Course Descriptions
PMT 221 Advanced Turning Processes
2 Credits (.5 Lecture 1 Lab .5 Shop)
4 Hrs/Wk (.5 Hr. Lecture 2 Hrs. Lab 1.5 Hrs.
Shop) *15 wks
This course covers the machinability of metals,
carbide identifi cation systems, speeds and
feeds for carbide tooling and silver soldering of
carbide tooling. Metric threading and eccentric
turning will be demonstrated by the students.
Prerequi site: PMT 211 or instructor permission.
PMT 222 Advanced Milling Processes
2 Credits (.5 Lecture 1 Lab .5 Shop)
4 Hrs/Wk (.5 Hr. Lecture 2 Hrs. Lab 1.5 Hrs.
Shop) *15 wks
Advanced milling machining processes are covered
in this course including angular, contour,
and slotting operations. Precision reaming operations
with hole tolerances of + .001 of an
inch will be performed. Parts will be machined
square to a tolerance of .003 over a two inch
surface and parallel within .002 of an inch. Hole
to hole locations will be machined with a tolerance
of + .005 of an inch. Holes will be bored
using the offset boring head to a tolerance of +
.001 of an inch. The student will cut gears using
both direct and simple indexing to perform this
task. Each student will produce a NIMS level 1
vertical milling part and if successful will do the
online test to earn a NIMS credential. Prerequisite:
PMT 212 or instructor permission.
PMT 227 Advanced Toolmaking Techniques
2 Credits (.5 Lecture 1 Lab .5 Shop)
4 Hrs/Wk (.5 Hr. Lecture 2 Hrs. Lab 1.5 Hrs.
Shop) *15 wks
This course will expand upon the toolmak ing
skills acquired in PMT 217 Introduction to Toolmaking.
More in depth instruction on the function
and construction of jigs, fix tures and dies
will be covered along with the study of plastic
injection molds. Pre requisite: PMT 217 or instructor
permission.
PMT 228 Metallurgy
1 Credit (1 Lecture 0 Lab 0 Shop)
1 Hr/Wk (1 Lecture) *15 wks
This course develops familiarization with the
various ferrous and non-ferrous metals used in
the machine tool industry. Various methods of
heat treatment of tool steel will be discussed.
The use of alternative mate rials such as lightweight
carbon fi ber and plastics will also be
taught.
PMT 229 Advanced CNC Part II
2 Credits (.5 Lecture 1 Lab .5 Shop)
4 Hrs/Wk (.5 Hr. Lecture 2 Hrs. Lab 1.5 Hrs.
Shop) *15 wks
This course is a continuation of the PMT 214
class. Students will continue building there
skill set using Master Cam by programming
more complex parts. Students will continue to
build upon there skill set with the set-up and
running on CNC machines with more complex
parts and work holding techniques. An emphasis
on reduced set-up times and more efficient
machining times will be introduced. Students
will have one instructor led project that will require
working in small groups. Outside of this
project students will have to program and run
a minimum of one CNC Milling part as well as
one CNC Lathe part. These projects can be
chosen by the students with faculty approval, or
the instructor can assign projects if necessary.
Prerequisite: PMT 115, 117, 124, and 214 or
instructor permission.

Development of the young child, from con ception
to pre-adolescence, will be studied through presentation
of theory, observation of children, and
review of the current research. This will provide
a holistic con tent for understanding the many
variables that influence the on-going growth and
development of young children. This course will
also provide the basis for creat ing developmentally
appropriate curriculum for children birth
through age eight years.
PSY 116 Psychology of Group Dynamics

such as roles, rules, structure, norms, cohesion,
conflict, leadership roles and styles will be explored.
Emphasis will be on the principle dynamics
of group interaction, group deci sion-making,
and these may be applied in the therapeutic
milieu, and within organiza tions. Students will
demonstrate a basic knowledge and demonstration
of skills use ful in working in and with groups,
through participation in structured exercises.
