CIMN 1050 — Blueprint Reading and Shop Math 3 Credits
This course introduces students to skills that will help them communicate and succeed in manufacturing environments. The main communication concepts that are addressed are shop mathematics, blueprint reading, welding symbols and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T). It covers mathematical concepts such as fractions, decimals, the metric system, oblique triangles and right-triangle trigonometry, solving multiple input machining formulas, reading and applying cutting data charts, and interpreting cutting tool diagrams. Blueprint reading incorporates American Society of Mechanical Engineering (ASME) standards to examine basic concepts of mechanical drawings including line types and uses, orthographic and auxiliary views, title blocks, notes, section views, dimensions, tolerances, and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) fundamentals.
