COURSE SYLLABUS

1.	TITLE OF COURSE:	MILLING MACHINES AND OPERATIONS
	PREFIX/NUMBER:	MAC 131	CREDIT HOURS:	4.0
2.	PREREQUISITE:	None

3.	RESOURCES NEEDED:
	TEXT:	Machine Tool Practices, Prentice Hall, 1998 Richard R. Kibbe, John E. Neely, Roland O. Meyer, and Warren T. White
	SUPPLIES:
4.	COURSE DESCRIPTION:	Introduces vertical milling machines. The operations and applications will consist of using the machine controls, speeds and feeds, spindles, arbors and adapters cutting tools, tool holders, conventional and climb milling applications simple indexing, fixture alignments, work holding methods. Students will become familiar with set-up applications considering offset boring operations, face milling, plain milling, and precision drilling applications. Students will be required to produce parts to a tolerance of +/- .004in. and perform competencies set by manufacturing standards.
5.	COURSE GOAL:

6.	COURSE OBJECTIVES:
	By the end of the course, students will:
	(A)	Students will demonstrate milling machine safety
	(B)	Identify cutting tools, along with the types of cutting tool holders
	(C)	Perform common set-ups on the vertical milling machine
	(D)	Use rotary tables and simple indexing devices for milling and drilling applications
	(E)	Identify important components and controls on various types of milling machines
	(F)	Use work-holding devices to set-up a horizontal & vertical milling machine
	(G)	Use work-holding devices to set-up a horizontal & vertical milling machine

Special Remarks:
1.	Attendance: College policy states that students may be dropped from enrollment when absent 20% of the scheduled class meetings. If enrolled from the beginning of the term, 15 hours will usually constitute 20% of a four-credit semester course which meets five hours per week. Reinstatement procedures are described in the PCC catalog.
2.	Tardy Policy: A student who is late three times (enters classroom after the instructor has taken roll) will be charged with one full absence unless the student can provide valid reasons for one or more of these tardies.
3.	Assignments/Missed Exams: It is the student's responsibility, whether present or absent, to obtain all material presented and to complete all course assignments. If prior arrangements are made or extenuating circumstances exist, makeup of tests may be allowed. Late homework papers will not be accepted unless those same extenuating circumstances exist. Makeup of quizzes is to be at the instructor's discretion.

8.	COURSE OUTLINE:
9.	METHODS OF INSTRUCTION:
	To be successful in this course, students are expected to participate in discussions, readings, in-class writing, and peer review activities. The instructor may assign point values to such activities.
10.	ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:
	The very nature of higher education requires that students adhere to accepted standards of academic integrity. Therefore, Pueblo Community College has adopted a policy of academic conduct as described in the Student Handbook. Violation of academic integrity may be defined to include the following: cheating, plagiarism, falsification and fabrication, abuse of academic materials, complicity in academic dishonesty, and personal misrepresentation. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of the behaviors that constitute academic dishonesty. Sanctions for violating the standards of academic integrity may include warning, probation, suspension, and/or failure of the course or assignment at the discretion of the instructor.
11.	ADA NOTICE:
	Students who have a documented disability may be eligible to receive accommodations for this class. Please contact the Disability Resources Center at 549-3446 for further information.
