MEET 1020 – Fundamentals of Dimensional Metrology - 2 Credits
The basic objective of the course is to develop dimensional
measurement ability for the technician. This ability must include the understanding
of the need for standards and determination of required precision as well as
recognition of uncertainty in measurements. From the practical viewpoint, this
ability will include a knowledge of instruments in use and techniques of measurements.
Lab: 3 hours
MEET 1510 – Statics and Strength of Materials - 5 Credits
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, and
concurrent enrollment in MATH 1710) Lecture: 4 hours, Lab: 2 hours
MEET 1810 – Design Drafting - 3 Credits
A course in the production of accurate and complete detail
and assembly drawings. The student will gain experience in using handbook 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 submitted
by the student. (Prerequisite: ENGR 1030 or equivalent) Lecture: 2 hours, Lab:
4 hours
MEET 2820 – Basic Tool Design - 3 Credits
A course designed to help the student 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
A course in which design principles of machine elements are
studied and calculations made in determining the size and shape of various machine
parts. (Prerequisites: MEET 2920) Lecture: 3 hours
MEET 2840 – Design Problems - 5 Credits
Application of acquired knowledge in mathematics, sciences
and drawing to practical problems. The student analyzes problems, gathers data,
checks mathematical calculations, sketches and makes working drawings. (Prerequisites:
MEET 1810, 1510) Lecture: 1 hour, Lab: 8 hours
MEET 2920 – Basic Mechanisms - 4 Credits
A course dealing 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
