Course Description:

This course provides a fundamental overview and awareness of the concepts, theory, and practice of quality as it relates to today’s machining environment.

Aims and Objectives:

Upon successful completion of the course, participants will be able to:

  - define quality and discuss its role in the manufacturing business today, including its impact on cost and the customer
  - show an understanding of basic quality philosophies, concepts, terms and their definitions
  - interpret technical drawings and apply inspection tools and techniques to verify the acceptability of machined parts
  - measure using surface plate layouts and the coordinate measuring machine (CMM)
  - show familiarity with flight-safety and other standards applicable to machined parts, including the concept of traceability as it applies to materials, calibration, and finished products
  - show familiarity with the use of computer software used in quality management
  - identify non-conforming material and initiate resolution
  - demonstrate an understanding of the importance of attention to detail, personal integrity, interpersonal skills, and effective communication in quality assurance

Methods of Evaluation:

  - Attendance and Participation – Attendance and participation make up 40% of the total grade. Students are expected to attend all scheduled hours; therefore, each class will count as 10% of your participation grade, with up to half credit taken off for late arrival or early departure.  Points are earned through active participation in the classroom and the lab … it is not enough to just be present.  It is the student’s responsibility to notify the instructor (in advance, if possible) in writing (email is preferred) of any absence.  Students must participate in lab activity when not attending lecture. The instructor may deduct points for lack of participation.
  - Lab Activities and Assignments – 40% of your grade is determined by laboratory activities and on-line assignments. Structured hands-on exercises, combined with lecture time, will be critical for developing skills and increasing expertise.  Lab work will be evaluated by the instructor throughout the course.  In addition to lab activities and attending lectures, students will read textbooks and journal articles, and review information found in other resources. Reading assignments should be completed before class.  Evaluations, such as quizzes and practical exercises, will be given throughout the quarter.  Assignments submitted more than one week late may have up to half credit taken off.
  - Final examinations - At the end of the quarter students will be given final examinations covering the aims and objectives of the course. Students must score at least 70% on final examinations in order to pass the course.
