  • 4.00 Credits

    (formerly MATH-H207) 4 cr. Prerequisite: Grade of "C" or better in MAT*H256 (Calculus II). A course in multivariable calculus for mathematics or science majors. Topics include conic sections, plane curves, parametric equations and polar coordinates, vectors and solid analytic geometry, vector-valued functions, functions of several variables, partial differentiation, and multiple integration.
  • 5.00 Credits

    5 cr. (formerly MEC-H1108) Prerequisites: TCN*H101, MAT*H172, PHY*H121. Corequisite: MAT*H185. Analysis of the forces which act upon rigid bodies at rest is the subject of this course. Balances of forces and moments on an object provide the basis for equilibrium calculations involving points, rigid bodies, frames and machines with a variety of supports (including frictional). The use of free-body diagrams and neat, professional level presentation of work is stressed. Five class hours weekly.
  • 4.00 Credits

    4 cr. (formerly MEC-H2168) Prerequisites: MEC*H108, MAT*H232. This course covers the fundamental techniques used for analyzing the motion of particles and rigid bodies and the forces which cause that motion. Translation and rotation as fundamental components of rectilinear, curvilinear and constrained plane motion are explained. Relative and absolute velocities and accelerations are treated with both graphical and computational techniques. Laboratory practice is used to verify and reinforce the theoretical concepts. Three class and two laboratory hours weekly.
  • 4.00 Credits

    4 cr. (formerly MEC-H2128) Prerequisite: CHE*H111. This course covers the fundamental concepts of heat transfer. Major topics included are conduction, convection and radiation. The emphasis is on the practical applications of each type of heat transfer through example problems. The design and analysis of different types of heat exchangers are also explained in detail. Laboratory experiments involve heat transfer apparatus which supplement the theoretical class work. Three class and two laboratory hours weekly.
  • 4.00 Credits

    4 cr. (formerly MEC-H2120) Prerequisite: MEC*H108. Corequisite: MAT*H185. Covers the principles involved in the analysis of stresses which occur within machine and structural elements subjected to various types of loads. Analysis of these stresses are made as applied to thin-walled cylinders and spheres, riveted and welded joints, beams, columns, couplings and shafts. Mechanical properties of common materials are determined using equipment such as the Universal Testing Machine, Torsion Testing Machine, and Impact Testing Machine. Experiments involving stress and strain analysis are included. Microcomputers are used in the analysis of experimental data and preparation of laboratory reports. Three class and two laboratory hours weekly.
  • 4.00 Credits

    4 cr. (formerly MEC-H2124) Prerequisite: MEC*H108, Corequisite: MAT*H185. An introductory survey of the principles and methods involved in the analysis of fluid systems. Included are common fluid properties, hydrostatics, the kinematics of fluid flow and energy relationships. The use of standard empirical information to reflect the departure of actual hardware performance from the theoretical is reflected in many of the applications considered. This course also provides laboratory experience with the common instruments used in experiments involving properties of fluids. To verify the general analytical methods studied in class, wind tunnel testing, hydraulics, pneumatics and pressure loss measurements may be included. Three class and two laboratory hours weekly.
  • 5.00 Credits

    5 cr. (formerly MEC-H2130) Prerequisites: CAD*H150, MEC*H251, MFG*H210. Deals with the concept of mechanical design from concept to specifications. Covers the procedures, data, and techniques necessary to design/select mechanical components such as gears, springs, bearings, belt and chain drives, clutches, brakes, fasteners, shafts and screws. The use of microcomputers in the design process is emphasized. A design project is also included. Three class and four laboratory hours weekly.
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 cr. An introductory course on weather and climate. Through lecture, Internet access and other media,this course will cover atmospheric motion, severe weather, global and local climate, and forecasting.
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 cr. Prerequisites: MFG*H201, 210. A project-based introduction to manufacturing systems, part families, computers in manufacturing, manufacturing information management, interfacing various machine tools with material handling equipment and vision systems. Two class and two laboratory hours weekly.
  • 4.00 Credits

    4 cr. (formerly MFG-H1100) Corequisite: MAT*H137. Students study the theoretical concepts involved in the process of manufacturing parts as well as the development of the knowledge and skills required in the manufacturing process. Laboratory study emphasizes metal cutting, joining, molding and casting utilizing ferrous, nonferrous and non-metallic materials. Laboratories will involve setup and procedures for various manufacturing processes. Three class and two laboratory hours weekly.
