2011 - 2012 Student Calendar - Helena College of Technology

Metals TechnologyMetals Technology is designed to prepare students as entry-level technicians in many areas, including automotive machining,tool and die making, mold making, job shop machinist, gun smithing, lay-out and inspection welding, new constructionwelder, and fabrication. Students will study machining processes and procedures, properties of metals, blueprintreading, and inspection techniques. Welding skills (including practical, theoretical, and technical training) are taught usingoxyacetylene, manual stick electrode, semiautomatic Mig, Tig (Heliarc), dualshield Mig, and various additional processes.Miller Electric has chosen UM-Helena as one of its regional training centers. Therefore, students will receive training on thelatest state-of-the-art equipment in Mig, Tig (Heliarc) and Stick Electrode. Students will work from blueprints, follow exactspecifications, and apply practical shop math to accomplish the required tasks. Much of the lab time in both areas will be usedfor shop project work.An educational background in mechanical drawing, shop math, welding, and mechanical welding is helpful. Students arerequired to have a basic set of tools upon entrance to the program as outlined in the tool section of this catalog.Students may begin their instruction in the two-year Metals Technology program, depending upon the space available, ineither the machine tool or the welding area.Faculty Advisors:Tim Harris, Tom Jungst, Seth Slocum, Art Warner, and Glen ZeiglerMetals TechnologyStudents selecting machine tool first year follow this sequence of courses.Length of Program: 4 SemestersType of Program: Associate of Applied ScienceSemester of Entry: FallFirst SemesterCourseNumber Course Title Credits MACH110 Machine Shop.....................................................................................................................................3 MACH115 Introduction to Engine Lathes..........................................................................................................5 MACH120 Introduction to Mills..........................................................................................................................5 MACH125 Blueprint Reading for the Machinist...............................................................................................2 M111T Technical Mathematics......................................................................................................................3Total Credits.....................................................................................................................................18Second Semester MACH132 Advanced Lathes ...............................................................................................................................5 MACH137 Advanced Mills..................................................................................................................................5 MACH140 Grinding Applications.......................................................................................................................2 MACH245 Metallurgy...........................................................................................................................................1 MACH250 Shop Practices.....................................................................................................................................2 CAPP131 Basic MS Office...................................................................................................................................3Total Credits.....................................................................................................................................18 (36)Third Semester WLDG105 Shop Safety..........................................................................................................................................1 WLDG117 Blueprint Reading and Weld Symbols............................................................................................3 WLDG132 Estimating of Job Materials..............................................................................................................3 WLDG133 GMAW, FCAW, and GMAW-P........................................................................................................4 WLDG180 Shielded Metal Arc Welding.............................................................................................................4 WRIT121T Introduction to Technical Writing...................................................................................................3Total Credits.....................................................................................................................................18Fourth Semester WLDG131 Intro to Layout and Pattern Making................................................................................................3 WLDG140 Intro Gas Tungsten ARC Welding (GTAW) - Integrated Lab......................................................3 WLDG151 Shop Practices ....................................................................................................................................4 WLDG155 Design and Fabrication ....................................................................................................................4 WLDG160 Rigging for Welders...........................................................................................................................1 HR110T Career Development and Human Relations..................................................................................3Total Credits.....................................................................................................................................18 (72)UM-Helena College of Technology 2011 - 2012 Academic Catalog 63
