EDMT 250 Fundamentals of CMM
(Contact Hours: 5) This course is an introduction to the fundamental concepts of Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM). General topics include how CMM measurements integrate into precision manufacturing environments. More specific topics of calibration, tolerancing, basic statistics, and sampling are covered. The course instructs the student in the utilization of basic CMM which includes best practices for probe calibration and part fixturing. The student is instructed in the operation of both vision and tactile type coordinate measurement machines. The student will also learn to use the associated computers and software that support the operation of these inspection machines. PREREQUISITE: Writing and Reading -- minimum benchmarks will be enforced; Math -- SAT: 23.5, ALEKS: 14, Accuplacer (Arithmetic): 80, NextGen Accuplacer (Arithmetic): 260, ACT: 18, or COMPASS (Pre-Algebra): 50, or successful completion of MATH 097 or MATH 106 is REQUIRED.
