-
1.00 - 5.00 Credits
A student may contract for one to five credit hours of independent study through an arrangement with an instructor who agrees to direct such a study. The student will submit a plan acceptable to the instructor and to the department chair. The instructor and student will confer regularly regarding the process of the study.
-
3.00 Credits
Tool, Die & Fixture design is a specialized phase of mechanical or manufacturing engineering that develops the tooling and work holding devices for manufacturing operations. This course will introduce the student to the design of tools, machining tooling, jigs and fixtures and other work holding devices. Students will be required to create working industrial drawings for various work holding devices and fixtures for a myriad of metal removal applications. This will require students to research, analyze, and select the most equitable and safe design solution through calculations, component selection, and mechanical design. Topics covered in this course in-clude theory of cutting and forming of metal, dies and die types, miscellaneous press working operations, presses and press accessories, press classification and selection, blanking and piercing dies, die life, dies block, die sets, die material, utilization, function and nomenclature of die components, tool and die design-techniques, mathematical analysis of die components, etc.

3.00 Credits
This course introduces the students to the concepts of automated systems and the integration of various control systems and devices. It presents an overall perspective on what an automated system consists of and incorporates various monitoring and control devices and equipment. The course advances topics introduced in earlier control systems or automation courses. Concepts learned in this class will be applied in the final project. This project will investigate the impact of the different components of an automated cell on performance measures such as cycle time and production rate.

3.00 Credits
The finite element method is a numerical method for solving engineering problems. This course will introduce engineering technology students to the principles of finite element method by formulating differential equations for solving simple engineering- oriented problems in the areas of structural analysis, heat transfer and fluid flow. The students will also learn to apply a programming environment such as VBA for methods in solving more complex finite element applications by iterative means. A commercial finite element analysis software system will be used as a solver for larger scale 2D and 3D models.
-
3.00 Credits
Topics covered in this course include an introduction to quality control, statistical quality control in manufacturing, cost of quality, control charts, hypothesis testing and other quality improvement methods, process capability, methods and philosophy of statistical process control, process design and improvement, design of experiments, process optimization, lot-by-lot acceptance sampling, other acceptance sampling techniques.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the theory and application of continuum fluid mechanics. Fluid properties and state relations are studied. Incompressible laminar and turbulent flows are investigated using control volume, Reynolds Transport Theorem, and momentum and energy equations. Navier-Stokes Equations are developed. Dimensional analysis, Buckingham Pi Theorem and modeling are covered. Flow rate, pipe sizing and minor losses in pipe systems are addressed. Compressible flow and gas dynamics are introduced and include topics in boundary layer theory, mach number, stagnation properties and shock waves. Turbomachinery, pumps and turbines are included. Weekly laboratory experiences address all the above topics.
-
3.00 Credits
The concepts and the practices of quality control, precision measurements and inspection needed in the manufacturing environment are studied. Advanced concepts of direct and indirect measurements, contact and non-contact gauging, angular measurement and surface texture/finish are covered. Expanded coverage of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing and drawing specifications as related to inspection will be emphasized. Precision measurements and part inspection using both manual and computer-controlled coordinate measurement machines and optical comparators will also be covered. The students will play an active role in a "team" project involving research and reporting on various aspects of the field of metrology.
-
3.00 Credits
This course gives to students a set of technical and analytical tools and concepts underlying manufacturing operations, process safety, the principles of engineering economics, statistical analysis, uncertainty and risk assessment within the context of manufacturing/production analysis and design. It describes and applies various concepts and techniques that havebeen developed to assist manufacturing managers in making decisions about the design and operation of manufacturing processes and systems, with the analysis emphasizing safety, economics, equipment performance, uncertainty, flexibility and monitoring, and equipment reliability. Software including discrete-event simulation and statistical analysis packages are used in combination with engineering economy tables and manual/computer calculations.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to provide a general knowledge of the various components and elements of devices utilized in a manufacturing process system design. The emphasis is on use, selection and specification of the components, not on the aspects of individual mechanical design principles best left to the mechanical engineers and designers. The students will be able to select and specify individual "machine elements" or incorporate them into a system. The selection criteria will involve comparisons of the various available elements utilizing charts, tables and/or manufacturers data generally available in traditional reference texts, standards manuals or literature.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will introduce students to the statistical tools used to improve key manufacturing process performance characteristics by optimizing process settings. The course also discusses confounding factorial and fractional factorial design, introduction to orthogonal arrays and the Taguchi methods. Throughout the course students will be required to perform statistical analysis on a variety of manufacturing processes. Basic knowledge of statistical concepts is required.
