Description
AMFTI-111 INTRODUCTION TO MANUFACTURING 3   This course is designed to impart technical
knowledge and skills for the use of manufacturing
      equipment and procedures. The knowledge and skills
      mastered in this class are an introduction to
      design and production in the manufacturing
      process. Material covered will include:
      Principles of manufacturing, manufacturing
      materials, an introduction to Computer Integrated
      Manufacturing (CIM), along with Federal and state
      OSHA requirements.  Production and general
      properties of common engineering materials such as
      iron, steel, zinc, copper, aluminum, and plastics;
      the fundamentals of material processing such as
      powder metallurgy, hot and cold forming and
      shearing; and the basic surface protection
      processes such as cleaning, painting, and plating.

AMFTI-121 INTRODUCTION TO CAD 3   An introduction to the engineering graphic
      principles and the use of drafting tools to
      include; line work, lettering, applied geometry,
      dimensioning and orthographic projections. The
      student will, upon completion of this course, be
      able to create, using Computer Aided Drafting
      (CAD), 2-D construction, using advanced commands,
      sketching and orthographic views.
      Pre-requisite/Co-requisite  MTHPT 103/123

AMFTI-123 ENGINEERING GRAPHICS USING AUTOCAD 3 Applying engineering graphic principles using CAD
for sectional views, auxiliary views,
      dimensioning, tolerancing, geometric tolerances,
      threads and fastners, working drawings, and gears,
      bearings and cams. This course in CAD will
      emphasize visualization and spatial  relations.
      Construction principles, input schemes, command
      structures and data management will be studied and
      combined into a design project at course
      conclusion.
      Pre-requisite MTHPT 103/123

AMFTI-125 ENGINEERING GRAPHICS APPLICATIONS 3   An advanced course using engineering graphic
principles with AutoCAD to include:  fundamentals
      of 3D drawing, surface modeling, solid modeling,
      and descriptive geometry. Upon completion of this
      course, the student, using CAD will be able to
      create the fundamental concepts to produce 3D
      drawings and create 3D objects using surface
      modeling and solid modeling.  The student will be
      able to apply precision dimensioning and
      development to working drawings and technical
      illustrations.
      Pre-requisite/Co-requisite MTHPT 103/123

AMFTI-141 INTRODUCTION TO MACHINE PROCESSES 3   This course provides practical hands-on
application of manual machine processes: drilling,
      tapping, milling, grinding, with applications of
      brazing and welding, and the study of material and
      process manufacturing. The second section provides
      the students with the knowledge for lab operation
      of machining special attachments, bench work,
      layout, heat-treating, hardness testing, layout
      inspection, jig and fixture setup, and tool
      design.
      Pre-requisite MTHPT 103/123.

AMFTI-143 MACHINE PROCESSES 3   This course provides the students with the
      knowledge for lab operation of machining, special
      attachments, bench work, layout, heat-treating,
      hardness testing, layout inspection, jig and
      fixture setup, tool design.  The final section of
      this course is designed to provide the students
      with the development of manufacturing plans for
      the efficient manufacturing of moderately complex
      products. Individualized laboratory practice will
      integrate the textbook, reference manuals and
      technical tools placing emphasis on the production
      of moderately complex products using production
      machines, setups, and fixtures.
      Pre-requisite AMFTI 141
AMFTI-145 INTRODUCTION TO NC AND CNC 3   This course will cover the introduction to
numerical controls for x, y, and z-axis
      application, tool controls for hole and milling
      operations, blueprint reading for NC and CNC
      programming, and Geometric Dimensioning and
      Tolerancing for NC programming. Programming will
      include hole operation, linear profiles, circular
      profiles, cutter diameter compensation, and
      programming with subprograms. Pre-requisite AMFTI
      143
AMFTI-241 INTRODUCTORY CAD AND CAM 3 4 This course will teach the elementary principles
of Computer Aided Machining (CAM) and Computer
      Numerical Controlled (CNC) machining. The course
      introduces the manufacturing or engineering
      student to the world of turning a virtual object
      into an actual object, (going from Art to Part).
      Students taking the course for 4 credits will be
      required to complete a 2-D project and written
      report. Pre-requisite AMFTI 145.
AMFTI-243 ADVANCED CAD AND CAM 3 4 A continuation in the study of G and M codes from
