Subject Title
Material and Machining Fundamentals

Subject Description
Advanced manufacturing relies on precision machining. In this course, material and machining fundamentals will be covered. Students will work with a wide variety of machines and equipment found in advance manufacturing labs. This course uses project work to challenge and develop students' skills in basic machining while manufacturing a number of components using various machine tools.  Safe working habits and understanding operational planning are emphasized in this course. By understanding, the relationship between an engineering drawing and manufacturing process students will learn to apply troubleshooting strategies to identify, localize and where possible correct their project work. Students gain basic machining related knowledge and experience that would allow for an understanding of how mechanical components are machined.

Credit Status
Full credit status towards a college program.

Camera Use and Recordings - Synchronous (Live) Classes
Synchronous (live) classes may be delivered in person, in a Flexible Learning space, or online through a Seneca web conferencing platform such as MS Teams or Zoom. Flexible Learning spaces are equipped with cameras, microphones, monitors and speakers that capture and stream instructor and student interactions, providing an in-person experience for students choosing to study online.

Students joining a live class online may be required to have a working camera in order to participate, or for certain activities (e.g. group work, assessments), and high-speed broadband access (e.g. Cable, DSL) is highly recommended. In the event students encounter circumstances that impact their ability to join the platform with their camera on, they should reach out to the professor to discuss. Live classes may be recorded and made available to students to support access to course content and promote student learning and success.
