For Credit Mechanical Engineering Technology Programs

Advanced Manufacturing Systems

Individuals who complete the ENGT 30000 ADVANCED MANUFACTURING course will understand the concepts of advanced manufacturing technologies, processes, and equipment. Covered topics include automation and process control, flexible manufacturing systems, and manufacturing using additive processes such as 3D printing. Students will learn hands-on programming and the operation of relevant equipment such as CNC machines and robots during the laboratory sessions.

Introduction to Robotics

Individuals who complete the ENGR 33333 INDUSTRIAL ROBOTICS course will gain an understanding of the classification, characteristics, and functions of industrial robots. This course covers basic safety precautions for working with robots. Laboratory time will be spent programming FANUC industrial robots and utilizing FANUC robot teach pendants. Students will have the opportunity to obtain a FANUC Robotics Handling Tool Operation and Programming Certificate of Completion.

Manufacturing Engineering Materials

Individuals who complete the MERT 12005 PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS course will gain an understanding of the structure and physical and mechanical properties of engineering materials, such as metals (ferrous and non-ferrous), polymers, ceramics, and composites. Students learn the mechanical behavior of materials under different types of loading and testing of mechanical properties including elasticity, yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, shear strength, bending strength and hardness. Heat treatment and the effects of the manufacturing processes on the material properties are also considered. Hands on experience will be gained through experiments using a tensile test machine, Rockwell and Brinell hardness testers and other material characterization equipment.

Additive Manufacturing (online Micro-Credential)

Individuals who earn the 3D Printing Micro-Credential will learn about the construction and use of 3D Printers and be involved in hands on experience in building one from a kit themselves through our MERT 21096 INDIVIDUAL INVESTIGATION IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY online course. In addition, an understanding of the plastics commonly used 3D Printers will be investigated in our ENGT 32101 POLYMERS I online course. Here a description of various polymers, thermoplastics and thermosets is investigated, as well as the processes used to produce plastic products. The course includes an outline of polymer chemistry including methods of testing and identification of plastics.
