18 courses with the subject CIM, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
CIM 106Blueprint Reading and Related Math3
This course will introduce the student to industrial drawings, basic sketching, and applied mathematics. Interpretation of title blocks, orthographic projection, dimensioning and tolerancing, assemblies, and the elementary application of Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) will be covered throughout this course. The skills and knowledge obtained through CIM 106 will prepare the student for application in the machine lab to manufacture machined components.
Students will learn laboratory safety and material handling. The physics of metal cutting, and the machinability of metals are introduced. Semi-precision and precision measuring instruments are introduced and practiced. Precision layout, bench grinding, surface grinding and power sawing operations will also be introduced and exercised.
This course will introduce the student to basic metrology including precision layout. The use of indirect and direct measurement instruments including micrometers, calipers, indicators, and various gages will be utilized. Blueprint reading skills, including elementary GD & T, will be necessary for completion of this course.
This course will introduce the student to procedures used on the vertical milling machine and lathe. Course content will include a wide variety of operations including, milling, turning, facing, drilling, reaming, tapping, and calculations related to set up.
This course will introduce the student to advanced techniques and procedures used on the vertical milling machine and lathe. Couse content will include offset boring, cutting slots and pockets, taper turning, and thread cutting. An emphasis on workholding will be integrated into this course. 137
This course covers the basic principles related to metallurgy. Many industrial processes are clarified as the student gains an understanding of quenching, annealing, case hardening, tempering, and crystallization. In addition, students will see how these changes occur through heat treating projects in the lab. Students will also experience real world applications through industry visits.
This is a lab intensive course which provides students with extensive hands-on training. Assigned projects aid students in gaining critical experience contributing to a well-rounded machining education. MATH 137
CIM 176 introduces the student to basic CNC concepts such as word-address programming, machine set-up, and program proofing. This course serves as an introduction to CNC machines and CNC programming methods and techniques.
This course expands upon introductory concepts learned in CNC I and provides for increased hands-on application of learned material. New programming techniques will focus completely on milling and the use of CNC machining centers. Students are required to complete specific laboratory work to gain confidence in working with CNC Machining Centers.

This course provides the basic elements required to define and apply industry accepted design specifications. The curriculum covers ASME Y.14.5 and associated standards, datum selection, benefits of bonus tolerance, manufacturing and inspection implications when using GD&T. Students will learn the rules, symbolic language and concepts used to define part dimensions and tolerances. As a result, students will increase their productivity due to clear product definition and function based design rationale.
Computer-Aided Machining (CAD/CAM) I This course introduces the use of Computer Aided Drafting & Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) as a tool for defining part geometry and generating Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine code. Two-axis and three-axis applications are demonstrated, along with the use of the CAD/CAM applications. Page 181 of 287
This course teaches an intermediate level use of CAE/CAM software for generating code for use on multi-axis machine tools. Parametric modeling will be introduced using Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) software. Students will learn to design and engineer parts for manufacturing and assembly. This course will emphasize the connection between design and machine tool applications.
This class focuses on production setups and automation. On the lathe, advanced setups including dual-spindle, Y-axis milling, and the use of live tooling and bar pullers will be studied. On the mill, broaching, 3+2 milling and 5-axis simultaneous milling will be covered and applied. Preparing machined parts for heat-treating and required grinding will be covered in this course.
This course expands upon the intermediate concepts learned in CNC Milling and introduces advanced milling techniques. This course also provides more hands-on experience with those techniques.
