CAM 270 Machine Design

Lecture Hours: 1
Lab Hours: 4
Credits: 3

Covers practical design situations as related to the machining industry. The design project(s) selected will lead to a comprehensive study of parts relationships, materials application, and product design. Duo-dimensioning (English-metric), geometric tolerancing, and assembly are an integral part of this course.

Prerequisite: Fourth-term standing in the Machining Technology program; or consent of instructor.
Student Learning Outcomes:

Prepare a complete set of working drawings for the design.
Utilize duo-dimensioning on all drawings; Utilize geometric tolerancing for all drawings requiring geometric control.
Maintain production-related paperwork such as a dated design file or notebook and time sheets.
Select standardized parts and materials from industrial catalogs.
Design for the production utilizing normal shop equipment (common general machine tools, etc.), as well as project cost analysis.
Select views for clarity in the shop.
