Machine Tool Technology

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.

Exposes the student to the principles of dimensional metrology and explores Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) concepts and applications. Students will learn how to use common measuring instruments relating to state-of-the-art manufacturing environments. Students will also learn the importance of Quality Control, TQM, and SPC processes as they relate to manufacturing environments.
