Students will complete two computer projects and will write reports for the projects using software for word processing, spreadsheet and technical plotting. Computer Aided Manufacturing Students learn boolean logic, and ladder logic in order to program PLCs. Students learn about first and second order control systems and how to optimize closed loop feedback gains to quicken the response and increase the accuracy of positional servo-mechanisms. All assignments are completed using MathCad and submitted electronically. Fifty percent of tests require MathCad and are submitted electronically.
Students prepare reports and numerical calculations using word processing and spreadsheet software.
561 Concurrent Engineering Students use e-mail and MicroSoft Word to submit written analysis of case studies. Students use Power Point for presentations on new product design. Students also access a web Site on the Internet to obtain all course material. E-mail is used to communicate on a daily basis between students and the course instructor. Experimental Stress Analysis Students use word processing software to write reports and spreadsheets to analyze and present experimental results.
