Machine Tool Technology - MTT

This course provides the student with the essential concepts and techniques that are required for successful creation of two-dimensional part geometry, generation and verification of 2 1/2 axis toolpath models, as well as post processing of 2 1/2 axis NC codes within a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) system. Students are required to produce a variety of lab exercises on robotic (CNC) machinery utilizing multi-tool programs. Coursework will primarily focus on 2D geometry projects. Basic understanding of milling machine operations is recommended. This course satisfies 8 hours of instruction toward completing the embedded mathematics curriculum requirements, in accordance with Embedded Curriculum Guidelines Option A.

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.
