机械工程技术
The 机械工程技术 program prepares graduates for entry-level employment in the Mechanical Engineering field. The skills acquired from this course of study allow the student to visualize objects in three dimensions, describe objects with manual and 电脑-援助ed Drafting (CAD) techniques, and apply Mechanical Engineering principles to design products, 工具, and equipment for a manufacturing-oriented industry. The program’s affiliations with industry are maintained through an Advisory Committee and the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME).
The student’s skills are developed with a comprehensive exposure to the concepts of orthographic projection, 切片, and isometric drawing with an emphasis on instrument drawing techniques. A thorough understanding of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) and a demonstrated proficiency with the latest CAD software complement these skills. Additional training in Fabrication Principles, 机械设计, 产品设计, and Manufacturing Processes provides a well-rounded experience with mechanical design and manufacturing technology.
The principles of Mechanical Engineering are mastered by studying the motion of mechanical objects and the underlying concepts required to understand how a machine functions or a manufacturing process is performed. By studying the practical aspects of structured programming, 参数化特征设计, 实体建模, the student gains the skills necessary to utilize the computer as a design tool. Further studies in Fluid Mechanics, 生产设计, 工程材料, 热力学与传热, 机械设计, and related engineering topics allow the student to build upon these concepts. Practical applications of these concepts are further realized as the student completes an internship project during the fourth semester.
进入工作场所后, the graduate can expect to assist engineers and scientists in the design and development of new products. 随着工作经验的积累, the graduate can expect to gain more design responsibility and thereby become a key member of an engineering team.
