MPRO 101 - Shop Mathematics

1. Apply the rules relating to the four basic mathematical processes as applied to whole numbers, common fractions, and decimal fractions in present day machine shop and industrial maintenance application.
2. Calculate powers and roots encountered in solving for area, weight, volume of: flat objects, rectangular solids, cylinders, and conical objects, common to the mechanical occupations.
3. Compute and convert English and metric units of measurement.
4. Apply concepts of precision, error and tolerance, using rules, gages, gage blocks, calipers and micrometers found in our quality-conscious marketplace.
5. Express physical relationships as letters in the form of formulas, allowing manipulation and resulting in a calculated solution.
6. Apply the fundamentals of plane geometry in the planning, making, checking of machined or fabricated parts for new applications or repairs.
7. Apply trigonometric principles regarding right, acute, and oblique triangles in the course of creating products and related fixtures, tooling, and structures.
8. Solve manufacturing and maintenance problems regarding force, and force direction, using vector (directional) concepts.
9. Apply solid geometry and trigonometry principles common to machining components and fixtures.
