Duration - 13 weeks
Lectures - 5 hours/week = 65 hours total
MECH 1100 (Mechanics)
This course provides the fundamental concepts required for
the analysis of basic engineering problems and builds on the
principles introduced in previous physics courses. Students are
introduced to elements of statics and dynamics appropriate for a
first course for technicians studying marine engineering.
Analysis of Force Systems; Principal of Moments; Equilibrium;
Analysis of Trusses and Machines; Friction; Centroids, Moments
of Area, and Moments of Inertia; Kinematics of Rigid Bodies;
Plane Motion; Kinetics of Rigid Bodies; Work, Power, and
Energy; and Simple Machines
Prerequisites - MATH 1100 (Pre-Calculus) or MATH 1102; PHYS
1100 (Physics) or PHYS 1101 (Physics)
Duration - 13 weeks
Lectures - 4 hours/week
Labs - 2 hours/week every second week for 6 labs = 12 hours
MECH 1101 (Mechanics)
This course provides the fundamental concepts required for
the analysis of basic engineering problems and builds on the
principles introduced in previous physics courses. Students are
introduced to elements of statics and dynamics appropriate for a
first course for electro-mechanical technicians.
(Statics) - Analysis of Force Systems; Principal of Moments;
Equilibrium; Friction; (Dynamics) - Kinematics of Rigid Bodies;
Plane Motion; Kinetics of Rigid Bodies; Work, Power, and
Energy; Simple Machines
Prerequisites - MATH 1102 (Pre-Calculus) or MATH 1101
(Introduction to Calculus); PHYS 1100 (Physics)
Duration - 13 weeks
Lectures - 4 hours/week
Laboratories - 2 hours/2 week period
MECH 2100 (Machine Design)
This course is an introduction to the primary considerations in
the design of machines as they relate to each other, to their
operators and to the environment. Machines will be seen as
converters of energy and as the extension of human power. The
composition and characteristics of machines will be presented
and the underlying principles of mechanics of machines and
strength of materials demonstrated, thus enabling the student
to design machinery supplemented by practical manufacturing
exposure and experience.
Nature and Composition of Machines; The Many Aspects of
Machine Design; Design for Strength; Belt Drives and Band
Brakes; Friction Clutches; Gear Trains; Cam Design; Detachable
Fasteners; Springs
Prerequisites - MECH 1101 (Mechanics) or MECH 1100
(Mechanics); MTPR 2101 (Strength of Materials)
Duration - 13 weeks
Lectures - 3 hours/week
Laboratories - 2 hours/week
