NUMERICAL CONTROL PROGRAMMING

In document PIERCE COLLEGE General Catalog (Page 121-123)

Associate of Science Degree

Faculty Advisor: R. Smetzer

PROGRAM INFORMATION

Numerical Control is a system (sometimes referred to as CAM - Computer-Aided Manufacturing) using specially prepared instruc- tions, developed by the N/C Programmer, to control the operation of various manufacturing equipment such as machine tools, inspection machines, woodworking machines, laser machines, and robots. The following associate degree is offered at the suggestion of the Industry Advisory Committee for Numerical Control.

Courses may be taken in any sequence, but recommended preparation should be met. Students majoring in this area must meet each semester with Numerical Control Faculty Advisor R. D. Smetzer.

Completion of the following three courses, IND TEK 105, 130 and 140, may provide entry level employment opportunities.

TRANSFER STUDENTS

Completing the Associate Degree does not necessarily meet the university-admission requirements for transfer. An Associate Degree is not a requirement for transfer to either the CSU or UC campuses. Private and out-of-state colleges and universities have unique transfer requirements. However, if you would like to transfer to a university and earn an associate degree, early educational planning can make this goal achievable. You should meet with a counselor early in your studies to develop an Educational Plan that fulfills both transfer requirements and associate degree requirements.

PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES

Upon completion of this program, students will:

Knowledge to prepare NC programs that control the operation of various manufacturing equipment.

Safely and effectively use a variety of machine tools. Work with inspection machines, woodworking machines, laser machines and robots.

Ability to work independently or as a team member. MAJOR - REQUIRED COURSES

NUMERICAL CONTROL PROGRAMMING

Certificate of Achievement

Faculty Advisor: R. Smetzer

PROGRAM INFORMATION

The Certificate Program is designed for students wishing to complete only the technical requirements of the Numerical Control Program- ming Associate Degree program, secure employment and possibly complete the Numerical Control Programming Associate Degree while employed and attending Pierce College part time. It is also designed to enable mechanical drafting, tool design, machine shop, and other majors to secure certification in Numerical Programming as a second area of expertise. The notes applying to the Associate Degree apply also to the certificate program. Courses may be taken in any sequence as long as the prerequisites and recommended preparation coursework are met. However, the first five courses listed provide a possible entry-level employment package. Students working on this certificate program must meet each semester with R. D. Smetzer, NC.

Italian

Associate of Arts Degree

PROGRAM INFORMATION

The main objective of the Italian program is to enable the students to acquire competence in understanding, speaking, reading and writing the Italian language. The objective of the program is also to develop an under- standing and appreciation of the culture, history and literature of Italy. Students are placed in Italian courses according to their previous study. In general one year of high-school Italian is equivalent to one semester at Pierce. Native speakers are encouraged to enroll in Italian 4, 5, or 6. All Italian courses are taught primarily in the language. However, the instructor may choose to clarify certain concepts in English when necessary. By the end of the first year, students are able to use the basic structure of the language and the practical vocabulary learned to converse on everyday topics, as well as to read and write at an elementary level.

Italian 3 combines with Italian 8 (conversational Italian) to increase oral proficiency and also continues to raise the students ability to read and write.

In Italian 4, 5, 6, students gradually acquire more ease in expressing themselves orally and in writing. Combining a review of grammar with discussion and analysis of literary texts of increasing difficulty, these courses give students a broad overview of Italy and the Italian people and prepare students to live abroad.

INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION

Students are encouraged to participate in the International Edu- cation summer program of study in Florence whenever offered by Pierce College.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

Italian will enhance careers in international business or trade, fashion, medical research, the gourmet food industry. Italian is especially desir- able for students of classic or opera music, art and humanities.

PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES

Upon completion of this program, students will:

Demonstrate oral proficiency in the Italian language (at appropri- ate level as measured by the ACTFL rubric).

Demonstrate proficiency in the grammar (structure, tense, mood and syntax) of the Italian language.

Demonstrate Intermediate High to Advanced Low proficiency in writing and reading comprehension in the Italian language.

Exhibit basic knowledge of the social, political, cultural and eco-

nomic conditions in the countries in which the Italian language is spoken.
