ME403 (Version: 2024 1) COURSE DETAILS


COURSE TITLE EFF YEAR EFF TERM DEPARTMENT CREDIT HOURS
ME403 MANUFACTURING/MACHINE COMP DSN 2024 1 Civil and Mechanical Engineering 3.5 (BS=0.0, ET=3.5, MA=0.0)
SCOPE
This course introduces manufacturing machines and machine component design. Students develop their understanding of the engineering science behind static and fatigue failure theories and use it to design or choose mechanical components such as fasteners, springs, bearings, gears, and shafts. Instructors and laboratory technicians train cadets on safe use of machines such as mills, lathes, grinders, belt sanders, drill presses, bandsaws, and welding equipment. The course culminates in a team design and manufacturing project that uses the technical engineering and hands-on skills learned throughout the semester.
LESSONS: 35 @ 55 min (2.500 Att/wk) LABS: 8 @ 120 min

COURSE TITLE EFF YEAR EFF TERM DEPARTMENT CREDIT HOURS
ME403 MANUFACTURING/MACHINE COMP DSN 2020 1 Civil and Mechanical Engineering 3.5 (BS=0.0, ET=3.5, MA=0.0)
SCOPE
This course is an introduction to mechanical manufacturing machines and machine component design. The first portion of the class is devoted to safe, hands-on experience with manufacturing machines and equipment. Cadets will have an opportunity to work on civil and mechanical manufacturing machines that are common in machine, woodworking, and sheet metal shops such as a mill, lathe, grinder, belt sander, drill press, and bandsaw. The course progresses to fundamental engineering science applied to machine components. These topics include load, stress, and strain analyses, impact, fatigue, and surface damage. The course progresses to the study of machine component design to include mechanical components such as fasteners, springs, bearings, gears, and shafts. Welding techniques and welding equipment are introduced. The course culminates in a team-oriented process, design, and manufacture of a mechanical engineering product using the techniques, tools, machines, and equipment that were developed and taught throughout the course.
LESSONS: 35 @ 55 min (2.500 Att/wk) LABS: 8 @ 120 min
