Course Descriptions

Machine Tool Technology (MTT)

Technology Division

Introduces basic machine shop skills which include lathe operation, lathe speeds and feeds, precision measuring techniques, layout methods, band saw and drill press operations, and exposure to the science of heat-treating of metals. Shop safety and etiquette will be stressed. To develop entry level skills, MTT 110 is recommended. Note: Non-transferable for an NSHE baccalaureate degree. Non-applicable towards an AA or AS Degree.

MTT 106: Machine Shop Practice I

Units (Credits): 2; Corequisites: MTT 105

Expands the student's manual skills by putting into practice the theories, and user skills introduced in MTT 105. The emphasis will be geared to a more practical, hands-on experience through the use of lathes, layout techniques, vertical and horizontal band saws, measuring instruments and some vertical mill work. Shop safety and cleanup are always stressed. Note: Non-transferable for an NSHE baccalaureate degree. Non-applicable towards an AA or AS Degree.

MTT 110: Machine Shop II

Units (Credits): 3; Prerequisites: MTT 105 & AMP;MATH110, MATH 120, MATH 126 or higher or consent of instructor

Expands skills introduced in MTT 105 to an intermediate level and introduces further skills which include vertical mill, drill sharpening, speed feeds and some production methods. Note: Non-transferable for an NSHE baccalaureate degree. Non-applicable towards an AA or AS Degree.

MTT 111: Machine Shop Practice II

Units (Credits): 2; Corequisites: MTT 110

Further develops student's manual skills by putting into practice the theories and user skills introduced MTT 110. The emphasis will be a more practical, hands-on experience through the use of vertical mill work, layout techniques, vertical and horizontal band saws, measuring instruments and some lathes. Shop safety and cleanup are always stressed. Note: Non-transferable for an NSHE baccalaureate degree. Non-applicable towards an AA or AS Degree.

MTT 230: Computer Numerical Control I

Units (Credits): 4; Prerequisites: MTT 105 & AMP;MTT110 & AMP;COT105, COT 204 or consent of instructor

Offers an introductory class to provide a basic understanding of computer numerical control. The student is introduced to the axis systems, absolute and incremental programming, tool offsets, controller operation, and fixture offsets. To better understand CNC programming process, CNC II is recommended as a follow-up. Includes three hours lecture, three hours lab per week. Note: Non-transferable for an NSHE baccalaureate degree. Non-applicable towards an AA or AS Degree.

MTT 232: Computer Numerical Control II

Units (Credits): 4; Prerequisites: MTT 230 or consent of instructor

Provides a continuation of MTT 230. Offers the student additional practical experience for development of skills with additional information and exposure to more complex applications of programming, mirror imaging, polar coordinates, tool compensation, threading and computer integrated manufacturing. Includes three hours lecture, three hours lab per week. Note: Non-transferable for an NSHE baccalaureate degree. Non-applicable towards an AA or AS Degree.

MTT 250: Machine Shop III

Units (Credits): 3; Prerequisites: MTT 110 & AMP;DFT110 or consent of instructor

Expands skills introduced in MTT 105 and MTT 110 to a more advanced level by developing projects that emphasize tolerances, plan of procedure and blueprint reading. Introduces further skills for surface grinding and tool and cutter grinding. Note: Non-transferable for an NSHE baccalaureate degree. Non-applicable towards an AA or AS Degree.

MTT 251: Machine Shop Practice III

Units (Credits): 2; Corequisites: MTT 250

Further develops student's manual skills by putting into practice the theories and user skills introduced in MTT 250.
