MEGT 1010: Manufacturing Process

Credits 3
This course introduces industrial manufacturing processes that employ processes for material shaping, joining, machining and assembly to the student. Topics include: casting, shaping and molding of metals, ceramics and polymers; particulate processing of metals and ceramics, metal forming, machining, sheet metal working, joining and assembling, surface treatment, and manufacturing design considerations. Emphasis is provided on raw materials, quality, and costs of finished products. The course includes lab exercises that demonstrate the applications of the topics covered in actual manufacturing processes.

MEGT 1321: Machining and Welding

Credits 2
An introduction to machining and welding technology. This course will include emphasis of use and operation of selected machinery, various machining operations, selected welding processes and precision measuring instruments to be combined with laboratory projects and safety. Topics will include industrial safety and health practices; welding quality; use of cutting and grinding tools; introduction to welding terms and symbols; shielded metal arc welding (SMAW); gas metal arc welding (GMAW); gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW); basic machining operations; and precision measuring instruments.

MEGT 2030: Statics

Credits 3

This course introduces the student to the study of forces acting on objects and their effects on a body at rest or at constant velocity. Static principles are applied in analyzing structural systems. Topics include: vectors, resultants, equilibrium of force systems, free body diagrams (FBD), analysis of trusses and frames, distributed loading and geometric properties of areas. Emphasis is placed on bodies at rest in both 2 dimensions and 3 dimensions.

MEGT 2080: Strength of Materials

Credits 4

This course studies the behavior of materials when subjected to different loadings and constraints. Topics include: stress, strain, material properties, properties of cross sectional areas, bending and buckling of members, beam and column analysis, torsion and combined loading. Emphasis is provided on predicting material behavior in various mechanical applications and utilizing fundamental analysis techniques to determine stress in solids under tension, compression, torsion and/or shear. The course includes hands on laboratory exercises such as evaluating beam deflection and the thermal expansion of various metals.
