Applied Technology Center

This course will introduce students to the necessary skills to program mechatronic production equipment. This course satisfies 20 embedded hours toward specified programs and certificates for AAS Science General Education requirements.

This course is designed for the student who has a particular interest in welding and wants to concentrate in that area. This is a contractual course.

Covers computer numerical control (CNC) milling operations, program format, and machine setup. G & M codes, control functions, the letter address system, and math issues related to CNC are included. Students will program, set-up and produce a variety of CNC milling projects. This course satisfies 7.5 hours of instruction toward completing the embedded human relations curriculum requirements, in accordance with Embedded Curriculum Guidelines Option A.This course satisfies 8 hours of instruction toward completing the embedded mathematics curriculum requirements, in accordance with Embedded Curriculum Guidelines Option A.

This course will introduce the student to 3D and solid modeling on a CAD system. Students will draw and solve graphic problems on a CAD system.

Students will identify various digital drafting platforms and graphic software packages for presentation techniques. Emphasis will be placed upon the preparation of materials for a portfolio.

The course provides an extensive look at laser scanning methods utlilized with advanced manufacturing for product identification, and product design. One-dimensional, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional scanning methods are examined throughout the course. Galvanometer-based optical scanners will be covered as well as other types of laser scanners.

This course is a contractual course designed for the advanced student who is pursuing AWS (American Welding Society), ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers), or API (American Petroleum Institute) certification(s). This course is also beneficial to the student requiring additional hands-on practice in order to better their individual skill in a selected process or processes. Instruction will be given on an individual basis.

This course is designed to give learners the opportunity to work on their skills in the GTAW process, perfect their skills in the FCAW process by providing them with individualized instruction and full hands-on practice in preparation and welding of ferrous and nonferrous materials. At this point in training students may also start developing skills necessary to weld pipe using the SMAW or FCAW processes. Ample practice time is allocated to perfect skills and complete lab assignments. WELD 242 is required concurrently with WELD 241, but may be taken as a separate course. This course may be repeated for up to six credits.
