Schedule of Classes

Full-time cooperative education assignment for manufacturing engineering technology students who alternate periods of full-time school with periods of full-time academic or career-related work in industry. Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory.

Force systems in two and three dimensions: equilibrium; structures; distributed force; moments of inertia, friction, and work.

Study of particle and rigid body motion using principles of force-mass-acceleration, work-energy, and momentum.

Precision measurement and its relationship to Geometric dimensioning and tolerances (GD&T) and calibrations. Conduct Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA) for appropriate process measures. Statistical process control and quality assurance using automated gauges. Use of machine vision, Coordinate Measurement Machine, Robotic measurement arm, non-contact measuring systems.

Application of design principles covering: stress analysis, deflection, failure theories, fatigue, gears. Manufacturability and the use of references and manufacturers' data.

Topics of special interest which may vary each time course is offered. Topic is stated in current Schedule of Classes. May be repeated for a maximum of 6 hours credit.

Computer assisted process planning and estimating. Concepts of computer control and feedback mechanisms. Design considerations for machine tools, machining cells, robotics, and flexible manufacturing systems. Lecture and Lab.

Analysis, design, and layout of manufacturing tooling, including jigs and fixtures, gauging devices, and dies. Analysis of tooling for varying production volume, lead time, process capability, and cost. Laboratory in tooling and layout simulation.

Application of engineering technology principles to solve a real-world problem. Student works as a member of team assigned to a problem in a manufacturing or processing organization. Requires a professional written and oral report. Cross-listed with IME 499
