ADMF 115 - Materials and Processes for Manufacturing


PROGRAM: Advanced Automation and Robotics Technology
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
TOTAL CONTACT HOURS MIN: 4
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Fall, 2019

Introduces materials and processes common to Advanced Manufacturing Technology.  This course will emphasize a practical understanding of materials used in production processes.  Techniques for proper selection, evaluation, measurement and testing of materials will be covered.  Students will be required to perform basic manual and machine production processes in a project oriented learning environment.

MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:

  1. Interpret standard metallurgical and chemical terms. 

  2. Identify the mechanical properties of steels and alloys. 

  3. Describe the crystalline structure of metals. 

  4. Describe the theory of failure and deformation of metals. 

  5. Describe the theory of heat treatment of metals. 

  6. Develop manufacturing production skills using hand and machine tools. 

  7. Develop and utilize mathematical formulas to compute coordinates and solve machining related problems. 

  8. Apply basic knowledge of physics-mechanics to machining/tooling problems. 

  9. Identify and demonstrate correct use of tools, materials, and equipment used in the industry. 

  10. Solve mathematical problems related to machining operations. 

  11. Verbally describe and interpret data obtained from engineering drawings. 

  12. Communicate effectively using listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. 

  13. Use quantitative analytical skills to evaluate and process numerical data. 

  14. Solve problems using critical and creative thinking skills. 

  15. Demonstrate knowledge of diverse cultures, including global and historical perspectives.

  16. Describe how natural systems function, and recognize the impact of human beings on the environment.
