ECMT 100Engineering Graphics1
This course will cover mechanical drawing, sketching and CAD as it relates to the maritime industry. The primary focuses will be on the use of a CAD program in order to prepare students for completing sea projects and upper level courses that require drafting. Coverage will include multi-view projections, pictorials, section views, flow diagrams and dimensioning. 2 laboratory hours a week
The Machine Shop phase provides an introduction to the principles of basic machine tool operations which includes shop safety, grinders, precision measuring tools, pipe fitting and lathes. Proper use of cutting tools is provided in preparation for using a lathe. Lathe operations include facing off, drilling, turning down, cutting grooves, tapering and threading. Pipefitting will include measuring, cutting, threading and making a pipe system to certain specifications. The Welding phase will introduce the student to common shipboard welding, joining and cutting processes, equipment and techniques. Using a combination of hands on demonstrations and lectures, and skill practice, the student will gain knowledge of safety and efficiently set up, adjust and operate shipboard welding and cutting equipment to perform simple weld related repair and fabrication tasks.
This course is a continuation of metal cutting and joining theory and practice employed in merchant ship fabrication and repair operations. Emphasis is on the theory and safe practice of plasma; gas metal; and tungsten arc welding, oxyacetylene welding, brazing, cutting and flame spray metal surfacing. U.S. Coast Guard and American Bureau of Shipping technical standards are treated. The course also incorporates lathe and tool room machine practices including plain and taper turning, chucks, knurling, internal and external threading and milling machine operations.
