3.00 Credits
This is a lab course to supplement MECH 2503, Mechanics of Materials. It is a required co-requisite with MECH 2503 for several Mechanical Engineering Technology curricula and highly recommended (but not required) for all others. The emphasis of the course is on materials testing and the resulting technical reports. Tests covered include the tensile and compression tests of various materials, as well as torsion test and fatigue test. There are also exercises in measurement and calculation to verify important relationships developed in MECH 2503, such as Moment of Inertia and stresses developed in members under load.

A basic study of strength and rigidity of mechanical elements in tension, compression, shear and bending. Students will encounter and solve mechanical design problems involving stress and deflection of tension compression and direct shear members, shafts in torsion, beams in bending, and columns in compressive buckling. This course will also include the study of stress on connections such as weldments, riveted elements and bolted elements and the effect of stess concentration. The importance of basic design concepts such as stress, strain, deflections, elastic moduli, yield strength, ultimate strength, stiffness and safety factor are explored.

This is a second semester advanced Micro CAD course intended to expand and/or introduce industrial CAD drafting applications such as piping, electrical power, schematic, hydraulic and pneumatics, as well as specialized design type CAD drawings such as welded steel structure, structural steel frames, flat pattern, bending, and sheet utilization. Also, specialized CAD drafting techniques to produce CAD solid models and CAD layouts of plastic products, molds or components as well as machined parts and assemblies of mechanical systems will be accomplished. Working CAD drawing layouts with sections, auxiliary views, detailing, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing and design for assembly will be emphasized. Techniques of rendering, shading and plotting will be emphasized. The latest versions of software will be used such as Autocad, Mechanical Desktop, Mechanical Assistant, Thinkdesign, Autocad Inventor, and Visio Technical.

This course is a study of introductory mechanics through the application of the principles of statics. Students will focus on the equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies in two and three dimensions. Additional topics will include centroids, centers of gravity, and analysis of structures, friction, area, and mass moments of inertia. The course includes a basic study of strength and rigidity of mechanical elements in tension, compression, shear, and bending. The course will also emphasize the importance of basic design concepts such as stress, strain, deflections, elastic moduli, yield strength, ultimate strength, stiffness and safety factor with the focus on problem solving by using algebraic and trigonometric computations.
