Machine Tech (Apprenticeship) MTA102 - Basic Print Reading and Shop Theory Course provides pre-apprenticeship training. Content includes study of machine shop theory with focus on reading machine prints. Course meets requirements of classroom related theory for the apprentice machinist, mold maker, tool and die maker, model maker, and inspector. Completion of course with minimum grade of C should enable student to interpret prints used in industry. Credit cannot be received in both MTA 102 and MTA 110. 4 Credit Hours (lecture: 4; lab: 0) MTA105 - Jig and Fixture Design and Theory Course explores how to plan and determine the length of time and basic cost of various machining operations. Content focus is on jig and fixture design and theory, and the use of this theory in computer numerical control (CNC) and robotic work; review and discussion of. Proper CNC setup procedures such as location, supporting, and clamping of parts. Completion of course with minimum grade of C will provide basic understanding of how piece parts are machined in industry. 4 Credit Hours (lecture: 4; lab: 0) MTA110 - Basic Machine Technology Course provides pre-apprenticeship training.
