  OBJECTIVE OF COURSE:

Most engineers in industry are concerned with the production of a tangible product, such as a machine, an airplane, or a tool.  It is virtually impossible to find room in the modern engineering curriculum for courses in machine shop practices, foundry work, or plastic molding  -  but it is necessary for the student to learn something about these very practical subjects,  along with many  other related subjects,  and on a college level.

A schedule of the various topics to be covered each week is shown below:

*Answer not in book.

**Thermosetting & Thermoplastics only.

***Define Metrology, Tolerance, and Allowance.

****Define Sensitivity, Precision, and Accuracy.

Your grade in this course will be based on the following:

bullet

Tests(2), Home Work, Lab Reports, Performance in Lab, and Attendance

Note: If you don’t mind a little hard work and if you are the least bit curious on how things are made, you should find this course quite interesting. We cover a lot of material and your knowledge on how things are manufactured and designed should be increased considerably.
