ENST 2343 CNC & Automation

3 [2 lecture hours + 3 lab hours] (5 contact hours/week)] Credit Hour(s) Credit Hour(s)

This course is based on the CNC Milling machine using 3-axis programs and applications. An integrated systems approach is used to identify and distinguish mechanical work systems, sensor and feedback systems, and software-based inputs and outputs. Computer-assisted methods will be taught with particular emphasis placed on projects to enhance hands-on operational experience. The course will include such topics as basic codes, post-processing, and the troubleshooting of machine tool error codes (system & program faults).
Student Learning Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:

Evaluate machining process during cutting operations to determine the sequence of operations.
Develop a working knowledge of machine tool codes using MDI methods to demonstrate the integration of subsystems to perform work.
Demonstrate troubleshooting of machine tool error codes (to identify and isolate system faults from program faults.

Prerequisite(s): INET 1004
This course is not designed for transfer to four-year universities. Students should check course recommendations with the college or university they intend to transfer to for a baccalaureate degree. The receiving institution always makes the final decision about the transferability of credits.
