center operational procedures. All of the jobs that the student programs will be run on a CNC machining center. Prerequisite(s): Complete CNC-325. CNC-327 Credits:3 Machining Center CAD/CAM Programming 2 This course is for those who already understand the basic concepts of CNC machining center operations and CNC programming. The course will cover additional CNC programming techniques including CAD/CAM, which was introduced in the previous course. This course will start with a review of the basic process of creating a CNC program using a CAD/CAM system. Students will then advance through all of thedi ff erent features of today’s CAD/CAM systems as they relate to CNC programming for machining centers. Prerequisite(s): Complete CNC-326. CNC-332 Credits:3 understand the basic operations of a CNC turning center. Students will be taught how to safely prove out a CNC program on the machines in the lab. Then students will be taught the basics of manual CNC programming for a turning center. All programs the student writes will be proved out on the machine with emphasis on tooling, speeds and feeds for metal cutting. Prerequisite(s): Complete either MACHTL-320 and MACHTL-322, or MACHTL-373. CNC-333 Credits:3 CNC Turning Programming/Prove Out 2 This course will build on the concepts learned in Programming/Prove Out 1. Additional operational procedures for CNC turning centers will be covered. Also, additional programming techniques such as threading, TNR compensation, and metric programming will be covered. All programs the student writes will be proved out on the machine with emphasis on tooling, speeds, and feeds for metal cutting. Prerequisite(s): Complete CNC-332. CNC-334 Credits:3 Turning Center CAD/CAM Programming 1 This course will build on the concepts learned in Programming/Prove Out 2. Additional procedures for CNC turning centers will be covered. Also, additional programming techniques such as internal boring, internal threading, and canned cycles will be covered. All programs the student writes will be proved out on the machines with emphasis on tooling, speeds and feeds for metal cutting. Also, an introduction to CAD/CAM programming will be covered. Prerequisite(s): Complete CNC-333. CNC Turning Programming/Prove Out 1 This course is for those who already

reaming, tapping and boring. The CNC Turning Center processes covered are facing, turning, grooving, threading and drilling CNC-305 Credits:4 CNC Machine Operations This course would cover CNC Machine tool operation. The students would be taught the 10 step to setup and operations of CNC Machining centers and CNC Turning Center in the Lab at MATC; workholding and tooling set up o ff sets, prove out procedures. CNC-320 Credits:1 Tooling and Fixturing An overview of the basic types and functions of jigs and fi xtures and the way these workholders are designed and built. Basic elements of supporting, locating, and clamping the parts are included, as well as modular component workholders and principles of power clamping. CNC-321 Credits:1 CNC Machine Technology Instruction is given in state-of-the-art CNC machining technologies. This course is upgraded as these technologies change. CNC-324 Credits:3 CNC Machine Programming/Prove Out 1 This course is for those who already understand the basic concept of CNC machining center operations. Students will be taught to operate tech-speci fi c CNC machines. Basic concepts of manual CNC programming including linear and circular interpolation, Z axis canned cycles, and cutter diameter compensation are covered. All CNC programs that the student writes will then be proved out on a full-sized industrial CNC machine center. Prerequisite(s): Complete either MACHTL-320 and MACHTL-322, or MACHTL-373. CNC-325 Credits:3 CNC Machine Programming/Prove Out 2 This course is for those who already understand the basic concepts of CNC machining center operations and CNC programming. The course will cover additional CNC programming techniques such as polar coordinates, metric programming, subroutine programming, zero shift, and multiple work zero programs. Also covered are advanced CNC machining center operational procedures. Prerequisite(s): Complete CNC-324. CNC-326 Credits:3 Machining Center CAD/CAM Programming 1 This course is for those who already understand the basic concepts of CNC machining center operations and CNC programming. The course will cover additional CNC programming techniques including an introduction to CAD/CAM. Also covered are advanced CNC machine

Credits:3

Turning Center CAD/CAM Programming 2 This course covers CAD/CAM programming for CNC turning centers using PC-based master CAM software. All programs the student writes will be proved out on the machine with emphasis on tooling speeds and feeds for metal cutting. Prerequisite(s): Complete CNC-334. COMPSW – Computer Software (Department 103) COMPSW-137 Credits:1 MS Excel – Part 1 Students will cover the basics in creating and managing Excel worksheets and workbooks. This course includes creating cells, ranges, tables, charts and objects; formatting and printing reports; and applying formulas and functions. Excel Part 1 is designed for students at a beginner level in spreadsheet applications and provides good background material to help the student prepare for the beginning Microsoft O ffi ce Specialist (MOS) certi fi cation in Excel. COMPSW-138 Credits:1 MS Excel – Part 2 Excel Part 2 helps students develop skills in managing multiple worksheets and workbooks. This includes using advanced table features, creating Pivot Tables and Pivot Charts, developing Excel applications, examining advanced logical functions, interpreting error values, and summarizing data. COMPSW-138 and COMPSW-139 provide good background material to help the student prepare for Microsoft O ffi ce Specialist (MOS) certi fi cation in Excel at the expert level. It is recommended that students complete COMPSW-137 or have a working knowledge of Excel essentials before taking this course. Prerequisite(s): Complete COMPSW-137. CONSTR – Constructions Trade General (Department 476) CONSTR-302 Credits:1 OSHA Safety/CPR for the Trades First Aid according to the Red Cross and the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration guidelines will be covered in the construction trade courses in carpentry, masonry, and cabinet making. Prerequisites(s): Admission into the Construction Trades. CONSTR-380 Credits:1 Mathematics for Construction Trades Through practical problems of the carpentry, masonry, and cabinet making trades students review addition; subtraction; fundamentals of fractions and decimals: percentages, weights and measures and the application of formulas, along with linear, board, square root used in practical math in the construction trades for estimating and recording materials and supplies.
