COURSE TITLE : Machine Shop Theory and Practice
CREDIT UNIT : 2
PRE-REQUISITE : ME 403
ACADEMIC YEAR : 2019 – 2020
REFERENCE CMO : Based on PACUIT proposal (New CMO is still being
reviewed by CHED)

PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

The alumni of Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering three to five years after graduation shall:
1. Successfully practice as engineering technologists for the welfare of the society.
2. Demonstrate a high degree of professionalism at all times.

PHILOSOPHY
The parts of the machine and all the driving mechanisms are basically manufactured
through machining operations. Whereby conventional lathe, milling machine and shaper machines
are the most common and practical machines in the production line.
Lathes have allowed man to reshape, machine and manufacture many precision cylindrical
components made of various types of metal, wood, plastics, and other materials. Without the lathe,
man would still be trying to produce cylindrical components in some crude fashion or another.
However, because of advanced technology, the lathe has allowed man to become an important
asset in developing and machining many precision components needed to operate and function in
many areas of our industrial complex.
This subject will provide the student with basic knowledge and manipulative skills for their
future employment. It also includes precautionary measures. The skills gained from this subject
will be of great help for the students to cope with the fast growing technology in mechanical
industry.

AUDIENCE
This course is intended for second year students of Bachelor of Science in Mechanical
Engineering.

TEACHING, LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES

Teaching and Learning Strategies
This course will be taught through formal lectures, exercises and demonstration using
available resources, informal activities and various reference books.
Assessment Strategies
Assessment like end-of topic exercises, preliminary exam, midterm exam, semi-final and
final examination will be conducted throughout the course. Generally, class test and return
demonstration method are after the discussion of the major topics while the other works are
distributed throughout the duration of the course.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS
Major Exams
There will be two periodic examinations (Midterm and Final). The periodic examinations
will cover the topics discussed for the given period.
Projects/ Activities
For comprehensive understanding and in preparation for the student in their profession,
there will be project making and laboratory activities to be conducted in relation to the topics to
be discussed in the subject. Every activity should have an output. Project making and laboratory
activities shall be scheduled accordingly based on the availability of the mechanical shop.
Class Participation
Students are encouraged to participate actively during class discussions and they are
required to work independently in the work place as per working plan.
Consultation
Consultation is allowed during vacant time or while the work shop activities is on-going
but it must related to the projects they are performing.

COURSE POLICIES
The following items are given as a guide in the conduct of the course:
Grading
Course grade will be based on the following weights:
Projects/ Activities 40%
Major Exam 60%
TOTAL 100%
Passing final grade is 75%. The numerical equivalent of the final grade will be determined from
the following scale.
Numerical Grade Equivalent Description
1.00 98 – 100 Excellent
1.25 94 – 97 Superior
1.50 90 – 93 Very Good
1.75 88 – 89 Good
 2.00 85 – 87 Meritorious
2.25 83 – 84 Very Satisfactory
2.50 80 – 82 Satisfactory
2.75 78 – 79 Fairly Satisfactory
3.00 75 – 77 Passing
5.00 Below 75 Failure
Inc. *Incomplete
DRP Dropped
Students who will get a grade of 70-74 must be given a removal examination. A grade of
“3.0” will be given to those who will pass the removal examination and those who will fail will be
given a grade of “5.0”.
A grade of “Incomplete” must be complied by the student within one (1) semester or one
hundred fifty (150) days. A student who fails to complete the deficiency/deficiencies at the end of
the succeeding semester shall automatically obtain a grade of 5.0 in the course.
Attendance Policy
Prompt and regular attendance of students is required. Total unexcused absences shall not
exceed ten (10) percent of the maximum number of hours required per course per semester (or per
summer term). A semester has 18 weeks. For example, a semestral subject with:
✔ 3 units (3 hrs lec), 10% x 3 x 18 = 5.4 hrs. or 6 hrs.
✔ 3 units (2 hrs lec, 3 hrs lab), 10% x 5 x 18 = 9 hrs.
✔ 5 units (3 hrs lec, 6 hrs lab), 10% x 9 x 18 = 16.2 hrs. or 16 hrs.
Please refer to the provisions in the Norms of Conduct for the full text of guidelines for the
attendance.
Missed Exam
Missed examinations will only be given if the student can present valid excused letter
signed by his/her parent. If got sick a medical certificate is required.
Academic Dishonesty
Academic dishonesty includes acts such as cheating during examinations or plagiarism in
connection with the academic work. Such acts are considered major offenses and will be dealt with
according to the University’s Student Norms of Conduct
Dropping
Dropping must be made official by accomplishing a dropping form and submitting it at the
Registrar’s Office before the midterm examination. Students who officially drop out of class shall
be marked “Dropped” whether he took the preliminary examination or not and irrespective of their
preliminary grades.
A student who unofficially drops out of class shall be given a mark of “5.0” by the
instructor.
