1.00 Credits
College: College of Technology Department: Plastics- Rubber Credit Hours: 1 This special studies course has been designed to allow students to work closely with a faculty member to pursue a topic of specialized interest. Topics for study and project requirements will be negotiated jointly between the faculty member and the student. Pre-Requisites: Departmental approval. Typically Offered On Demand
-
4.00 Credits
College: College of Technology Department: Plastics- Rubber Credit Hours: 4 This course has a lecture with 3 hours. This course has a lab with 2 hours. Provides the student with the current business related skills needed to accomplish the job duties typical to those in plastics engineering. It assumes the student has had little exposure to these skills on a direct, participatory level. It explores and enhances tools which assure success in a manufacturing environment. It provides the skills which make the implementation of the engineering technologist's knowledge of (and with) products, processes, tooling, and materials both evolve and continuously improve. It provides management tools which assist in completing programs and projects, helping to optimize processes, systems to assure customer satisfaction, and by which success can be measured. Pre-Requisites: Plastics or Rubber Engineering Technology students only. Typically Offered On Demand
-
2.00 Credits
College: College of Technology Department: Plastics- Rubber Credit Hours: 4 This course has a lecture with 3 hours. This course has a lab with 3 hours. The student will study the concepts of part design starting with defining the "Customer/End-Use Requirements", through the "Design Cycle" guideline and product application. Special emphasis will be given to understanding the role of these critical elements: Material selection, prototyping and modeling, product drawing, review of basic design rules, form, fit and function in product application, part quality, relationship of tool design to part design, advanced tooling concepts, process factors including use of CAD and flow software, part costing and design to cost, end-use factors, and mechanical design with plastic. Pre- Requisites: Plastics or Rubber Engineering Technology students only. Typically Offered Fall Only
-
3.00 Credits
College: College of Technology Department: Plastics- Rubber Credit Hours: 3 This course has a lecture with 3 hours. This survey course will review all the major polymeric materials currently commercially available. Major attributes, manufacturers and applications will be discussed. The student will learn correct materials handling methods, including safety with respect to drying, storage, regrinding (reuse), and compounding or blending and additives. Students will be shown the advantages and disadvantages of recycling. The learner will be presented with a historical perspective on each material and its chemical structure. Pre-Requisites: Plastics or Rubber Engineering Technology students only. Typically Offered Fall Only
