This course is an advanced study of machine tool technology and is preparatory for anyone who is interested in the metal finishing field. The three levels of this course will revisit and delve deeper into shop safety, precision measurements, and layout work. Instruction will range from basic set-ups and operations on the lathe, mill, surface grinder, drill press, and band saws to complex set up in fixturing, product design and development. Students will cover computer numerical control (CNC) and CAD-CAM operations with emphasis on G&M code programming. Basic welding is also covered. Articulation with Macomb Community College can provide up to 12 credits in the applied technology program on a student’s successful completion of levels 1 and 2 of this class. Integrated into the class will be applications of Algebra I & II and Geometry.
