Mechanical Engineering Technology Courses (MET)

* Denotes college transfer courses.

MET 213 Dynamics   3 SHC

This course includes the motion of rigid bodies and the forces that produce or change their motion. Rectilinear and curvilinear motion of bodies is covered as well as the concepts of work, power, energy, impulse, momentum and impact in relation to machine and mechanisms. Prerequisites: EGR 194, MAT 110, MAT 111, PHY 201, PHY 202 (3/0)

MET 214 Fluid Mechanics   3 SHC

This course is a study of the physical properties of fluids and includes hydrostatics, buoyancy, flow of incompressible fluids, orifices, venturis and nozzles. Prerequisite: MAT 183, PHY 201. Co-requisite: EGR 194 (3/0)

MET 222 Thermodynamics   4 SHC

This course includes the study of the thermodynamic principles of heat, work, non-flow and steady flow processes and cycles. The use of thermodynamic tables and charts is stressed. Prerequisites: EGR 194, MAT 110, MAT 111, MAT 130, PHY 201, PHY 202 (3/3)

MET 224 Hydraulics and Pneumatics   3 SHC

This course covers basic hydraulics and pneumatic principles and circuits. System components such as pumps, compressors, piping, valves, cylinders, fluid motors, accumulators and receivers are discussed. Prerequisite: MAT 110, MAT 111(2/3)

MET 231 Machine Design   4 SHC

This course covers the design and applications of machine elements such as shafts, couplings, springs, brakes, clutches, gears and bearings. It also covers the applications of principles of DC/AC, statics, strength of materials, engineering drawing and dynamics to the design of simple machines. Prerequisites: MAT 110, MAT 111 (3/3)

MET 240 Mechanical Senior Project   1 SHC

This course includes investigations and/or advanced study in an area of specialization approved by the instructor. (0/3)
