In this course the fundamental principles of operation will be covered. The student may work within a small engineering team to design and develop a project. Students are expected to develop a complete plan from feasibility study, cost analysis, and electrical design and documentation through the building of a prototype. All students must make a formal written and verbal presentation at the completion of the course. This is the first course in a two-course series introducing the subject of mechanics of rigid bodies.
Dynamics deals with the analysis of bodies in motion and effects of forces upon such bodies.
In this course DC and AC fundamentals are applied to the study of electrical networks. In this course the responses of varied circuits to basic input functions are analyzed by using transform methods. Quality Control covers the fields of statistical process control, nondestructive testing, automated measurement, and corrective feedback. This course is an analytical study of the effects of applied forces acting on structural members. Topics in this course include stress and strain, torsion, shear and moment diagrams, stresses in and deflection of beams, columns, connections, and the properties of materials.
