Course Description

A technical elective course in the Associate of Applied Science Degree in the Machine Manufacturing Technology program. Covers the interaction of design with industrial materials and processes in connection with technical and economic feasibility, trade-offs and automation. Prerequisite: MCH 121.

Addendum to Course Description

This course will provide the student with an introduction to the concepts and technologies from a designer’s viewpoint of the principal manufacturing processes utilized by industry. Discussion subjects include the manufacturing system and its operating principles, casting, forming, material removal, welding, quality control, and advanced manufacturing processes, in a lecture/lab environment.

PREREQUISITE SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE:
MCH 121

Intended Outcomes for the course

This course is based on performance outcomes. The following performance outcomes are based upon established industry standards. The student will demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the following:

The operational principles of a complete manufacturing system including: Internal and External challenges; World Class Manufacturing; The Design Process; The Production Process; Material Selection; Manufacturing Process Selection
Casting Processes
Forming Processes
Material Removal Processes.
Joining Processes.
Measurement and Quality Assurance
Advanced Manufacturing Processes

Course Activities and Design

MCH 220 – Manufacturing Processes II will be presented by means of audio-visual presentations, demonstrations, lab experiences, and field trips. The course activities and design emphasize the development of skills and knowledge outcomes prescribed by established industry standards. The identified outcomes will be achieved by means of individual and team activities.

Outcome Assessment Strategies

OUTCOME ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES:

POLICY - Student performance measurements are based on typical business/industry performance standards. They are grouped into performance competencies (specific skills) and knowledge competencies (understanding specific subjects). The various areas of study during the course will be evaluated by a variety of activities. Typical of those activities are the following:

1. READING ASSIGNMENTS - Information sheets, textbooks, journal articles and the learning resource center are potential sources of information that the student will reference as directed in the modules identified in the introduction.

2. HOME WORK ASSIGNMENTS - Participation in individual or team structured problem exercises. The emphasis will be to provide introduction to the appropriate areas of study presented/discussed during the class and listed in the course syllabus.

3. LAB ACTIVITIES - Participation in structured laboratory exercises with the emphasis on developing skills or increasing expertise in the areas of study identified in the module packets.

4. FINAL ASSESSMENT - A take home examination in the form of multiple choice, true/false, matching, short answer structure that addresses the subject areas presented/discussed during the class and listed in the course content guide.

5. ATTENDANCE at all scheduled class meetings is strongly encouraged and may be considered in the final grade assignment.

6. The following schedule of weight will apply to the evaluation activities for this course.

Final Examination 35%
Home Work Assignments 35%
Laboratory Assignments 30%
