    College-Sponsored Experiential Learning (CSEL) is designed to integrate on-the-job learning experiences with classroom studies. These experiences are structured either to explore career options or to prepare for a specific occupation. Students participating in the Cooperative Education and Internship Program gain college credit and are graded for their learning/work experience by the appropriate faculty. Students participating in this 180 hour internship will earn 3 college credits for this experience. Upon successful completion of this hands-on work experience, the student should be able to satisfy instructionally selected competencies from those below according to the number of credits to be awarded. NOTE To be eligible for an internship, students must: Have completed a minimum of 18 or more credits within the last 5 years. Have begun course work in their major (at least 9 credits). Have an overall grade point average (GPA) of 2.5. Obtain a written recommendation by a DCCC faculty within the discipline of the internship. Submit a current resume to the Office of Student Employment Services. Prerequisite:    Internship Requirements: 18 Credits Completed within Last 5 Years; 9 Credits of Course Work in Major; Overall GPA of 2.5 or Higher; Recommendation by DCCC Faculty within Discipline; Resume Submitted to Office of Student Employment Services

    This course provides students with and introduction to off-line programming of Computerized Numerically Controlled (CNC) machine tools via the use of Computer Aided Machining (CAM) software. Emphasis is placed on becoming comfortable and productive with a CAM system operated as an automated process modeling tool. Fundamental concepts terminology and applications are stressed, as is the use of interactive software modules for modeling CNC operations. Topics include an introduction to the computer/plotter/printer as a work station, an overview of graphics modeling concepts, the application's Graphical User Interface (GUI) and a thorough familizarion of selected icons and definitions. Generalized and specific activities associated with introductory computer-aided drafting (CAD)/CAM operations, job planning, piece-part geometry/tool path definition and part modeling will be covered. An introduction to workplanes and MACROs, as well as CNC code generation and machine communications, will be addressed. Milling and turning (with a minor emphasis on fabrication) operations will be stressed. Process modeling software packages for production milling and turning will be used as vehicles of instruction for this course. Prerequisite:    TME 111

    This course provides introductory instruction on advanced piece-part modeling techniques of Computer-Aided Drafting/Design-Computer Aided Machining (CADD-CAM). A broad based instructional approach provides concepts necessary to applying process modeling techniques for both advanced milling and turning. Three-dimensional (combined surface types) geometry and associated tool path coding on multiple work and tool planes will be covered. Advanced solutions for completing four-axis simultaneous turning and integrated mill/turn (C-Axis) and 'live' tooling operations for modern lathes will be included also. Process modeling software packages for advanced three-dimensional machining and advanced turning will be used in instruction for this course. Prerequisite:    TME 212
