Prerequisite: ENGR 1000 or permission of instructor. Through a unique multi-disciplinary approach, this course, a continuation of ENGR 1000 Introduction to Engineering Technology, introduces students to the combined use of technical writing (with an emphasis on standard usage), current hardware and software technology, and oral communications in the production of text, computer-generated documents, and oral presentations. The laboratory experience includes electronic and traditional research, application of the basic principles of technical writing, preparation and importation of text and graphics, and development of specification sheets, brochures, proposals, manuals, reports, and oral presentations. It also includes demonstration of the latest developments in hardware, software, advanced graphics, video, audio, and computer discs (CDs) relating to technical communications. (5 contact hours: 2 lecture, 3 lab) [Catalog Entry]
ADDITIONAL FEES: $38.00

Prerequisite: CADT 2100 or permission of instructor. This is a specialized course in which students will study the presentation of complex geometry according to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as written by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), document ASME Y14.5. Topics include surface characterization, fits, cumulative and non-cumulative dimensions, maximum material condition, coordinate tolerancing, use of datums, as well as tolerance of common geometric forms and positions. The course also introduces students to a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) as a means of applied measurement and part conformance. (3 contact hours: 1 lecture, 2 lab) [Catalog Entry]
ADDITIONAL FEES: $27.00

Prerequisite: MATH 1280 or MATH 2400 or MATH 2500, MECT 2110. This course introduces students to the study of internal forces, with associated material limits, of structures and machine parts necessary to maintain equilibrium. Students will study effects of direct and shear loads in relation to material strength and deformation for simple structures, beams, and pressure vessels. (5 contact hours: 2 lecture, 3 lab) (TAG) [Catalog Entry]

Prerequisite: MATH 1180 or MATH 1400 or MATH 1650. This course provides an introduction to metals, plastics, and ceramics commonly used in engineering technology. The course includes materials processing and fabrication, crystal and amorphous structures, relation of processing and heat treatment to internal structure, alloys and solid solutions, use of phase diagrams, prominent properties, and test methods. (4 contact hours: 2 lecture, 2 lab) (TAG) [Catalog Entry]
ADDITIONAL FEES: $20.00

Prerequisite: CADT 2500, MECT 2110, MECT 2230 may be taken concurrently. This capstone course integrates prior learning in product and machine design and manufacturing. Students will utilize their skills in a team environment to design, analyze, manufacture, and evaluate one or more functional products. Students will use concepts of the experience of applying the disciplines of statics, dynamics, and strength of materials to the design of machine elements. Students will study various types of bearings, gears, power shafts, couplings, springs, and fasteners. (7 contact hours: 1 lecture, 6 lab) [Catalog Entry]
ADDITIONAL FEES: $55.00
