MFT 110A Pre-Apprenticeship Skills Measurements & Calculations. This course presents math concepts necessary to be successful in an industrial environment. The course will review the basics of whole number, fraction and decimal operations, and then apply these concepts to industrial settings. These applications will include: using a calculator, calculating percentages and/or decimals, calculating hole locations, taking measurements with steel rules, micrometers and calipers, etc. Prerequisite: None 1 credit = 1 lecture MFT 110B Pre-Apprenticeship Skills Graphing & Problem Solving. This course presents the basic principles of elementary algebra as applied to an industrial setting. These concepts will include signed numbers, simple equations, graphs and coordinate systems, ratios and proportions. Prerequisite: MFT 110A 1 credit = 1 lecture MFT 110C Pre-Apprenticeship Skills Areas & Volumes. This course presents the basic principles of geometry, to include lines, angles and triangle side/angle relationships. Prerequisite: MFT 110B 1 credit = 1 lecture MFT 110D Pre-Apprenticeship Skills Spatial Skills. This course presents the basic principles of trigonometry, to include finding sine, cosine and tangent of a given angle, solve for the missing side of a triangle, use the Pythagorean Theorem, introduction to the use of Sine and Cosine Laws. Prerequisite: MFT 110C 1 credit = 1 lecture MFT 111 Machine Tools. This introductory course focuses on internationally accepted machining practices and measurement systems (inch/pound and metric). Lab projects include operating the mill, lathe, saw and drill press. Prerequisite: None 4 credits, plus 2 contact hours = 3 lecture, 3 laboratory GA MFT 150 Manufacturing Technology Co-op. This course includes six weeks or more work experience in industry that provides an intensive but varied experience in the program of study for which the student is enrolled. This on-the-job experience will be developed by the employer in conjunction with a coordinator designated by the college. There will be a written training program developed which is agreed upon by the student, employer and the college. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor 1 to 6 credits = 1 to 6 lecture/laboratory MFT 190 Machinerys Handbook. The focus of this course is the use of the Machinerys Handbook as a reference tool. Topics include mathematical tables and formulas, inch/ metric conversions factors, strength of materials, lubricants, fasteners, cutting tools, speeds and feeds, classification of ferrous and nonferrous material, service texture symbols, heat treatment and many other subjects related to manufacturing. Prerequisite: MTH 101 1 credit = 1 lecture
