Students will explore the manufacturing process not only as a sequence of material manipulation but also as a product of management. Current managerial philosophies and their effects on every phase of manufacturing will be examined. This information will be synthesized and applied to a manufacturing model, which will give students an opportunity to test their theories on managing a manufacturing facility with limited resources. Throughout the course, emphasis will be placed on effective workplace skills including teamwork, integrity and dependability.

This problem-based learning course covers the knowledge and skills needed to explore the engineering design process. Individual projects, team projects and laboratory exercises will be used to continually hone the student’s interpersonal skills, creative abilities and understanding of the design process. Everyday products will be examined for historical, societal, design, safety, and manufacturing perspectives. Topics include ideation, sketching, design constraints, solid modeling, decision making, statistical quality control, manufacturing methods, and engineering analysis. Students will develop an appreciation for good design and the ability to communicate design ideas via 3D modelling, written and oral reports. There are lectures, demonstrations, and a series of lab exercises designed to reinforce what the student has learned. This course uses the latest version of the Solidworks design software.

This course provides the basic concepts and practices of blueprint reading and technical drawing. Other topics of discussion will include sketching, dimensioning, tolerances, as well as Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GDT) and other information needed to read and interpret engineering drawings. Emphasis will be placed on using reading and interpreting drawings to understand the conventions for interpreting engineering drawings for Design and Manufacturing and other Engineer disciplines.

A course in 2D/3D model construction using AutoCAD software. Topics include creating wireframe working drawing/models (details and assemblies) in model space with paper space layouts for plotting, using tiled and non-tiled viewports. Operational aspects of the software will be addressed for processing engineering drawings efficiently. Emphasis will be on the creation of drawings to be transferred into CAM software for manufacturing purposes.

This course will introduce the student to the principles of Material Science as the subject relates to the selection and testing of ferrous and nonferrous metals, thermosetting and thermoplastic polymers and ceramics. Emphasis will also be placed upon physical and mechanical properties of metals as well as heat treatment.

This is an applied course in Euclidean geometry stressing calculator manipulation and problem solving. The topics include linear, area, and solid measures involving US and SI units, solutions of linear equations, proportional relationships, congruent and similar figures, properties of polygons, circles, and ellipses.

Provides students with the basic algebra and trigonometry manipulatives to compute solutions in their curricula. Algebra topics offered are signed numbers, polynomial operations, solutions of linear equations involving numerical and literal terms, word problems and formula manipulation. Trigonometric topics are trigonometric ratios as applied to right triangles and computation of measures in oblique triangles, using the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines.
