MPRO 100 - Introduction to Plant Floor and CNC Principles


PROGRAM: Manufacturing Production and Operations
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 3
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Spring, 2019

Introduces the basic concepts of manufacturing operations and plant floor layout in the production environment. Applications of Computer Numerical Control for milling, lathe and turning operations are developed as a foundation for machining operations. Coordinate system concepts are introduced relevant to the machining processes.
