-
3.00 Credits
A continuation of Machine Design I, with emphasis on topics related to the design of machine elements for structural integrity, reliability, and economy. Application of advanced topics in strength of materials to machine design. The course includes a major design project.
-
3.00 Credits
The technology of integrating automation equipment for use in engineering systems is covered. Students design simulations and complete fully-automated projects involving the human-machine interfacing of analog and digital sensors, actuators, motors, machines, flexible automation devices, and other material handling systems. Advanced process control software is used for programing and sensory techniques, as well as automatic open and closed-loop systems, and PID feedback control.
-
3.00 Credits
A course in tooling and programming for Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines. The course includes G-Code, conversational, and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) programming languages and systems. Considerable emphasis on the integration of NC planning and programming into automated manufacturing systems. Topics in communications and computer networking for Direct Numerical Control (DNC) are discussed.
-
3.00 Credits
The Manufacturing Design Project is the capstone course for the Manufacturing Concentration in MET. Projects are assigned based on interest, equipment and software availability, and the specific background of the student. Projects require planning, proposal presentation, scheduling, engineering, implementation, and written and oral presentations of project results. Students are encouraged to "design and build" and utilize concepts learned from the courses completed in the MET Manufacturing Concentration. Presentation and report writing skills are practiced.
-
3.00 Credits
The theory and applications of commercial refrigeration systems are studied. The thermodynamic analysis of the refrigeration cycle, load calculations and selection of components for refrigeration systems are covered.
-
3.00 Credits
The basic principles of residential and commercial air conditioning systems are introduced including the calculation of cooling and heating loads, and psychrometric processes. The student is exposed to relevant topics in heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) such as equipment selection, duct design, piping design, indoor air quality, energy code, HVAC systems, energy conservation options, automatic controls, and testing, adjusting and balancing (TAB) of air conditioning systems.
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers the principles of engineering experimentation and process control. Students are instructed in current methods of data gathering, data regression, graphical analysis, result compilation, and report writing. Data gathering will include both manual techniques and computer data acquisition systems. An understanding of sensor selection, interfacing, and implementation is provided through lecture and laboratory assignments. The fundamentals of uncertainty analysis along with the application of dimensional analysis and similitude are covered. Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC's) are used to introduce students to process control. Laboratory exercises illustrating the use of instrumentation for performance evaluation and control of mechanical systems are conducted.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the applications of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and heat transfer to industrial process plants. Fundamentals of piping design, selection of fans, heat exchangers and other components commonly used in industrial processes are covered.
-
1.00 - 5.00 Credits
Independent study on topics of mutual interest to faculty and students. Assignments depend upon the specific background of the student, equipment availability, software availability, etc. Projects require a proposal presentation, scheduling, implementation and both written and oral presentations of study results.
-
1.00 - 5.00 Credits
Special topics selected by the program. Offered on a demand basis.
