3.00 Credits
This course is a first semester, freshman level course. It is a broad introductory study of the basic characteristics of engineering materials. The course will emphasize the selection of metals, plastics, ceramics, and composites for mechanical design purposes. The relationships of structure, material properties, and material selection to the design/ manufacturing process will be emphasized. The study will be enhanced by laboratory experience where the student will study mechanical testing equipment as well as chemical, mechanical and heat treatment effects on important material properties. The course will include the study of such areas as corrosion, strength, rigidity, wear resistance, thermal expansion, elasticity and plasticity principles of the common engineering materials. The course includes the use of equipment such as mechanical testing, light microscopes, electron microscopes, metallograph, furnaces and controllers. Data interpretation is also an important emphasis. The students also have substantial preparation work for the weekly labs.

3.00 Credits
This is an introductory course in engineering problem solving. The student will be presented with engineering-oriented problems to solve using various methods such as flowcharting, pseudocode, and MS Excel. The students will be exposed to structured programming using Visual Basic and learn the logical sequence of steps to obtain their solutions to the various technical problems.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to 3D solid modeling techniques utilizing feature-based, constraint-based parametric design. This course encourages the student to visualize parts in the 3D world and have a "design intent" plan for each part in which they will design. This will help in the arrangement of assemblies, parts, features and dimensions to meet design requirements.
-
3.00 Credits
Graphics/CAD involves the visualization, sketching, and geometric construction of mechanical components. Students will layout and create 2D working industrial drawings that adhere to industry standards. This course will illustrate CAD drawing construction techniques that implement graphical communication through the use of the alphabet of lines, orthographic projection, section views, auxiliary views and the creation of assembly and detail mechanical components. This course will also use the ASME Standard Y14.5M-1994 for Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing to facilitate the communication of geometry requirements for associated features on detail components and assemblies.
-
3.00 Credits
This manufacturing processes lab is a supplement to MECH 1643 aimed at exposing the students to laboratory exercises which will illustrate or support the concepts introduced in the lecture. Equipment covered in this lab includes: lathes, grinders, milling machines, band saws, drill presses, sheet metal forming, precision measurement devices, etc. As time or student experience permit, the topic of basic C.N.C. machine operations and programs may be introduced. Safety and proper manufacturing procedures will be emphasized.
-
3.00 Credits
The basic equipment, processes and service required to produce a product are studied. This course is designed to give the student the knowledge and vocabulary to generally comprehend the complex and inter-related functions that must be accomplished to produce the end product. The equipment covered in this course includes: lathes, grinders, milling machines, planers, shapers, band saws, drill presses, etc. The processes covered include the making of iron and steel, hot and cold forming, machining, welding, brazing, soldering, electro-discharge machining, grinding, etc. The services covered include safety, planning, quality control, and an introduction to Computer Aided Manufacturing.
-
3.00 Credits
Applications of fluid mechanics and thermodynamic principles to testing and evaluation of appropriate equipment or systems. Laboratory evaluation, development of concepts and applications of instrumentation for data acquisition/data reduction on pumps, compressors, fans, nozzles, orifices, and pipeflow.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to fluid mechnics and thermodynamics with emphasis upon the inter-relationships between the subject areas. Fluid properties, fluid statics, fluid flow with consideration of the energy relationships and introduction to compressive flow and gas dynamics. Thermodynamic analysis of basic systems and thermodynamic cycles.
-
3.00 Credits
Performance analysis testing and specifications for air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Operation, testing and performance evaluation of air conditioning units. Application and testing of control systems and circuits. Performance testing of commercial system components such as condensers, cooling towers and evaporative coolers.
-
3.00 Credits
Basic principles involved in the transformation of heat into mechanical energy. Study of variations in design of various components used in the internal combustion engine and the refrigeration system. An emphasis is placed on the general arrangement and construction practices used by equipment manufacturers.
