MFG-142 - Geometric Dimensioning Tolerancing

Lecture: 3

Credit: 3

This course introduces the student to the use of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing. It consists primarily of learning the names, meanings and applications of the symbols used on engineering drawings that include GD&T. Prerequisites: CAD-101 and DRF-113.

MFG-155 - Industrial Machine Programming

Lecture: 1

Lab: 2

Credit: 3

This course introduces students to the use of microprocessors. Students will learn how inputs and outputs interact with microprocessors and how to program them. Students will also learn to read and understand coordinates on a blueprint and to write CNC programs using G and M codes.

MFG-156 - Introduction to CNC Machining

Lecture: 3

Credit: 3
