ATAP 2915 - Advanced CNC Mill G&M Code Programming & Machining

Credits: 3.00
(4 contact hrs)
This course teaches advanced concepts for print reading, applied geometry and trigonometry, CNC Mill G&M code programming, machining center setup (fixture design & build, tool assembly), CNC milling, and final inspection. Through teamwork, students process jobs from start to finish while developing confidence and honing their skills. This course provides a hand-on opportunity for students to “apply” their knowledge and leadership skills in the field of CNC mill machining. South Campus.

Pre & Co Requisite(s): Prerequisite: ATAP-2310

OUTCOMES AND OBJECTIVES
Outcome 1: The student will apply their knowledge in Mill G&M code programming, machining center setup, CNC milling, and part inspection to produce one or more machined parts.

Objective:

Develop G&M code programs with little supervision
Setup and machine parts on CNC Machining Centers
Inspect parts using common inspection tools on a surface plate
Develop a cost analysis

Outcome 2: The student will apply advanced concepts for print reading and applied mathematics.

Objective:

Read and interpret blueprints
Solve applied math problems required for G&M code programming using applied geometry and trigonometry

Outcome 3: The student will develop a portfolio for job interviews.

Objective:

Meet with Career Services to develop a resume
Organize particular assignments to align with student portfolio
Include one physical CNC machined part
Include accompanying process documentation
Include additional sampling of drawings and renderings representative of their knowledge in the field
Include summary of problems encountered during the machining of the part, accompanied by how they came to each resolution

Outcome 4: Students will develop leadership skills.

Objective:

Work effectively on joint projects through teamwork
Head projects from start to finish, including complete lineups
