4.00 Credits
Finishes not only protect wood from stains, water damage, and other mishaps, they also make wood look richer and deeper and add dimension and luster. This course introduces the common tools and methods used in the application of finishes. Students will apply finishes from oils or shellac on a variety of materials to achieve a variety of results, and will complete learning exercises that incorporate applying traditional finishes to fine furniture. Although it is not a prerequisite for this course, students will benefit from having taken CHEM 1100 Elementary Chemistry prior to taking this course. The cost of materials for this course consists of lab fees for basic project and consumable material plus additional expenses for student projects and tools. Students should contact the Engineering Technologies office for a list of student supplied tools. (6 contact hours: 2 lecture, 4 lab)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: WOOD 1100 Attaching different components of a cabinet or furniture requires the correct application of glue or adhesive. Surface preparation, either by sanding, scraping, and/or blast, is also very important before the application of any finishes. This course introduces students to the equipment and skills required for good surface preparation for the application of finish and/or glues. The cost of materials for this course consists of lab fees for basic project and consumable material plus additional expenses for student projects and tools. Students should contact the Engineering Technologies office for a list of student supplied tools. (6 contact hours: 2 lecture, 4 lab)
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: CIMN 1520 or MECT 1100 This specialized course applies AutoCAD's Inventor software to produce three-dimensional representations that include viewpoints, coordinate systems, wire frame and solid modeling methods, system variables, Boolean operations, feature and design calculations, and the generation of complex three-dimensional surfaces. (5 contact hours: 2 lecture, 3 lab)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: WOOD 1100 Most wood turnery is now mass produced on automatic copy lathes. This course introduces the use of traditional lathes in creating rounded wooden objects for tables, chairs, cabinets, etc., and emphasizes the development of skills in turning techniques. Students will complete learning exercises that incorporate making pieces of traditional fine furniture. The cost of materials for this course consists of lab fees for basic project and consumable material plus additional expenses for student projects and tools. Students should contact the Engineering Technologies office for a list of student supplied tools. (6 contact hours: 2 lecture, 4 lab)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MATH 1101 This intermediate level course emphasizes the systematic application of equilibrium principles, commonly called statics, to parts and structures, including analysis of external forces as vectors, multi-force members, two-dimensional trusses, and properties of cross sectional geometry. Students will then apply these forces to the study of internal stress, with associated material limits, of various wood connections, shapes, and cross-sections. (6 contact hours: 2 lecture, 4 lab)
