MEET (Mechanical Engineering Technology)

MEET 1020 - Fundamentals of Dimensional Metrology - 2 Credits

The objective of this course is to develop dimensional measurement ability for the technician. This ability must include an understanding of the need for standards and determination of required precision as well as recognition of uncertainty in measurements. This includes a practical knowledge of instruments in use and techniques of measurements. Lab: 3 hours

MEET 1510 - Statics and Strength of Materials - 5 Credits

This course is a study of the fundamentals of statics for rigid bodies and the deformations and internal stresses in elastic bodies resulting from the action of external forces. Graphic and analytical methods of problem solutions are developed. Problems deal with application of forces, equilibrium free body diagrams, analysis of stresses and properties of materials necessary to meet functional requirements in design. (Prerequisites: MATH 1700, ENGR 1020, MATH 1710) Lecture: 4 hours, Lab: 2 hours

MEET 1810 - Design Drafting - 3 Credits

This is a course in the production of accurate and complete detail and assembly drawings. Student will gain experience in using handbooks and other source and reference materials. The areas covered are developments, gears, cams, advanced dimensioning systems and working drawings. A requirement of the course is the successful completion of an original design project. (Prerequisite: ENGR 1030 or equivalent) Lecture: 2 hours, Lab: 4 hours

MEET 2820 - Basic Tool Design - 3 Credits

This course is designed to help students gain the knowledge and experience necessary to design tools commonly used in modern manufacturing. (Prerequisite: MEET 1810 and MATH 1700) Lecture: 1 hour, Lab: 4 hours

MEET 2830 - Elements of Machine Design - 3 Credits

This is a course in which the design principles of machine elements are studied and calculations are made in determining the size and shape of various machine parts. (Prerequisites: MEET 1510) Lecture: 3 hours

MEET 2840 - Design Problems - 5 Credits

This course involves applying acquired knowledge in mathematics, sciences and drawing to practical problems. Students analyze problems, gather data, check mathematical calculations, sketch and make working drawings. (Prerequisites: MEET 1810, 1510) Lecture: 1 hour, Lab: 8 hours

MEET 2920 - Basic Mechanisms - 4 Credits

This course deals with the analysis of the motion characteristics of cams, gears and linkages and the application of this study in the design of a mechanism to provide desired motion characteristics. (Prerequisites: MEET 1810 and 1510) Lecture: 2 hours, Lab: 4 hours
