Applications will be stressed throughout thecourse including: area; volumes of revolution; centroids; andmoments of inertia. A graphing calculator* will be required.(Prerequisite: MT 205)MT 210 Differential Equations 4-0-4This course in differential equations will include: methods ofsolving and applications of ordinary first- and second-orderdifferential equations; Laplace Transformations; seriessolutions; basics of linear algebra; and boundary valueMF 202 Measurement and Control 3-2-4The course begins with the study of basic electronics (analogand digital) and electronic components (transistors, op-amps,SCR's). Electromechanical principles are introduced, leadingto consideration of sensors and transducers used inproduction processes. Paralleling this sequence is thedevelopment of programming in Visual Basic. These twopaths join during the second half of the course whereprogramming logic controllers (PLC's) and relay ladder logic(RLL) are presented. In the laboratory, students gain handsonexperience with all hardware and software covered in thecourse. (Prerequisites: IT 102, PH 135 (or basic AC/DCtheory))MF 220 Manufacturing Processes and Machine Tools 3-3-4A technical study of the theory, equipment and application ofmachine tool and metal removal processes. In addition tounderstanding machining methods, the economics andcomparison between machining methods are stressed.Processes covered are turning, milling, drilling, broaching,abrasive machining, finishing, numerical control as well aselectrical and chemical machining. Theory is applied throughactual machine operation in laboratory. (Prerequisites: EN125, MF 111 and MC 102)MF 230 Production Systems 3-2-4A study of the organization of the production system as wellas the techniques used to control its operation. Topicscovered include production planning, plant layout, inventorycontrol, work measurement, job sequencing, and operationscheduling. The laboratory sessions will apply the techniquesstudied through a series of integrated projects which develop8/17/2011 NHTI, Concord’s Community College Course Descriptions 2011-2012 41
