This course is a continuation of MTT 292 with the addition of simultaneous three axis motion control and provides the student with the essential concepts and techniques that are required for successful creation of three-dimensional part geometry, solids, and surfacing, generation and verification of three axis tool path models, as well as, post processing of three axis NC codes within a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) system. Requires students to produce a variety of lab exercises on robotic (CNC) machinery utilizing multi-tool programs. A familiarly with Mastercam, CNC programming techniques, and CNC operations is recommended.

This is a continuation of MTT 250 and prepares students to determine hole locations by coordinates and degrees, use a rotary table, boring head, form tools, angle work, and work within +/- .001 inch tolerance.

Offers a study of metallurgical properties in an effort to understand both the behavior of metals and their service to industry. Characteristics during heating, cooling, shaping, forming, and the stresses related to their mechanical properties are covered. The theory behind the alloys, heat treatment processes, and the impact they have on strength, toughness, hardness, elasticity, ductility, malleability, wear resistance and fatigue resistance is investigated. This course fulfills the natural sciences degree requirement for nontransferable AAS degrees only.
