They will also use project management tools such as flow charts and Gantt charts. They will also be reporting to their technical advisors in oral and written form. Workshops and tutorials will be scheduled by the applied research techniques instructor on regular intervals and as requested by the students. Technical seminars will continue. This course is the second of two courses dealing with the synthesis and analysis of mechanisms.
Primary topics are cams and gearing.
Analysis is by conventional methods using CADD and proprietary packages. This course is the first of two which combine the skills of stress analysis and failure theories with emperical and experiential data in the study of specific machine elements such as shafting, screws, springs, etc. Materials Introduces students to the science and engineering of materials. Using metallurgical laboratory techniques, phase diagrams and classification standards, students who successfully complete Materials Technology will describe the relationship between structure, processing, and properties of metals and other materials. This course develops the fundamentals of thermodynamics using practical applications.
