Mechanical Engineering Technology
Offered Fall and Spring Semesters
This course covers externally applied forces and internally induced stresses in structural members and machine components. Materials selection and sizing components to meet requirements are included. Stress/strain relationships for parts under various loading conditions including combined stresses (Mohr’s) with application to beams, columns and mechanical components are covered.
Offered Spring and Summer Semesters
Pre- or Co-requisites (required): EGR 194 or EGR 260 and EGR 210 or EGR 275 (prerequisite preferred)
This course includes the motion of rigid bodies and the forces that produce or change their motion. Rectilinear and rotational motion is covered as well as the concepts of work, power, energy, impulse, momentum and impact in relation to machine and mechanisms.
