1.00 Credits
4 lab hrs, 1 cr The lathe, horizontal and vertical milling machines, drill press and grinder (surface and pedestal). Basic operations performed on these different machine tools provide hands-on experience in basic manufacturing techniques and give students a better understanding of the processes they may eventually be called upon to recommend, design or update. Prerequisite: None
-
3.00 Credits
2 cl hrs, 2 lab hrs, 3 cr A continuation of Industrial Processes with emphasis on semiproduction and the function of the methods engineer. Medium run production equipment setup, economy, tolerance, fixtures, CNC programming, using CAD/CAM and related planning are covered. Also covered are press work, time and motion, machinability, feeds, speeds and job-cost estimating. Students' end-of-term reports include completion of a finished product incorporating modern manufacturing methods. Prerequisite: IND 1112/DD 112, MECH 1101/MT 101; pre- or corequisite: MAT 1275/MA 275
-
2.00 Credits
1 cl hrs, 3 lab hrs, 2 cr The application of the principles developed in IND 1112 to more complex detail and assembly drawings. Subject areas covered are: tolerancing for interchangeable manufacturing, design and layout of gears, gear trains, linkages and double auxiliary views. Laboratory work utilizes computer-aided drafting (CAD) systems. Prerequisite: IND 1112/DD 112; preor corequisite: MAT 1275/MA 275
-
3.00 Credits
3 cl hrs, 1 lab hr, 3 cr The foundation for most of the courses in the mechanical engineering technology curriculum and the basis of machine and structural design. Included are the basics in problem-solving, significant figures, dimensional analysis and engineering graphs. In addition, the following are covered in depth: statics, stress and strain, properties of materials, joints, thin-walled pressure vessels, centroid and center of gravity, moment of inertia and beam analysis and design. Prerequisites: IND 1112/DD 112, MAT 1275/MA 275
-
2.00 Credits
1 cl hr, 3 lab hrs, 2 cr Computer applications in mechanical engineering technology that give the student a working knowledge in using the computer as a tool. The student develops programming skills in a modern high-level programming language and applies these skills in performing engineering and technical calculations, data entry and data retrieval. The computer is also applied as a design tool. The student is introduced to computer graphics and to using the computer as a machine controller. Prerequisites: IND 1112/DD 112, MAT 1275/MA 275
-
3.00 Credits
2 cl hrs, 2 lab hrs, 3 cr An introduction to physical metallurgy and engineering materials. Structure of materials and their applications. Properties of materials, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, alloys, polymers, ceramics composites, adhesives and lubricants. Heat treatment, cold and hot working, phase diagrams and microstructure. Experiments are performed on hardness, plastic deformation, annealing, nondestructive testing, metallurgy and computer problem-solving. Pre- or corequisite: PHYS 1433/SC 433 or equivalent
-
3.00 Credits
3 cl hrs, 3 cr A continuation of MT 233 - Statics and Strength of Materials. Topics covered (with computer applications) are review of beam design, torsion, combined stresses, columns, working stresses, sharing and screw fasteners. Prerequisites: IND 1112/DD 112, MECH 1233/MT 233; corequisite: MAT 1375/MA 375
-
3.00 Credits
2 cl hrs, 2 lab hrs, 3 cr Introduces students to the concepts of planar mechanisms, such as linkages and cams. Students learn the basic knowledge of velocity, acceleration and force analysis of mechanisms using analytical, experimental and computer methods. They learn Newton's laws, work, energy, impulse, momentum, conservative force fields and impact. Rotation and plane motion of rigid bodies is introduced. Prerequisites: MECH 1222/MT 222, MECH 1233/MT 233, MECH 1240/MT 240; corequisite: MAT 1375/MA 375
