Programs are specifically written to be used in the areas of statics, strength of materials, machine design, heat transfer and fluid mechanics. The main purpose of this course is to introduce the Mechanical Engineering Technology student to the principles and operation of mechanical equipment such as lathes, drill presses, milling machines and measurement instruments. Several manufacturing processes such as welding, powder metallurgy, sheet metal forming, extrusions, etc. are also covered. Individual laboratory projects will be assigned to each student to reinforce the topics covered in the theory. This course is a continuation of MET117.
Topics emphasize the theory and operation of manual and numerically controlled milling machines.
Laboratory projects will be assigned to reinforce the topics covered in the theory. This is a basic course which provides students with the understanding of the principles of statics. Topics such as resultant of forces, equilibrium of forces, moments, couples, analysis of simple trusses, centroids, center of gravity, moments of inertia and friction are covered in this course. This is a theory and laboratory course designed to give students a basic understanding of crystal structures, effects of cold work and annealing on metal structures and properties, phase diagrams, heat treatment of steel, corrosion of materials, failure analysis of ferrous and nonferrous alloys, ceramics, plastics and composite materials. Laboratory experiments are associated with the topics covered in the theory.
