MAC 141A Machining Applications I Lab

Lecture: 0 Lab: 6 Clinic: 0 Credits: 2

This course provides an introduction to a variety of material-working processes, in a laboratory setting, that are common to the machining industry. Topics include safety, process-specific machining equipment, measurement devices, set-up and layout instruments, and common shop practices. Upon completion, students should be able to safely demonstrate basic machining operations, accurately measure components, and effectively use layout instruments.

Co-requisite(s): MAC 114, MAC 131, and MAC 141.
Course is typically offered in Fall.
