Important points
To complete the program in two years, students must begin in a fall semester at the appropriate levels of math.
*CSC 1310-1330 are 5-week courses that represent a time commitment of 15 weeks equivalent to a full three credit hour course. With the appropriate mathematical background students may elect to take MAT 1600 and/or MAT 1710. Students with appropriate background may opt for PHY 1610 or PHY 1710. Students who plan to transfer should consider taking this course to prepare them for their transfer institution. MAT 1220 and MAT 1590 have a prerequisite of MAT 0600 or two years of high school algebra/geometry and placement exam.
Program Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the program, students will be able to:
Design for strength and deflection resistance the basic mechanical components of a system. Analyze a Thermodynamic, or Fluid system using the zeroth, first, and second laws of Thermodynamics. Participate in and contribute to a formal design/manufacturing cycle. Create industrially acceptable CAD documentation of a product design. Generate a correct machining process for the manual production of a basic mechanical component. Recognize the basic manufacturing processes, and be able to identify the strengths and weaknesses of each process. Write CNC programs to machine a basic part on a mill or lathe as is appropriate. Use computer software to present concepts, obtain, and analyze information.
