Course Length: 180 hrs.

Course Description: This competency based course is the first in a sequence of two designed for the machine and forming pathways. It provides students with project based experiences in basic machining. Instruction includes an orientation, workplace safety, trade mathematics, employability skills and real projects that lead them from handling sharp metal to finish product.

The projects are giving to the student in this order Drill Gauge, Random Number Generators, Name Plates on the knee mill using Cartesian coordinates, vise and part indicating, and use of edge finder to control zero. Students also gain access to CNC (Computer Numerical Control) equipment to help them complete their projects. Lathe operations are introduced, facing and turning using dimensional control.

Course Teaching Structure:

This class will be taught using large and small groups during lectures anddemonstrations. Groups are alsoformed to complete class assignments and projects, peer to peer and individual instruction given to all who are willing to put the work in.

Time line for course is as follows:

First 2 weeks are used to complete orientation and go over safety and complete the safety test
Next 4 weeks will be used to learn how to handle raw material and use of the drill press, hand files and part layout to create a peace sign medallion project
Next 6 weeks will be used to cut a piece of raw material and a complete Drill Gauge project. This project brings a culmination of all the basic skills learned to date like part handling, filing, part layout, using the drill press, band saw, knee mill. The CNC machine is used as well.
5 weeks to complete knee mill orientation and complete the RNG project

New semester

8 weeks to complete Name Plate 1 project completed on the knee mill using the Cartesian Coordinates to control movement in the X and Y axis manually. Work sheets are used here to help understand the Cartesian Coordinate system. Time is spent designing the name to be cut. ( straight and angled lines only )
10 weeks giving to complete Name Plate 2 project, using the HAAS CNC Mill to program a path that creates their name. Work sheets on The basic understanding of how to write G-code. This section is very math intensive as it will be relying on heavy use of decimals as this is the language of the numerical control machine.
Last 2 or 3 weeks of school are giving to learn the lathe and welding operations for those wanting to experience these machines. ( No Points are given here and students must be in good standing grade wise.

Text book and handouts:

Modern Metal Working

John Walker author

2009 publishing date

Handouts are also given to students for completion

Grading Breakdown:

Handouts, Article reading and shop lab training are20 percent of a students grade

Projects are 70 percent of a students grade

Test are 10 percent of a students grade ( Tests will be online and performance/based )

A = 88- 100 % of pts

B = 75-87 % of pts

C = 62-74 % of pts

D = 49 - 61 % of pts

Fail below 48 %

Work Habits Grade:

This grade is a reflection of a students attendance in this class

0 to 3.9 % missed days = E

4.0 to 9.2 % missed days= S

Above 9.3 % days missed= U

( LAUSD mandates a Maximum of 7 missed days by any one student per school year. 3.9 % )

Cooperation Grade:

E is given to any student who consistently works well with others and even helps teach his or her peers and also cleans up and an all around great student performing beyond the assignment.

S is usually given to a student who just completes his or her assignments and does not get too involved with other students in peer to peer activities.

U is given when a student reaches a grade of “D” or “Fail” a student may earn this mark by being involved in inappropriate class activities like being told not to horseplay too many times.

Classroom Policies:

Students are held accountable for all their action please understand the following:

Students have been ejected from this class for a variety of reasons. Don’t be one ofthem by either fighting in the class, being intoxicated, making illegal items, not taking care of the equipment or stealing from this class or another student. Students must keep their social media habits in check and adhere to school policy as well respecting others. Classroom respect will be demanded by all who enter.

Above all I ask my students to make sure they have fun in this class and promote self vigilance towards classroom policies.
