COURSE PHILOSOPHY

The Machine Technology Department’s philosophy at McCann Technical School is to

provide and educate students in as many aspects of the machine trade as possible and to provide

them the opportunities to become skilled, successful citizens of the global community. The

instructors are committed in providing a safe, industry-standard learning environment that

promotes commitment, teamwork, communication skills, strong work ethic and responsibility.

Students are encouraged to pursue work in a related field, continuous education and industry

related training upon successful graduation from the department. During the junior year

SkillsUSA competitions and championships reward students for excellence and keep training

relevant to employers' needs. The goal of the program is not only to produce skilled CNC

operators and programmers, but to give students the ability to adapt their talents to the ever-

changing technologies in the manufacturing world.


Grade 11 Course Syllabus

COURSE DESCIPTION:

Introduces two and three axis CNC mill machining and the CNC lathe. Develops the theory of programming with application of the program accomplished on industry-type machines. Studies terminology of coordinates, cutter paths, angle cutting, and linear and circular interpolation. Introduces CAD/CAM and Automated Manufacturing with the use of MasterCAM software.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

At the completion of this course the student will be able to:

Manually write out basic CNC programs using G and M codes

Manually enter data into a CNC machine (MDI)

Perform CNC machine startup operations

Perform control panel operations

Set datum or part zero points

Set tool and part offsets

Use cutter compensation

Dry run, edit and run a program

Inspect parts to prints and tolerances

Design parts using MasterCAM Design software

Use MasterCAM to create toolpaths from designs

Post and transfer files to CNC equipment

Send and Receive transferred files on CNC equipment

Manufacture and inspect parts

Using state and national standards, project-based learning experiences were developed that:

• Use a method of instruction that actively engages students in solving work-based, real-life problems where knowledge application promotes knowledge acquisition.

• Provide opportunities to work in teams where communication, both verbal and written, is an intrinsic part of the learning process.

• Improves the level of technical engagement and expectation for all students, and allows students to individualize the learning experience to meet their needs.


The main projects developed include Cavity and Core design and production for plastic injection molding, MasterCAM Innovator of the Future project design and production, and Mini Baja Vehicle design and production.

COURSE ASSESSMENT PLANStudents are assessed in a variety of ways. Each student is assessed on attendance and participation on a daily basis. There is also a weekly assessment based on quantity of work, quality of work, effort and problem solving ability. (Please see grading criteria). Tooling University class assessments are counted as quiz grades. Performance assessments based on MasterCAM and NIMS standards when students have successfully completed the required tasks and projects. Final exams are given to grade 11 students in June of each year. All assessments are based on the grading system guidelines as published in the student/parent handbook.

Report cards are issued quarterly and serve as a guideline for students and parents to measure achievement. Parents are encouraged to contact instructors to ensure a continuing participation in student progress. Progress reports are issued four times a year in the middle of each quarter to provide students and parents a timely update on progress and achievement.

For the Machine Technology students at Charles H. McCann Technical School the following assessment plan will be followed:

GRADING SYSTEM:“Student assessment and grade reporting is considered a positive tool to measure growth, progress, and the development of the student. Report cards are issued four times each year. In addition, progress reports are issued at the mid-point of each quarter.” (2010-2011 McCann Student Handbook)

Excused” X may be used to denote medical reasons for a student's inability to participate in physical education or complete the recommended curriculum or any portion of the curriculum. In cases where there are long-term illnesses or accidents and students cannot complete the course requirements, an alternative means of grading may be necessary.

Instructional Activities

The grade 11 CNC Cad/Cam and programming course was designed to provide students with project-based learning opportunities and laboratory-based experiences in the development of content knowledge. Three projects were developed that utilize Mastercam software and CNC machining competencies: Cavity and Core design and manufacture, MasterCAM IOF design and manufacture, SAE Mini Baja vehicle design and manufacture.

Students may also earn certification in MasterCAM and CNC Programming through NIMS standards and testing.

Cavity and Core design and manufacture projectAfter completing the beginner tutorials of Mastercam, students work individually or in teams to design and manufacture a cavity and core that will produce a plastic part. These cavities and cores are produced on manual and CNC equipment. The students will learn basic injection mold machine setup and operation. A finished plastic part will be produced from the design.

MasterCAM IOF design and manufacture project

After completing MasterCAM training students may enter the MasterCAM Innovator of the Future contest. The MasterCAM Innovator of the Future contest entices students with a real-world manufacturing challenge, celebrity judge, and a chance to win a scholarship. This competition provides the instructor with a powerful motivational tool to get students excited about learning CAD/CAM and the manufacturing process. The 2011 Mastercam Innovator of the Future competition challenges students to design and machine a working capo (a clamp-like device used on the neck of a stringed instrument to shorten the strings, hence raising the pitch) to be judged by the co-founder and current president of CNC Software, Inc., Mark Summers. With his combined interests in machining and guitars he is a great judge of both functionality and manufacturing skills.

SAE Mini Baja design and manufacture project

Students from Machine Tech, CAD and Metal Fabrication collaborate and design three dimensional models of a mini baja vehicle from two dimensional design sketches using Solidworks and Mastercam design. The vehicle is then manufactured and assembled according to those drawings. SAE mini baja collegiate competition technical standards are followed to insure Machine Technology Page 15 5/9/2023

all safety and technical guidelines are followed. Students who participate in this program may be rewarded with 16 course credits to Berkshire Community College.

NIMS CNC Programming CertificationStudents who pass the timed NIMS performance exam may take the online theory assessment. Successful students will earn NIMS Level Two National CNC Programming certification. This assessment may be taken at any time.

SkillsUSA CompetitionStudents may compete in two occupational related competitions during term two.

CNC Milling and Programming is an individual contest which involves manual programming and CNC mill setup and operation. The problem is based on National SkillsUSA standards.

CNC Turning and Programming is an individual contest which involves manual programming and CNC mill setup and operation. The problem is based on National SkillsUSA standards.

Automated Manufacturing Technology is a team competition. Teams are comprised of one CAD student and two Machine Technology students. The competition is based on National SkillsUSA and NIMS standards. Teams produce a prototype part design, solid part model, CNC toolpath and actual part creation with the use of computer software and bench top CNC machines. A design change is given to the teams once the initial prototype has been completed to test their problem solving skills.
