Currently Teaching
MCET-101
Fundamentals of Engineering
3 Credits
Students will apply engineering problem solving methods used in industry to complete projects involving engineering topics such as mechanics, circuits, robotics, and thermodynamics. Software tools are used to model their designs, perform design calculations, collect and analyze data. Finally, students will present their work professionally using both written and oral communication software. The goal of the class is to have students become familiar with the many aspects of mechanical engineering through hands on, experiential learning and prepares them to work professionally and effectively in a team setting both in college and in industry.
MCET-211
Characterization of Non-Metallic Materials Lab
1 Credits
This course will consist of laboratory experiences which focus on property characterization of the properties of polymeric materials.
MCET-580
Plastics Manufacturing Technology
3 Credits
The course introduces fundamentals in plastic materials and processing technology to manufacture various plastic products in plastics industry. The course emphasizes new materials and process selections for engineering applications and design. Students may not take and receive credit for this course if they have already taken MCET-680.
MCET-583
Plastics Product Design
3 Credits
The study of design guidelines for plastic products based on the interrelationships between design, the material selected, the manufacturing process selected, and the tooling to be used. Students may not take and receive credit for this course if they have already taken MCET-683.
MCET-680
Plastics Manufacturing Technology
3 Credits
The course studies plastic materials and processing technology to manufacture various plastic products in plastics industry. The course emphasizes new materials, such as bio-degradable, environmentally friendly polymers, and process selections for engineering applications and design. Students may not take and receive credit for this course if they have already taken and received credit for MCET-580.
MCET-683
Plastics Product Design
3 Credits
The study of design guidelines for plastic products based on the interrelationships between design, the material selected, the manufacturing process selected, and the tooling to be used. Students will research the feasibility of using polymeric materials to design a part or assembly not traditionally manufactured using plastics. Students may receive credit for only one course: MCET-583 or MCET-683
