Process Control Course

Course Description:This course, developed by Utah College of Applied Technology, teaches students to apply practical theory using common and advanced measuring tools, such as a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) and a romer arm. The course requires that students have access to various tools commonly found in inspection rooms to complete the hands-on assignments. Upon completing the course, students should be able to:Analyze title blocks and apply the data found there to the inspection process,Describe the basic Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerance (GD&T) Symbols,Perform calculations needed in regards to process control,Demonstrate the proper use of micrometers, calipers, and other gaging tools required for part inspection.Course Contents:Course materials include a Canvas .imscc file. The .imscc file includes numerous folders and files from the Canvas course, including a syllabus. The syllabus includes a course description, course objectives, employable (soft) skills gained, and grading information.This course includes eight modules. Most modules include short lessons along with hands-on assignments and projects, many of which have rubrics. There are 14 projects and assignments in total, each designed to provide students with experience with measuring tools. The assignments require students to submit a picture, machine part, or a brief worksheet, while the projects generally require to students to write a report accompanying the completion of the activity.For orientation purposes syllabus.pdf is included as a separate attachment and offers a sample of the type of material included in this course.Below is a sample of modules, labs, and lessons included in this course:Start HereNSF AttributionSyllabusCanvas OrientationCanvas Submission HelpTroubleshootingThe Troubleshooting ProcessBlueprint ReadingADD BLUEPRINT CONTENT HEREGD&TADD GD&T CONTENT HEREGD&T Lab #1GD&T Lab #2GD&T Lab #3CMM SetupCoordinate Measuring Machine OverviewThe Coordinate Measuring SystemMachine SpecificsStartup and Basic OperationJog Box OperationIntroduction ProbingProject 1 - Probe CalibrationBasic PC-DMISAlignment OverviewAlignment TheoryAlignment ExerciseBasic AlignmentCMM MeasuringIntroduction to Manual programsManual Programs - AlignmentsManual Programs - FeaturesManual Programs - DimensionsManual Programs - Reports and CommentsManual Measurement ReportingIntroduction to Direct Computer ControlDCC - PC -DMISPart FeaturesDCC MeasuringCMM InspectionIntermediate DCCBrown & Sharpe WidgetAdvanced DCCSpline Practice WidgetMill Project Practice Widget5-Axis Part Stop Practice Widget6-in Bubble Level Practice WidgetRomer ArmIntroduction to the Romer ArmIntroduction to the PolyWorks SoftwareRomer Arm Inspectio
