4 Credit Hours
Student Level:
This course is open to students on the college level in either the freshman or sophomore year and to area high school vocational students.
Catalog Description:
MTT3573 - CAD/CAM II (4 hrs.)
An advanced class using CAD/CAM and an introduction to the machinery used in the metalworking industry of today, including job planning, assembly, and tooling for production. Skill in the operation of such machines as CNC lathes, and CNC mills.
Course Classification:
Lab
Prerequisites:
MTT3572 CAD/CAM I
Controlling Purpose:
This course is an advanced course to offer the student the function of production machinery as applied to the metalworking industry. The curriculum will include skill development in the operation of CAD/CAM programs and operation of such machines as the CNC Mill, CNC Lathe. Students will learn the process of production, from design to implementing the product into production.
Learner Outcomes:
After completing this unit, the student will be able to draw, program and produce parts similar to what they will see in industry. The student will also demonstrate safety of and use of the equipment to perform linear moves, angular moves, circular movements, CNC lathe turning and threading. In addition, the student will demonstrate to other students the skills they need assistance in.
Unit Outcomes for Criterion Based Evaluation:
The following outline defines the minimum core content not including the final examination period. Instructors may add other material as time allows.
UNIT 1: Advanced Milling Operations
Outcomes: Upon completion of this unit, the student will be able to successfully perform operations on both a Hass CNC mill and a Cincinnati CNC mill.

Course Time Frame:
The U.S. Department of Education, Higher Learning Commission and the Kansas Board of Regents define credit hour and have specific regulations that the college must follow when developing, teaching and assessing the educational aspects of the college. A credit hour is an amount of work represented in intended learning outcomes and verified by evidence of student achievement that is an institutionally-established equivalency that reasonably approximates not less than one hour of classroom or direct faculty instruction and a minimum of two hours of out-of-class student work for approximately fifteen weeks for one semester hour of credit or an equivalent amount of work over a different amount of time. The number of semester hours of credit allowed for each distance education or blended hybrid courses shall be assigned by the college based on the amount of time needed to achieve the same course outcomes in a purely face-to-face format.
