Students will produce and troubleshoot CNC mill set-ups from job packets and machine parts to blueprint specifications. Students will learn simple G and M codes, download programs to machines, graphically verify programs, and prove out parts on 3-axis machining centers using various CNC controllers. Set-ups will include face, end, and profile milling and drilling, slotting, boring, and tapping operations. Students will also learn to produce some simple tooling necessary to complete various set-ups.

This course provides an introduction to CNC machining processes and the technology that supports them. Some of the processes covered are spot drilling, drilling, reaming, tapping, counterboring, countersinking, defining and calculating speed and feed rates, screw thread identification, and drill sharpening. Students will perform these processes on manual equipment prior to observing them on CNC equipment. Basic computer skills are also covered in this course.

Reviews the four basic mathematical operations on whole numbers, fractions and decimals. Also covers basic algebra and trigonometry related to technical fields.

In this course, students explore the Gateway Technical College community. They examine college resources and services, investigate skills that lead to academic success, and identify strategies for achieving educational and personal goals.

In this course, students examine mechanical print-reading and shop safety. They practice reading and interpreting symbols, tolerances, and notes found on mechanical drawings. Students practice visualizing and interpreting various mechanical print views and projections. They explore safety practices and related safety documentation in the machining environment, the use of personal protective equipment, and identify unsafe work practices. Upon completion of the course, students will be prepared to earn industry certifications.

This course introduces the methods and applications of Statistical Process Control (SPC) used in manufacturing operations. Emphasis will be placed upon the concepts of central tendency, variation and normal distribution of data. The development, application, and interpretation of variable and attribute control charts will be the main focus of this course.

In this course, students investigate the operation of Computer NumericalControlled (CNC) machines. They explore CNC Machining as subtractive manufacturing technology and analyze its methods of safe operation. Students examine the purpose of offsets and their calculation, application, and storage. They identify appropriate machine tools and cutting tools for various production processes. Using a hands-on approach in the lab, students relate the removal of material from a solid block to produce a component per specifications outlined on a mechanical drawing or CAD model.
