MTTC 1000Safety/Measurement/Metrology4.00
(2.00 lec/2.00 lab) This course covers general safety issues as they relate to machine shop operations. Information is presented on personal safety, fire, electrical, and chemical safety topics. The second half of the course introduces basic and precision measuring practices and instruments. Both English and metric measuring tools are covered. Metrology is studied to help you learn to achieve an acceptable level of quality control during inspection. into ESOL 0052 or completion of READ 0100 or ESOL 0042 with faculty recommendation into ESOL 0052. 430
3.00 credits (3.00 lec) Basic blueprint-reading principles related to visualizing shapes, line usage, title blocks, dimensioning, sectional views and tolerancing are taught in a classroom setting. Additional subjects include contours, angles, threads and machining details. into ESOL 0052 or completion of READ 0100 or ESOL 0042 with faculty recommendation into ESOL 0052.
2.00 credits (2.00 lec) Both machine-shop math and linear-measurement theory are presented in this course. Common fractions and mixed numbers are added, subtracted, multiplied and divided. Decimal fractions are also studied in a similar manner. Powers and roots of numbers are used to compute areas and volumes of geometric figures. English and metric units of measurement are studied as they are applied to steel rules, vernier calipers, micrometers, and gage blocks. Standard machine-shop calculations involving speeds, feeds, thread and taper calculations are computed. MATH 0070.
(2.00 lec/3.00 lab) Basic lathe operating theory is presented in a classroom and laboratory setting. Topics studied include cutting tools, lathe nomenclature and controls, and the many lathe machining operations. The laboratory portion of the course covers basic lathe machining operations, including turning, parting and form tools. instructor approval.
(2.00 lab) This course covers drill presses, drills and drilling methods in a laboratory setting. The use of the drill press for tapping, counterboring and reaming is studied. Hand and machine sharpening of drills is studied and practiced. into ESOL 0052 or completion of READ 0100 or ESOL 0042 with faculty recommendation into ESOL 0052; or instructor approval. Must meet READ requirement for instructor approval. 2013–2014 Catalog | Minneapolis Community & Technical College
(1.00 lec/3.00 lab) This course presents the theoretical aspects of vertical milling machine operation, including cutting, tool selection, clamping and indexing, workholding and fixturing, and feeds and speeds selection. The laboratory portion of the course covers safe operating practices, machine setup, cutting tool selection and the use of various milling attachments. Sample parts will be produced to test your understanding of the subject matter. instructor approval.
2.00 credits (2.00 lec) The course is designed to teach you to apply algebra, geometry and trigonometry to obtain correct part dimensions from blueprints.
3.00 credits (3.00 lec) Advanced blueprint reading principles are studied in this course. Topics include orthographic projection, section views, auxiliary views and rotated projections. Spur and bevel gear drawings, position dimensioning, tapered pipe thread specifications, and assembly drawings are analyzed. 431
(1.00 lec/3.00 lab) This course covers the use of various hand tools used on the bench, including the use of hand-held power tools for making prototype tooling and parts. Layout tools are demonstrated and used for the manufacture of tools and fixtures. Power saws and blades are studied in both a classroom and laboratory setting. Proper care and use of power hacksaws, bandsaws, friction, and saw blades are demonstrated. into ESOL 0052 or completion of READ 0100 or ESOL 0042 with faculty recommendation into ESOL 0052; or instructor approval. Must meet READ requirement for instructor approval.
(1.00 lec/3.00 lab) Advanced lathe operations are conducted using soft jaws, face plates, radius tools and taper-turning attachments. Additional projects studied include eccentric diameters, acme threading, tapered pipe threads, and the use of a steady rest for machining long shafts. A variable-speed turret lathe with pneumatic bar feed is set up and operated with many of the turret tools available for this machine.
(2.00 lec/3.00 lab) You will learn theory for both surface and cylindrical grinding and will apply theory to produce surface and cylindrical ground parts. approval.
(1.00 lec/3.00 lab) This course includes both basic horizontal milling machine work and intermediate vertical mill operations. It includes safety, setup, selection of tooling, indexing, and workholding methods for both horizontal and vertical mill operations. The use of milling attachments is also studied.
(2.00 lec) This course teaches interpretation of geometric symbols and terminology in modern blueprints as related to the form, fit, and function of manufactured parts. 2013–2014 Catalog | Minneapolis Community & Technical College
(3.00 lec/1.00 lab) In this course, you will perform basic CNC (Computer Numerical Control) programming and operation including word address programming and absolute positioning. approval.
(1.00 lec/4.00 lab) In this course, you will work with classmates as a team to produce complex parts from blueprints and assemble the machined parts into correct assemblies. You will utilize all machine tools to produce the parts, such as grinders, mills, lathes and other appropriate equipment. Use of the Bridgeport E-Z TRAK is encouraged. A team project is included. approval.
(1.00 lec/1.00 lab) This course covers all the basic welding processes as they relate to machine shop operations.
