Principles of Manufacturing & Machining/Machining Technology

Hatchell – METALS

Purpose: Principles of Manufacturing is designed to provide students with exposure to various occupations and pathways in the Advanced Manufacturing career cluster, such as Machining Technology, Industrial Maintenance Technology, Mechatronics, and Welding. In order to gain a holistic view of the advanced manufacturing industry, students will complete all core standards, as well as standards in two focus areas. Throughout the course, they will develop an understanding of the general steps involved in the manufacturing process and master the essential skills to be an effective team member in a manufacturing production setting. Course content covers basic quality principles and processes, blueprints and schematics, and systems. Upon completion of this course, proficient students will advance from this course with a nuanced understanding of how manufacturing combines design and engineering, materials science, process technology, and quality. Upon completion of the Principles of Manufacturing course, students will be prepared to make an informed decision regarding which Advanced Manufacturing program of study to pursue.

•   NO food or drink in the shop area– Use designated places ONLY for food/drink.
•   Stay focused on projects, avoid distractions, BE SAFE, help others when you are able.
•   Cell phones and other electronic devices are required to be kept in a classroom/backpack (NOT ON THE SHOP FLOOR AS THEY ARE A DISTRACTION)

 Consequences:

According to the nature of the offense, steps may be skipped.  THIS IS HATCHELL'S CLASSROOM, NOT YOURS.  FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS ALLOWS THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURY TO PERSONS.  IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS YOU WILL BE DISMISSED FROM THE CLASS AND FAILED.

Attendance Policy – Be here.  Being present and participating in class improves your grade.

WELDERS/TOOLS – In this class, students are given the opportunity to work with GREAT TOOLS!  It is extremely important that we take care of them.  Any abuse of the tools (use outside of proper operation) will be handled with disciplinary action, which means students will be written up, given a zero, and sent to the office, or removed from the class (NO WARNING).
