The courses will meet Monday and Wednesdays with optional Fridays, 9 – 11:30 a.m. 

Teaching duties may include:

CIMN 1110 Machining Processes (3.78 units of load)

Course Description: This course introduces students to basic material removal processes and equipment used in manufacturing, including machine tools and accessories; cutting principles and chip formation; inspection and quality control; determination of feed, speed, depth of cut, material removal rate, and horsepower; process procedures for both producing and inspecting a part; and automation, robotics, numerical control, flexible manufacturing and computer integrated manufacturing (CIM). Laboratory experience includes the creation of operation sheets and inspection forms, selection or calculation of operating variables, machining and inspecting parts produced; and the analysis, evaluation and communication of results and conclusions. Students must provide safety glasses for use in the laboratory and a portable calculator capable of exponents and roots. (4 contact hours: 2 lecture, 2 lab)

CIMN 1420 CNC Part Programming (2.78 units of load)

Course Description: This course introduces students to the history and terminology of computer numerical control (CNC) and the development of CNC programs using International Standards Organization (ISO) coding system (G-codes) mode including part analysis, tool selection, program development, program input, tool path simulation, editing, speed and feed determination, and part manufacture. Laboratory experience includes writing simple CNC programs; entering, downloading, and simulating tool path; and examples of machining simple parts on CNC milling and turning centers. (3 contact hours: 1 lecture, 2 lab)

CIMN 1430 Introduction to Part Programming (2.78 units of load)

Course Description: This course introduces students to Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) and the development of multi-axis CNC part programs and files ready for downloading to machining and turning centers. Laboratory experience includes blueprint analysis to determine part holding method, order of operations, tooling, feeds and speeds, creation of part and fixture geometry, definition of tool paths, graphical verification of tool path, and post processing to generate ISO or Conversational CNC code for milling machine, turning machine, machining center, turning center and wire machine applications. (3 contact hours: 1 lecture, 2 lab)

CIMN 1450 Programming CNC Lathes (2.78 units of load)

This course, a continuation of  CIMN 1420Computer Numerical Control Part Programming (CNC), introduces students to advanced features of setting-up and programming CNC turning centers using ISO standard (G-codes) mode of programming including fixed cycles and multiple repetitive cycles (automatic repeat cycles) dealing with roughing, finishing and threading. Laboratory experience includes the production of parts conforming to print specification with progressively more comprehensive turning programs.

(3 contact hours: 1 lecture, 2 lab)
