Advanced Manufacturing Technology (AMT) Program

First Semester Guide for all AMT students:

In this course, students will learn the theory and practices of machining and advanced manufacturing processes, including the history and role of machining in today's society. Students will use and maintain the lathe, mill, drill press, and common hand tools. Students will learn precision measurement and layout of metal for producing a machined part to print specifications and determining speed and feed calculations, drill-press operations, lathe operations (turning and threading), and mill setup and operation.

In this course, students will study metals including alloying, heat treating, testing and applications in industry.

In this course, students will interpret engineering drawings and specification for machinists and welders: Explanation of the rules, symbols, and relationships covered in blueprints, assembly drawings and weldments. Emphasis on American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Y14.5 Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) Standards and use of Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) for inspection of GDT specifications.

The students will learn the fundamentals of arc and oxy-acetylene welding, and oxy-acetylene flame cutting. Topics will include safety, shop practices, and preparation for American Welding Society (AWS) welding certifications.
