Course Description

Many of Module 2 courses build on coursework from Module 1.

Math II (3 hours)
Topics include writing and reading decimals; conversions of fractions to decimals; conversions of US Standard Units to metric; and addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of decimals. Numerous hands-on practice exercises will be included.

Metrology II and Math III (2.5 hours)
This course covers percent (introduction of percent, percent problems, applications of percent calculations including discount, interest, commission, efficiency, tolerances, percent change) and measurement (working with measurement numbers including tolerance, units, accuracy, etc., units and unit conversion, metric units, and direct measurements of length, micrometers, Vernier micrometers, etc.). Students will learn how to understand and interpret capability studies, sigma, CP and CPK values, interpret results and make recommendations; basic GD&T measurements (run-outs, parallel, perpendicularity, angularity, profile); interpret callouts, select appropriate equipment. Perform measurements and interpret results. They will also complete a full-dimensional layout and use CMM. A final class project will require use of blueprint dimensions, calculations and quality control to lay out parts.

Blueprint Reading II (4 hours)
This course covers three-dimensional drawings (oblique sketching, isometric sketching), dimensioning  ((dimension lines, leader lines, extension lines, implied dimensions, linear dimensions, angular dimensions), threads (thread terminology, thread forms, inch threads, metric threads), and standard features (slots and groves, reference dimensions, holes, counter bores, spot face, countersink, tapers, surface texture, radii, key seats and keyways, features of size, patterns of features). Participants will also learn to recognize welding symbols (types of welds, types of joints, basic weld symbols, and supplementary weld symbols). Participants are encouraged to bring their own prints for discussion.

GD&T (2.5 hours)
This course covers percent (introduction of percent, percent problems, applications of percent calculations including discount, interest, commission, efficiency, tolerances, percent change) and measurement (working with measurement numbers including tolerance, units accuracy, etc., units and unit conversion, metric units, and direct measurements of length, micrometers, Vernier micrometers, etc.). Students will learn how to understand and interpret capability studies, sigma, CP and CPK values, interpret results and make recommendations; basic GD&T measurements (run-outs, parallel, perpendicularity, angularity, profile); interpret callouts, select appropriate equipment. Perform measurements and interpret results. They will also complete a full-dimensional layout and use CMM. A final class project will require use of blueprint dimensions, calculations and quality control to lay out parts.

CNC Lathe Operation (6 hours)
This class will be a 6-hour training that will combine with multiple other lecture and hands-on courses for our Entry-Level CNC Lathe Training Program. As this training expands we could offer this course on a range of 6-10 hours depending on additional hands-on exercises. This class is designed for groups of four students to be able to perform many of the hands-on processes being taught as part of the lesson plan.

This course will review the material from the Introduction to CNC Lathe course and the four students will be given the opportunity to observe the instructor while installing tooling, chucking up the stock/part and touching off the part of the first day of this course.
