the use of traditional as well as computer-aided methods.(Prerequisites: MF 111 and IT 102)MF 241 Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) 3-3-4A study of flexible industrial automation as it applies toproduct-producing industry. Particular emphasis is onrobotics, numerical control and computer integratedmanufacturing. The basic theory and application of theseareas are studied. In the laboratory portion of the course, thestudent has the opportunity to set up, program, and operateall aspects of a computer-controlled manufacturing system.Programmable logic controllers, vision systems, and a varietyof robotic devices and CAM capabilities are included.(Prerequisites: MF 202, MF 220 and IT 102)MF 252 Quality Control 3-2-4A study of the techniques used to collect, organize andanalyze information which can be used in making decisionsregarding quality. The course will begin with the basicprinciples of statistics and probability and will then developsuch topics as process capability, process control, acceptancesampling and reliability. The scope of quality will beexpanded to include such topics as reliability, quality costs,product liability and quality systems. The laboratory sessionswill provide the student with the opportunity to apply theprinciples developed in the classroom through the use ofcomputer examples and "hands-on" exercises. (Prerequisites:MT 133 and IT 102)Mechanical Engineering TechnologyMC 101 Design Graphics I 1-3-2The first of a three course sequence aimed at developing theprinciples of graphic communication. Technical sketching,industrial print reading and Computer-Aided Drawing (CAD)training are presented concurrently. Topics covered includesketching techniques, lettering, orthographic projection,pictorials, auxiliary views, sectioning, dimensioning,tolerancing, fastening techniques and working drawings.MC 102 Design Graphics II 1-3-2A continuation of MC 101 into topics of Computer-AidedDrawing and Design (CAD). The CAD training will includedetailing, assembly drawings, Geometric Dimensioning &Tolerancing (GD & T) and 3D solid modeling. (Prerequisite:MC 101)MC 103 Design Graphics III 1-3-2This course will provide the student with an in-depthexposure to 3 dimensional CAD (Computer-Aided Drawingand Design) modeling. The topics will emphasize the use ofthe software in the mechanical design process. Several typesof modeling will be covered; wire frame, surface, and solid.Laboratory exercises will focus on creating 3-D modelgeometry and then extracting 2-D geometry from the 3-Dmodel to create engineering drawings. Prior knowledge ofCAD is assumed. (Prerequisite: MC 101)MC 150 Statics and Strength of Materials 3-2-4Analysis of external force systems acting upon bodies inequilibrium with subsequent treatment of the stresses andstrains induced. Laboratory projects will involve the use ofnondestructive and destructive testing equipment todetermine the various mechanical properties of materialsand their behavior under load. (Prerequisites: MT 133 and PH133)MC 205 Material Science 3-2-4This course studies the structures, properties and behavior ofengineering materials as well as how they can be alteredthrough mechanical working and heat treating. Materialsconsidered are ferrous and nonferrous metals and theiralloys, plastics and ceramics. Consideration is also given tothe selection of these materials to meet manufacturing anddesign criteria. Laboratory experiments will complement theclassroom presentations. (Prerequisites: CH 105; MC 150strongly recommended)MC 228 Introduction to the Thermal Sciences 4-0-4An introduction to the thermal sciences: thermodynamics,fluid mechanics and heat transfer. The fundamentals ofequilibrium thermodynamics will be presented. Topics willinclude thermodynamic properties, processes, processdiagrams and cycles. The basic concepts of fluid mechanics asapplied to internal and external flows, lift and drag will bediscussed. A brief study of heat transfer in its three modes(conduction, convection and radiation) will also bepresented. (Prerequisites: MT 205 and PH 133)MC 250 Dynamics and Mechanical Design I 3-2-4A study of the effect of forces acting on rigid and deformablebodies subject to static and dynamic loading, and theutilization of this knowledge for the design of mechanicalcomponents. Major topics include strength and fatigue,kinematic analysis, power transmission, design methodology,and computer applications. (Prerequisites: EN 125, MC 102,MC 150, MT 134 and IT 102)MC 260 Mechanical Design II 3-2-4A continuation of MC 250, treating the topics of rigid andelastic fasteners, shafts and bearings, welds, springs, clutchesand brakes. A series of design projects combining several ofthese elements will be assigned. Computer methods will beemployed where appropriate. (Prerequisites: MT 205 and MC250 )MC 280 Fundamentals of Geometric Dimensioning andTolerancing (GD & T) 2-0-2A study of the technical language used to specify engineeringdesign and drawing requirements with respect to actual"function" and "relationship" of part features. The GeometricDimensioning and Tolerancing (GD & T) language is based onthe US Standard ANSI/ASME Y14.5-1994. Practice in readingand applying the standard will be accomplished with videotapedpresentations, discussion periods and workbookpractice sessions. (Prerequisite: MC 101or permission ofdepartment head of Mechanical Engineering Technology)MC 282 Senior Project 2-2-3This course integrates the previous course work andexperiences of the students by allowing them to select,define, research, and report on a single, major technical topicof their choice.
