  • MECH 7503: Mechanical Vibrations

    3.00 Credits
    SUNY College of Technology at Alfred

    The course initially develops a foundation in analyzing elementary single and two degree of freedom systems subjected to natural and various types of forced motion. Then using this foundation, multi-degree of freedom systems are investigated for both natural and forced motion. Modeling, damping, resonance, force transmissibility and modal analysis are discussed. Emphasis is placed on practical vibrations problems in several engineering fields. Design problems provide the opportunity to apply principles taught in the classroom to realistic problems encountered by practicing engineers. In class demonstrations supplement the theory development.

  • MECH 8123: Simulation of Indu & Manuf Systems

    3.00 Credits
    SUNY College of Technology at Alfred

    Simulation is the process of building a model of a system or decision problem, and experimenting with the model to obtain insight and support decision making. This course introduces students to computer based simulation and modeling with applications to all areas of business, engineering, and industry where management, strategic and operational decision making can be enhanced through the modeling and analysis of complex systems. Applications are designed to depict industrial system modeling including manufacturing processes and production systems, inventory analysis and management, and other aids to decision making, with a particular emphasis on understanding the impact of resource bottlenecks and time delays on system behavior. Hands-on modeling skills are developed using such as "Promodel" and/or "Arena" simulation software packages. Through project works, students are exposed to essential concepts, methods, and applications of simulation in manufacturing and industrial business settings.

  • MECH 8143: Six-Sigma,Techniques & Strate

    3.00 Credits
    SUNY College of Technology at Alfred

    Six-Sigma is a quality improvement methodology structured to reduce product or service failure rates to a negligible level (roughly 3.4 failures per million opportunities). The Six-Sigma process encompasses all aspects of a business, including management, service delivery, design, production and customer satisfaction. This course explores the principles and practices of Six-Sigma in manufacturing oriented industries. Students will be introduced to the key concepts of Six-Sigma to better prepare them to support a company's continuous improvement efforts. Students will also learn how to select, justify, and apply the principles, tools, and techniques to improve manufacturing and/or business performance. Topics covered include quality function deployment; teams and teamwork; DMAIC problem-solving; measures and metrics; project management; statistical methods; control charts; design of experiments; reliability; failure modes and effects analysis; and lean manufacturing. A realistic capstone industry project wil be develped and defended by students, individually or in teams, to support understanding and deployment of the Six-Sigma strategies on the factory floor and beyond.
