    Course Expectations, Goals & Routines

     We will follow the handbook on matters such as; tardiness, attendance, use of electronic devices, respect for others, eating in class, etc.  Students will be assigned a locker and safety glasses for use in the class. Students will be responsible for returning both at the end of class.  Students are responsible for the safe-keeping of their project and belongings in class.  Students will receive a  grade for daily work in the shop.  This will be recorded on a weekly basis.  Students will be required to follow all the safety rules and procedures given in class.  Students must keep a notebook with all assignments, notes and handouts from the class.

    Course Description

    PRECISION MACHINING I 

     

    Precision Machining I is a course that specializes in using modern manufacturing processes to obtain resources and change them into industrial materials, industrial products and consumer products.  Activities provide an understanding of the characteristics and properties of industrial materials and the processing of these materials into consumer goods.  Students will investigate the properties of engineering materials such as; metallics; polymers; ceramics; and composites.  After gaining a working knowledge of these materials, students will study six major types of material processes: casting and molding; forming; separating; conditioning; finishing and assembling.  In this course each of these processes is a major body of content.  It is through the study of common principles, supported by related laboratory and problem-solving activities, that understanding is developed and reinforced.
