speeds to accurately and efficiently produce a manufactured
part.
MT-11 Intermediate Manufacturing Technology
(4 units lecture/lab) Grade Only CSU Combines the theories of
lathe and grinding machine operations along with technical
information to manufacture parts to industry standards.
Course work includes a review of basic lathe and grinding
machine operations progressing into intermediate level
techniques and setups used in modern manufacturing.
Prerequisite: MT-10
MT-12 Advanced Manufacturing Technology
(4 units lecture/lab) Grade Only CSU An in-depth study of
milling machine operations and practices. Course content
includes concepts and practices required and used by
contemporary industry and the application of theory and
machine operation to complete projects. Projects include
general and rotary milling, precise boring, indexing, and gear
manufacturing. In addition the proper application of modern
cutting tool materials is discussed. Prerequisite: MT-11
MT-13 Manufacturing Technology Capstone
(4 units lecture/lab) Grade Only CSU The capstone of the
Manufacturing Technology Program. The latest technology
at the high-end of manufacturing is covered. Course work
includes four and five-axis manufacturing, plunge and wire
electrical discharge machining (EDM), rapid prototyping
systems, and laser cutting/engraving. Prerequisite: MT-54B and
MT-59B and MT-12
MT-52 Ferrous Metallurgy
(3 units lecture/lab) CR/NC option CSU A study of ferrous
metals as they are used in industry. Phase and isothermal
transformation diagrams are covered in relation to
experiments in heat treating. The class takes the student on a
study of metals from the ore state to manufacturing a product.
Students participate in specimen heat-treating, etching,
polishing, and microscopic examination.
MT-54A Introduction to Computer Numerical Control
(4 units lecture/lab) Grade Only CSU An introduction
to Computer Numerical Control (CNC) including its
history, application, control units, types of machine tools,
programming, and transfer mediums. The course will focus
on manual and automatic operation of Bridgeport and Fanuc
style CNC machine tools. Students will learn to control
machine tools by writing computer programs using industry
standard programming protocols. Prerequisite: MT-10

enrollments This course covers numerical controlled machining
including its application, control units, type of machine tools,
positioning, tape, and tape processing equipment. Instruction
is given in manual operation of SLO-SYN control unit and
basic programming for point to point and continuous path
operation. Students will operate the Bridgeport Series I
computer numerical control vertical mill with Boss 8 control
and Mori-Seiki/ Yasnac lathe. Prerequisite: MT-54B
MT-59A MasterCAM 2-D Programming
(4 units lecture/lab) Grade Only CSU This course covers
numerical controlled machining including its application,
control units, type of machine tools, positioning, tape, and
tape processing equipment. Instruction is given in manual
operation of SLO-SYN control unit and basic programming for
point to point and continuous path operation. Students will
operate the Bridgeport Series I computer numerical control
vertical mill with Boss 8 control and Mori-Seiki/ Yasnac lathe.
