Students completing MET1321 will have the ability to:

1. Perform engineering measurement with instruments commensurate with
industry practice.
2. Be proficient in the setup and use of various machining tools and practices to
manufacture parts.
3. Apply industrial safety standards in a laboratory setting while observing and
using machining tools and equipment.
4. Demonstrate an understanding of tolerances with the completion of
machining and welding projects.

5. Communicate process engineering information in a standard industrial

format.
6. Reading W.P.S and P.Q.R and using AWS D.1.1 standard.

Labs:

Labs are assigned daily and/or weekly. All laboratory projects are completed in
the SPSU laboratories.

Project:

Successive labs culminate in the final machining project. Each lab will build skills
that are represented in the project.

Tests:

Two tests on welding and two tests on machining will be given. Test questions
will cover material from assignments, lecture, labs, and projects.

Late Work:

Late labs and projects will not be accepted. Makeup tests are not given.
However, if prior arrangements have been made or due to extenuating
circumstances exceptions may be granted.

Welding:

Your first project is to lay a single pass weld (flat weld), preferably 2 inches
long.
Your second project is a butt joint by stick welding.

Your third project is a T-joint (a fillet weld on one side and some tags on the
other side).
