Provides a fundamental understanding of the principles of materials science as they apply to typical engineering materials. Includes consideration of atomic bonding, crystal structures, phase transformations, and mechanical properties.
Introduces graphical communication of engineering design using traditional sketches and drawings coupled with computer modeling. An introduction to engineering drawings, dimensioning, and tolerances. Three dimensional modeling introduced using commercial software. Visualization and manipulation of existing models will be performed by generating drawings, building assemblies, and creating engineering drawings. Fee: $25
Provides hands-on experience with the standard methods of processing and evaluating typical engineering materials. Includes experiments in tensile testing, heat treatment, microscopic examination, strain hardening, and impact testing. Fee: $75
Hands-on experience to gain familiarity with common manufacturing and assembly processes for mechanical devices. Fee: $130
