    This subject deals with themotions of particles and rigid bodies and the forces causing them. Topics include rectilinear and curvilinearmotion, rotation and planemotion. Principles include Newton's Laws, work and energy, conservation of energy, and impulse andmomentum. (prereq:MA-225,MT-200)
  • 3.00 Credits

    This is a course that examines the basic characteristics of fluids. Fundamental fluid properties (density, viscosity) are examined. Fluid statics focuses on the concept of fluid pressure and its variation. Fluid dynamics establishes the fluid flow energy equation, and examines the concept of losses. Applications to turbomachinery are presented. Laboratory experiments support the concepts introduced in the lecture. (prereq:MA-128, PH-113)
  • 4.00 Credits

    This is an introduction to the fundamentals of thermodynamics for the student inmechanical engineering technology. The fundamentals of the first law, the second law and property relations for the pure substance with phase change and ideal gases are covered. (prereq:MA-128, PH-113)
  • 4.00 Credits

    The course applies thermodynamic theory to refrigeration systems and internal combustion cycles. The course is also an introduction to the basic principles of heat transfer. The laboratory component of the course is designed to show application of basic principles of thermodynamics and heat transfer to various engineering systems. (prereq:MT-3101,MT-3111)
  • 3.00 Credits

    Measurement and control devices and their properties are examined. Electrical,mechanical, thermal, fluid flow and othermeasurement elements are described and tested. Static, dynamic and frequency response performancemeasures are applied to device operating characteristics. Analog signal conditioningmethods are used. (prereq: ET-2550)
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course covers fundamental concepts in statistical process control, quality assurance, and design of experiments. It provides a brief overview of each of these topics and offers real-life examples designed to illustrate the appropriate use of each technique. (prereq:MA-262, MT-1201)
  • 4.00 Credits

    This course is designed as an introduction to the finite elementmethod and a continuation of the study of solidmechanics begun inMT-205. Lecture topics include steps in the finite element analysis process; element formulations of spring, truss and beamelements using direct equilibriumand energymethods; assembly of equations and application of loads and boundary conditions; interpretation of FEA results; static failure criteria; beamdeflections; pressure vessel theory; and column buckling. Lab exercises will alternate betweenmechanical testing laboratories and computer simulations. These exercises will include stress concentrations, beamstresses/deflections, thick-wall pressure vessels, combined bending/torsional loading and column buckling. Students will use a commercial finite element programto simulate the experiments performed in themechanical testing laboratory. (prereq:MT-205,MA-225)
  • 4.00 Credits

    In this course, the use of solidmodeling in engineering design will be explored. Students will learn to create partmodels, assemblies, and drawings using SolidWorks solidmodeling software.Motion analysis with COSMOS/Motion software will also be introduced. Integration of solidmodeling into the product design process will be emphasized. (prereq: EG-124)
