This course provides basic electricity fundamentals basic control strategies and electrical
symbols. The class will provide the student with an understanding of basic electrical
theory schematic and wiring diagram symbols motor theory wiring and electrical troubleshooting.
Conventional current will be used to define current flow. Applied mathematical concepts
are incorporated into the course as required for successful understanding of objectives. Prerequisite: Non Applied mathematics is a fundamental course for students in technical and career programs.
The course includes fundamental mathematics algebra geometry right triangle trigonometry
business mathematics and statistical concepts which are applied to the solution of
practical problems. Scientific notation metrics and use of the calculator are also
covered. Prerequisite: A grade of C or better in MAT 075 or MAT 078 (or higher), OR appropriate placemen An introduction to engineering design and graphics using the latest version of AutoCAD.
Basic AutoCAD commands will be introduced and emphasized throughout this course. Development
of technical drawing skills including design problems sketching dimensioning tolerancing
orthographic projection sectional views and other viewing conventions. The course
will proceed from the basics of design and sketching to applications used in preparing
detail and assembly drawings. Prerequisite: Non .The course will contain all information needed for a maintenance technician to successfully
perform at a high level in their job. The course material will cover mechanical systems
focusing on analysis of mechanical components their relationships to each other and
failure prediction. General rigging will also be covered. Prerequisite: ELT 120 (may be taken concurrently) or MAT 106 (may be taken concurrently This course is an examination of the use and capabilities of the major machine tool
groups including foundry their use in industry and the problems and properties of
metal fabrication associated with each type. This is a manufacturing technique and
basic machining course. Prerequisite: Non An examination of the use and capabilities of the machine tool groups. An advanced
course for students wishing to have a comprehensive knowledge of machine shop operations
in terms of set-up machine feeds tool and cutter sharpening and electrical discharge
machining. Prerequisite: IND 125 or consent of instructor. This Computer Numerical Control Programming I course is designed to introduce to students
the various processes involved in programming a CNC machine. Setting data points
programming different milling events set-up functions and repeat functions will be
examined. This course will use CNC Mills CNC Lathes CNC plasma cutter and 3D printing.
This course is designed to prepare students who are looking for a position in the
metalworking industry. Prerequisite: IND 203 or consent of instructor. This course will build on the CNC programming knowledge and skills learned in IND
207 - Computer Numerical Control Programming I. Students will be expected to program
more advanced CNC machining processes as well as identify the various types of CNC
machines and programming functions used outside of the classroom. Industry tours will
be a part of the course to give students a basic understanding of the diversity of
types and uses of CNC machines. Prerequisite: IND 20 Participation in a work experience in an area of technology under supervision of both
the College and an employer. Internship objectives will be identified for each student
enrolled. This course is repeatable two times for a maximum of 9 credits. Repeatable
This course is repeatable two times for a maximum of nine credits. Prerequisite: Twelve semester hours in major field and consent of instructor. This course is designed to provide students with a thorough understanding of the basics
of Metal Inert Gas MIG arc welding fundamentals also referred to as Gas Metal Arc
Welding GMAW and stick welding also referred to as Shielded Metal Arc Welding SMAW
including the following topics welding safety power sources and wire feeders machine
set up adjustment and maintenance identification of welding defects and quality welds
and welding techniques. Training to develop the manual skills necessary to make high
quality MIG and SMAW welds is included with emphasis placed in the areas of various
joint configurations single pass multiple pass fillet groove overlap welds in a flat
position. Oxyacetylene cutting equipment setup and safety will also be emphasized.
