Course Description: This course is designed to provide an introduction to basic manufacturing equipment as it relates to advanced manufacturing. Emphasis will be placed on developing safety skills as well as the terminology, history and future of the advanced manufacturing industry. Students will develop necessary skills in basic measurement and trade math, proper tool selection, identifying equipment types, equipment maintenance, drawing interpretation, creating and processing work orders, quality assurance and efficient application of the knowledge of proper feeds, speeds, and pressures. These areas of instruction will be reinforced by hands-on application in several performance lab exercises.
Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to:
- Practice safety skills that are required on job-sites.
- Explain the basic principles of proper tool selection.
- Describe the principles that guide the selection of proper materials.
- Identify career paths available in advanced manufacturing.
- Convert units of measurement from the inch-pound system to the metric systems, and vice-versa.
