MACH 267 (1 credit) Electrical Discharge Machining Both theoretical and practical application of electrical discharge machining are taught. Students learn how EDM machining is performed by individually setting-up, programming, and completing lab assignments on a wire EDM machine. Prerequisites: MACH 158 and MACH 161 MACH 272 (3 credits) Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Machining (CAD/CAM) II This course teaches intermediate-level use of MasterCAM® as a tool for defining part geometry for both lathe and milling. Two-axis and three-axis applications are demonstrated along with the use of CAD/CAM applications. Threedimensional surfacing and solids are taught. Prerequisite: MACH 222 MACH 276 (3 credits) Computer Numerical Control (CNC) III Provides students with additional time to perform specific advanced laboratory exercises in both programming and setup operations on the CNC equipment. Advanced concepts studied include CAM applications, cavity milling ramping, threading, and live tooling on the lathe. A manufacturing group project are completed that utilizes CAM and CNC. Prerequisite: MACH 227 MACH 277 (4 credits) Machine Skills Lab III This is a lab-based course and offers hands-on experience under work-like conditions. In-depth CNC and manual projects build on skills acquired in previous coursework. Students are required to perform operations on both CNC and manual equipment in order to complete lab assignments. Upon successful completion of this course, students should have the necessary skills to be employed as an entry-level machinist. Prerequisites: MACH 227 and MACH 229 MACH 278 (3 credits) Computer-Aided Design Machining (CAD/CAM) III and Computer-Aided This course teaches an intermediate level use of CAD/CAM software for generating code for use on multi-axis machine tools. Solid modeling will be introduced as a design tool as well as a method for generating NC code. This course will emphasize the connection between design and machine tool applications.
