This course is provided for students who participate in a work-based learning experience but cannot meet for the weekly seminar. This usually applies to specialized areas where the worksite is outside of the geographical area.
Students learn how to use precision measuring tools and devices, such as micrometers, Vernier height gage and calipers, depth micrometers, and hole gages. They also learn how to perform project layout utilizing specific purpose precision tools. MFCNC 107 Fundamental Manual Machining 5 This course provides fundamental knowledge and skills to operate manual machining machines. Offered at the introductory level, students acquire basic familiarity with machining processes of drilling, lathing, milling, and grinding.
constructions, and text. Topics include: the AutoCAD interface, templates, editing, layers, plotting, view tools, object snaps, multi-view drawings, text styles, tables, and CAD drafting standards.
MFCNC 108
MFCNC 208 Advanced Projects II 5 Students participate in an independent special manufacturing, machining, or engineering project, the project activity and requirements being selected by both the student and instructor on an aspect relevant to the profession.
MANUFACTURING: CNC MACHINING & ENGINEERING MFCNC 101
Introduction to Machine 3 Manufacturing Processes This course introduces students to the machine manufacturing environment. Students gain familiarity with the various equipment found within a machining environment, the materials used in machine manufacturing processes, maintenance of the work area, and how to conduct themselves within the shop— with an emphasis on safety and professional conduct. Additionally, students gain an understanding of precision and how it is applied to modern machine manufacturing. MFCNC 102 Machine Design Fundamentals 3 The primary objective of this course is to understand how various principles of physics are applied to provide design solutions. The emphasis in this course is on machine design: the design and creation of devices that consist of interrelated components used to modify force and/or motion. MFCNC 103 Mechanical Design Blueprints 4 Students receive training in part specifications, views, ANSI and SI Metric drafting symbols. All instruction is at an introductory level. MFCNC 104 Geometrics and GDT 3 When designing mechanical components, standardized tolerances are often used. Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing is a symbolic language used on engineering drawings and computer generated three-dimensional solid models for explicitly describing nominal geometry and its allowable variation. This unit introduces students to these design and drawing standards, and provides practical application via precision measurement techniques. MFCNC 105
Secondary Operations, 2 Benchwork Within a machining environment, student are introduced to the non-machining functions necessary within manufacturing process. This includes following work orders and conducting pre-machining and after-machining operations, often done with hand tools. Students learn the steps to prepare materials for machining and to finish the products after machining. MFCNC 106

MFCNC 209
Advanced Manufacturing 3 Processes Students receive training in processes used in manufacturing to transform materials into the final product. Subject areas include: non-traditional machining, surface finishes, metallurgy/heat treating principles, assembly of components, flexible and reconfigurable manufacturing systems. MFCNC 210 Emerging Technologies 4 Students learn basic information literacy techniques, how to access the library’s web site, look up materials in the library’s online catalog, and complete simple searches using web search tools and some of the library’s online databases. Using these tools, they explore current or emerging engineering or manufacturing techniques or technologies. Each student will produce a technical paper demonstrating knowledge of these new and emerging technologies. MFCNC 220 CAD I 4 A continuation of the concepts introduced in MFCNC 206, this course introduces dimensioning, parametric drafting and hatching techniques. The topics covered include using the geometry calculator and selection filters; drawing and editing poly-lines, multi-lines, and splines; inserting fields and tables; working with blocks, using externally referenced drawings; and creating sheet sets. MFCNC 221 CAD II 5 Students learn 3D construction, mesh and solid modeling, and advanced viewing capabilities of AutoCAD. Topics covered include user coordinate system (UCS), point,
