Plan and list all the hand tools, personal safety equipment, and clothing required for a given welding task. Demonstrate you ability to select the correct electrode, current and polarity for welding with the SMAW process in a given welding position. Demonstrate you ability to strike a welding arc and produce acceptable stringer beads.

Introduction to Machining Technology

Discuss how modern machine technology affects the workforce. Give a brief explanation of the evolution of machine tools. Provide an overview of machining processes. Explain how CNC machining equipment operates and describe the role of the machinist.

Shop Safety

Explain why it is important to develop safe work habits. Dress in the proper safety equipment and clothing for a machine shop. Recognize and correct unsafe work practices. Apply safe work practices when employed in a machine shop. Select the appropriate fire extinguisher for a particular type of fire.

Introduction to CNC Machining

Describe the development of CNC technology. List advantages and disadvantages of using CNC technology. Describe the features of CNC milling machine. Compare the characteristics of various types of CNC turning machines. Identify safety guidelines for CNC machining processes. Summarize the use of the Cartesian and polar coordinate systems of CNC technology. Contrast the two types of motors that are commonly used to drive CNC machines.

 

 

 

 

 

 

ATTENDANCE POLICY

Regular and punctual attendance is required of all students classes for which they have registered. Students absent (excused or unexcused) for 15% of their classes or more may receive an “F” or be dropped from the course. Coming to class late or leaving early will count as ½ of an absence, coming in late or leaving early twice will count as one absence.  All absences are unauthorized unless the student is absent due to illness or emergencies as determined by the instructor.  It is the student responsibility to provide documentation as to the emergency for approval and judgement by the faculty member.  Approved sponsored activities are the only absences for which a student may not be held liable and only when providing notification prior to the absence.  Valid reasons for absence, however, do not relieve the student of the responsibility for making up required work.  Students are not allowed to make up an examination missed unless approved by the instructor. A student that is compelled to be absent when a test is given, will petition the instructor, in advance, for permission to take the exams given during the course at another time. Required work not completed by due dates will not be allowed to be turned in without instructor approval. Class participation in assignments and exams will be used to determine regular attendance for online students.

 

Last day to withdraw from a course with a “W” is 11/01/2019

 

 

Student Rights & Responsibilities

NCTC Board policy FLB (Local) Student Rights and Responsibilities states that each student shall be charged with notice and knowledge of the contents and provisions of the rules and regulations concerning student conduct.  These rules and regulations are published in the Student Handbook published in conjunction with the College Catalog.

STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES

 

 

 

 

DISABILITY SERVICES (Office for Students with Disabilities)

The Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) provides support services for students with disabilities, students enrolled in technical areas of study, and students who are classified as special populations (i.e. single parents).

Support services for students with disabilities might include appropriate and reasonable accommodations, or they may be in the form of personal counseling, academic counseling, career counseling, etc.  Furthermore, OSD Counselors work with students to encourage self-advocacy and promote empowerment. The Counselors also provides resource information, disability-related information, and adaptive technology for students who qualify.

If you feel you have needs for services that the institution provides, please reach out to either Wayne Smith (940) 498-6207 or Yvonne Sandman (940) 668-4321.  Alternative students may stop by Room 170 in Corinth or Room 110 in Gainesville.

Student Success Center

The Student Success Center is designed to help all students at NCTC develop tools to achieve their academic goals. The center links students to FREE tutoring, including a Writing Center, a Math Lab, and free online tutoring in the evening.  The program helps students acclimate to college by providing students free interactive workshops. For more information, please visit your nearest Student Success Center.
