10 courses with the subject ETMF, 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.
ETMF 1210Industrial Materials and Processes and Lab3
(s) A study of industrial materials and processes with emphasis on both metals and non-metals, their properties, selection and use. Included will be material molding, forming, shaping, joining, and etc. Basic machining will be covered with lab experiences to include bench layout, milling, drilling, turning and sawing. CNC programming will be introduced, with students writing a simple G&M code program manually. F. (NIT) 2 hours lecture/2 hours laboratory
(s) A study of the SPC quality function within the manufacturing environment for data collection, organization, and analysis. The course includes techniques used to construct check sheets and control charts for variable and attribute data to determine process control and capability. In conjunction with the above, the diagnostic journey will include Pareto charts, and cause and effect diagrams along with reading and interpretation of manufacturing blueprints and GD&T. Also included are the techniques and instruments used in measuring product characteristics. Computer methods will be discussed.
Completion of all Learning Support competencies in Math or permission of instructor. S. (NIT) 2 hours lecture/2 hours laboratory
ETMF 1550Root Cause Analysis and Problem Solving2
(s) A study of root cause analysis and problem solving. The seven quality tools will be explored in depth, as the course will introduce the student to statistical approaches to root cause analysis and problem solving. Students will learn and apply statistical tools to separate the vital few process variables from the trivial many that exist in any process. Proper experimentation techniques will be discussed.
ETMF 1610Introduction to Industrial Print Reading3
(s) A study of drawing topics that will include lettering, sketching, dimensioning, projections, drawing perspectives, sectional views, reading of machine and mechanical drawings, tooling blueprints, and welding and fabrication drawings used in industrial systems. A brief introduction to Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing is included. As needed. (NIT) 3 hours lecture
(s) A study of the characteristics for effective supervision with emphasis on communications and organizational relationships. Workforce motivational factors are discussed, as well as exercises in staffing, promotion and personality traits. Topics also include the role of the supervisor within the management structure, the responsibilities of supervision, and regulatory and legal ramifications of supervisory behavior and decisions. This study emphasizes leadership, teamwork, and Lean methods with a strong human relations emphasis.
ETMF 2610 or permission of instructor. S. (NIT) 3 hours lecture
ETMF 2500Project Scheduling3
(s) A detailed study in planning, organizing, and controlling projects. Computer software is used to schedule projects. Emphasis is placed on time, resources, and capital considerations for the project. Lecture, team projects, computer lab, and presentations.
Completion of all Learning Support competencies in Math or permission of instructor. F. (NIT)
ETMF 2610Occupational Safety3
(s) A study of the Tennessee Annotated Codes pertaining to Workman’s Compensation and the Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health Administration (TOSHA). Topics include employee and managerial responsibility to potential safety and health situations. Other topics include hazards, fire safety, the anatomy of fire, spills and releases and emergency response. Total Safety Management, liabilities, safety systems, accident prevention and accident reporting with emergency response. An introduction to the EPA and disposal of hazardous wastes are addressed in this course as well. S. (NIT) 3 hours lecture
(s) A study of the Toyota Production System with topics including Lean Manufacturing, JIT, KanBan, Agile, Flexible Manufacturing, Facilities Planning and Work Standards.
Completion of all Learning Support competencies in Math or permission of instructor. F. (NIT) 3 hours lecture
ETMF 2750Engineering Economy3
(s) An economic study of manufacturing. Amortization, cash flow, rates of return, depreciation, present work analyses, time value of money, capital recovery and tax implications, and cost estimation. S. (NIT)
(s) A study of the capabilities, programming procedures, advantages and disadvantages of numerical control (N/C) and computerized numerical control (CNC) metal working machine tools. Manual methods for generating, debugging and running point-to-point and continuous path programs including linear and circular interpolation, canned cycles, loops, and subroutines to produce work pieces of increasing complexity. Manual methods for generating, debugging and operating robotic equipment will also be covered. Pre/Corequisite(s): ETMF 1210, ETMF 2200 or permission of instructor. As needed. (NIT) 2 hours lecture/2 hours laboratory
