4.00 Credits
A continuation of Thermodynamics I with applications. Theory of vapor engines using compression of gasses and vapors; internal combustion engines; steam and gas turbine cycles, compressors, refrigeration, and mixtures of fluids. Three lecture hours, three lab hours. Prerequisite: MET 470. Laboratory fee.
-
4.00 Credits
Analysis of the transfer of heat by conduction, convection, and radiation in steady and unsteady flow. Topics include steady-state conduction through a plane wall, hollow spheres and cylinders, thermal resistance of insulation, dimensional analysis, convection heat transfer coefficients, and forced convection in circular tubes and flat plates. Three lecture hours, three lab hours. Prerequisite: MTH 241. Laboratory fee.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the methods used in industry for providing major tooling components for the production of specific products. Topics include the following: materials used in tooling; applied design requirements for specific manufacturing processes, their cost, type, and applications; development of both assembly and detailed drawings. Three lecture hours, three lab hours. Prerequisite: MET 116. Laboratory fee.
-
4.00 Credits
The study of kinematics and the kinetics of particles. Various concepts such as force, mass and acceleration, kinetics of rigid bodies, work and energy, impulse and momentum are explored. Graphic and mathematical solutions are used to explore velocity and acceleration graphs; linkages, instant centers, cams, gear trains, static and inertia forces in machines, flywheels, and balancing of rotating and reciprocating mechanisms. Three lecture hours, three lab hours. Prerequisites: MET 236 and PHY 121. Laboratory fee.
-
3.00 Credits
A capstone course that gives students an in-depth understanding of how to approach open-ended challenges and learn how to creatively analyze, synthesize, and apply the technical knowledge from prior course work, such as testing, design, and manufacturing of actual electromechanical systems. Teams of students work on either an externally sponsored or an in-house project advised by mechanical engineering faculty and engineers from sponsoring companies. The semester culminates with a public and formal presentation of results evaluated by a professional jury of practitioners. Prerequisite: Senior standing or approval of instructor. Laboratory fee.
-
4.00 Credits
A continuation of Machine Design I. Fatigue, deformation criteria, and failure theories are used to design standard mechanical components. Various machine elements are investigated. Topics include gearing, bearings, belts, clutches, brakes, and power transmission. Three lecture hours, three lab hours. Prerequisite: MET 363. Laboratory fee.
-
4.00 Credits
Pneumatic and electronic instrumentation for process control and automation. ON-OFF, proportional, integral, and derivative closed-loop control systems; related auxiliaries and miniature systems, valves, and electromechanical converters, with lab report required. Three lecture hours, three lab hours. Prerequisite: ECT 364. Laboratory fee.
-
3.00 Credits
To manage in the global marketplace, students learn about responding to changing environmental events by establishing management systems that are effective, efficient, and adaptive. Students are responsible for setting goals and strategies, organizing diverse teams, leading and motivating members, and improving performance, as well as understanding the consequences of these actions on human behavior. Prerequisite: Completion of 40 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
This course focuses on improving students' ability to work in interpersonal, team, and group contexts. Small-group theory and research form the basis for the study of communication, leadership, and group decision-making skills. Through interaction and feedback, students develop an awareness of their own behavior and how it affects others in pairs, groups, and teams. They also develop skills in dealing with people of diverse backgrounds. A weekend workshop may be held in lieu of several classes. Prerequisite: MGT 310.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the concepts, principles, problems, and practices of operations management in both manufacturing and service organizations. Topics such as operations strategy, facilities design, operations planning and control, quality and productivity, and project management will be covered. Prerequisites: QNT 230 and MGT 310 (may be taken concurrently).
