This course provides a basic background to instrumentation and measurement for mechanical technicians. It covers units, standards, linear and angular measurement, torque, pressure, temperature calorimetry, viscosity and photometry.
This course examines the general features of common mechanical systems and their properties. The main focus is on dynamic systems including moving mechanisms with rotating and linear motions. The drafting component focuses on the basic views for representing engineering drawings and sketching of these views from isometric views of objects.
This course introduces students to the terminology and principles of statics and kinetics as fundamental to mechanical engineering. Topics include SI Units, force systems, moments, torque, graphical methods of solving triangles and polygon’s of forces, frameworks and friction and work and power.
This course builds on the foundation of MECH 121. It will provide an in-depth understanding of the theory of machines, kinematics, kinetics. Calculations and graphs will be used in solving problems related to moment of inertia, torque, thrust, buoyancy etc.
This course continues from MECH 122. It focuses on the analysis of force diagrams for the solution of problems related to frameworks, roof trusses and other load bearing structures. The course also covers direct stress and strain, shear stress and strain, thermal stress and strain due to suddenly applied and impact loads and shear force and bending moments and strength of materials.
This is the follow-up to MECH 221. It revisits topics covered in the first two courses in the series in order to do in-depth analysis of engineering principles and applications. It takes a comprehensive look at the strength of materials.
This course is designed to give students a general foundation in mechanical engineering practice. It covers such topics as basic bench work, forging, basic lathe work and drilling operations.
