Covers computer numerical control (CNC) lathe operations, program format, and machine setup. G & M codes, control functions, the letter address system, and math issues related to CNC are included. 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.

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.
