complete a complex technical project. Prerequisite: MFT201 (4 credits; 2 hrs. lec., 6 hrs. lab.) Offered on: W / 4 cr. hrs.
-
3.00 Credits
This is a conceptual course designed to introduce the use of computer-aided drafting and design as a productivity tool by using commercial CAD software, as well as the interaction of software and hardware. Upon successful completion, students will be proficient in the use of a CAD system for 2-D and 3-D mechanical-component design and drafting, dimensioning techniques, drawing layout, and presentation. Prerequisite: MFT110 (3 credits; 2 hrs. lec., 3 hrs. lab.) Offered on: W / 3 cr. hrs.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers development and/or transfer of CAD-type drawings by using commercial Computer-aided Manufacturing (CAM) software, such as Mastercam®, for generating G- and M-coded toolpaths for computerized mill and turning centers. Emphasis on programming methodology and proper application of cutting tools. Student activity will include hands-on operation of CNC machine tools to produce assigned parts. Prerequisites: MFT102, MFT210 (3 credits; 2 hrs. lec., 3 hrs. lab.) Offered on: W / 3 cr. hrs.
-
2.00 Credits
This course provides an overview of the quality-assurance/control function as it applies to design, manufacture, material purchase, customer-furnished material, process control, inspection and testing, records, equipment control, and corrective action. Also covered are statistical-process control techniques used in industry today, such as probability-distribution models (normal, chi-squared, F distributions); standard deviation; variance; mean, mode, and median; and customer satisfaction. The course will cover the various techniques and philosophies of total-quality management, such as six sigma and ISO 9000. Lab sessions will provide the opportunity for hands-on application as it pertains to a variety of quality assurance/control instrumentation and philosophies used in industry today. Prerequisites: MFT101, MFT110 (2 credits; 1 hr. lec., 2 hrs. lab.) Offered on: W / 2 cr. hrs.
