3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Senior standing A study of the design of a new manufacturing plant. General consideration is given to plant design and layout installation, plant service functions, and engineering economy related to plant engineering. New manufacturing methods and processes in industry are surveyed. Computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) concepts and practices are considered in developing layouts of theoretical process- and/or product oriented plants. Service facilities design is also considered.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Senior standing Understanding the impact of technology on manufacturing and society. The course analyzes the effects of technology on society and various business functions, such as product design, manufacturing processes, marketing strategies, and research and development. Topics include technical innovation, entrepreneurship, and patent protection. Ethical issues related to technology, including product liability, industrial espionage, and the environment, are discussed.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Upper- division standing Biomedical materials are synthetic materials working in a biological system. This requires an understanding of the similarities and differences between biological and synthetic materials and of the wide range of reactions between them.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Upper-division standing An introduction to conducting and semi-conducting properties of inorganic, organic and composite materials. Applications of the concepts to various electronic devices, including microelectronics, batteries, fuel cells, antennae, sensors and actuators, are also discussed.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Upper-division standing The principles of materials selection for engineering design. Topics include selection based on strength, stiffness, thermal behavior, durability, manufacturability, recyclability, etc. The use of engineering analysis relating material properties to design performance is covered. The course serves as a capstone to the materials program by examining how properties, cost,& ethics, sustainability, and other factors combine in determining goodness of design.
-
3.00 Credits
Various microscopic techniques in fiber identification and structure, composition of blends, physical, chemical, and biological conditions of fibers and yarns. Students are taught the principles of various microscopic and photomicroscopic techniques¿scanning electron, optical, polarized light, atomic force, and so on¿as well as introduced to the principles of image analysis.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Upper division standing Exposure to and experience in timely research and development projects either in the laboratory or a real world setting—at companies in the area. Most but not all topics will be in the area of textile sciences: (a) Product Design and Analysis or Reverse Engineering; (b) Plant Design, Marketing, Business Strategy Research based on library work; (c) supervised lab intensive project; (d) Directed/Independent Study with Industrial Internship.
-
3.00 Credits
Principles and problems basic to textile costing; basic cost concepts, cost problems; materials, labor and manufacturing costs; textile fiber and supplier purchasing; spinning, weaving and finishing mill costs; textile marketing costs and financial statements.
-
3.00 Credits
A case study in the development of soft materials that have engineering designs to provide specific properties. Examples include dome structures, geotextiles, bullet-proof vest, artificial turf, and medical fabrics. The courses correlates properties of materials, engineering principles in processing, and the design of structures with the desired properties for a particular functional use.
-
0.00 - 9.00 Credits
Conditions and hours to be arranged. Prerequisites: Upper-division standing; permission of instructor, department chairperson, and college dean Study under the supervision of a faculty member in an area not otherwise part of the discipline’s course offerings.
