(Prerequisites: LD 102 and LD 112)LD 125 Landscape Construction Details and Methods 3-0-3A survey of the materials used in landscape construction, the methodsused in assembling the materials into the landscape and the forces actingon the structures. Included are the characteristics and properties of eachof the landscape materials and the relative costs of the materials and theinstallation. Landscape materials and methods to be studied include sitework, various paving materials, various structural materials, and site drainagematerials. The student will learn how to read the plans and alsoprepare plans showing construction details including: walls, walkways,wooden structures and water features. (Prerequisite: LD 112)Learning SupportIndividualized learning support courses for students needing structuredguidance including tutoring, application of study skills, and instructionin time management strategies. Must be taken in conjunction with atleast one course. Students complete contracts addressing their individualneeds.Students who benefit include those with learning differences andother disabilities; students with attentional and organizational needs;students who are returning to school after a long absence; and studentswho are under prepared for the rigors of college work.May not be taken as electives to meet graduation requirements.Permission of the Disabilities Coordinator or LC Director is required.These courses are not eligible for financial aid.LC 111 Learning Skills Support 1-0-1Students complete individual contracts consisting of a total of 15 contacthours. Students must register for LC 111 by Week 7 of the semester.LC 112 Specialized Learning Support 2-0-2Designed for students who require additional academic guidance formallybuilt into their schedules. Students complete individual contracts consistingof a total of 30 contact hours. Students must register for LC 112 byWeek 4 of the semester.LC 113 Intensive Learning Support 3-0-3For those who need significantly more time than the typical one to twohours of independent work required for each hour of class time. Otherswho have not demonstrated successful progress in the past will focusupon determining the reasons for lack of success, such as poor fit withprogram, personal goals, need for additional structure, or formal support.Students complete individual contracts consisting of a total of 45 contacthours. Students must register for LC 113 by Week 3 of the semester.Manufacturing EngineeringTechnologyMF 111 Manufacturing and Materials Processing 3-2-4The course is designed to provide a basic understanding of traditionalmethods of materials processing used in product manufacturing. Throughlectures, demonstrations, and firsthand laboratory exposure, the studentis given the theory and applications of each process. The following arecovered: casting, extruding, forging, molding, forming, heat treating, joining,and an introduction to machining methods, both conventional and numericallycontrolled.MF 202 Measurement and Control 3-2-4The course begins with the study of basic electronics (analog and digital)and electronic components (transistors, op-amps, SCR’s). Electromechani-cal principles are introduced, leading to consideration of sensors andtransducers used in production processes. Paralleling this sequence is thedevelopment of programming in Visual Basic. These two paths join duringthe second half of the course where programming logic controllers(PLC’s) and relay ladder logic (RLL) are presented. In the laboratory,students gain hands-on experience with all hardware and software coveredin the course. (Prerequisites: IT 102, PH 135 (or basic AC/DCtheory))MF 220 Manufacturing Processes and Machine Tools 3-3-4A technical study of the theory, equipment and application of machinetool and metal removal processes. In addition to understanding machiningmethods, the economics and comparison between machining methodsare stressed. Processes covered are turning, milling, drilling, broaching,abrasive machining, finishing, numerical control as well as electrical andchemical machining. Theory is applied through actual machine operationin laboratory. (Prerequisites: EN 125, MF 111 and MC 102)MF 230 Production Systems 3-2-4A study of the organization of the production system as well as thetechniques used to control its operation. Topics covered include productionplanning, plant layout, inventory control, work measurement, jobsequencing, and operation scheduling. The laboratory sessions will applythe techniques studied through a series of integrated projects whichdevelop the use of traditional as well as computer-aided methods. (Prerequisites:MF 111 and IT 102)MF 241 Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) 3-3-4A study of flexible industrial automation as it applies to product-producingindustry. Particular emphasis is on robotics, numerical control andcomputer integrated manufacturing. The basic theory and application ofthese areas are studied. In the laboratory portion of the course, thestudent has the opportunity to set up, program, and operate all aspects ofa computer-controlled manufacturing system. Programmable logic controllers,vision systems, and a variety of robotic devices and CAM capabilitiesare included. (Prerequisites: MF 202, MF 220 and IT 102)MF 252 Quality Control 3-2-4A study of the techniques used to collect, organize and analyze informationwhich can be used in making decisions regarding quality. The coursewill begin with the basic principles of statistics and probability and willthen develop such topics as process capability, process control, acceptancesampling and reliability. The scope of quality will be expanded toinclude such topics as reliability, quality costs, product liability and qualitysystems. The laboratory sessions will provide the student with theopportunity to apply the principles developed in the classroom throughthe use of computer examples and “hands-on” exercises. (Prerequisites:MT 133 and IT 102)MathematicsMT 103 Algebra I - Part I 4-0-4The first in a sequence of preparatory courses for students planning tomajor in health sciences, business, or computer information systems. Topicswill include: fractions, decimals, percents, linear equations and inequalities,polynomials, exponents, graphing, applications of algebra. The fourinstitutional credits awarded for this course do not count toward graduation requirementsbut are calculated into GPA. Completion of this course with a gradeof "C" or higher and MT 104 with a grade of "C" or higher will satisfy themath prerequisite for MT 123.MT 104 Algebra I - Part II 4-0-4The second in a sequence of preparatory courses for students planning tomajor in: health sciences, business, or computer information systems.Topics will include: rational expressions, systems of linear equations,radical expressions, quadratic equations, applications of algebra.
