Mechanical Engineering (MEGT)

MEGT1010. Manufacturing Processes. (3 Credits)

This course introduces industrial manufacturing processes that employ processes for material shaping, joining, machining and assembly to the student. Topics include: casting, shaping and molding of metals, ceramics and polymers; particulate processing of metals and ceramics, metal forming, machining, sheet metal working, joining and assembling, surface treatment, and manufacturing design considerations. Emphasis is provided on raw materials, quality, and costs of finished products. The course includes lab exercises that demonstrate the application of the topics covered in actual manufacturing processes.

MEGT2020. Engineering Materials. (4 Credits)

This course introduces the fundamentals of metallurgy and engineering material science. Topics include: chemical, physical and mechanical properties of materials, material limitations, metallurgy, material structures and applications, material extraction processing techniques, material treating and treatments, and material testing. Emphasis is provided on material strength, design considerations and the effects of heat treatment, creep and fatigue. The course includes performance lab exercises that demonstrate the applications of the topics covered such as; material testing (i.e. tensile and hardness testing), material treatment (i.e. heat treatment), and inspection (i.e. NDE).

MEGT2030. Statics. (3 Credits)

This course introduces the student to the study of forces acting on objects and their effects on a body at rest or at constant velocity. Static principles are applied in analyzing structural systems. Topics include: vectors, resultants, equilibrium of force systems, free body diagrams (FBD), analysis of trusses and frames, distributed loading and geometric properties of areas. Emphasis is placed on bodies at rest in both 2 dimensions and 3 dimensions.

MEGT2080. Strength of Materials. (4 Credits)

This course studies the behavior of materials when subjected to different loadings and constraints. Topics include: stress, strain, material properties, properties of cross sectional areas, bending and buckling of members, beam and column analysis, torsion and combined loading. Emphasis is provided on predicting material behavior in various mechanical applications and utilizing fundamental analysis techniques to determine stress in solids under tension, compression, torsion and/or shear. The course includes hands on laboratory exercises such as evaluating beam deflection and the thermal expansion of various metals.
