Dual Credit Courses
This course is an introduction to the graphic language used to communicate design ideas using CAD. Topics include sketching, multi-view drawings, auxiliary views, working drawings, dimensioning practices, and section views.
This course is an introduction to computer programming using the "C" language. The emphasis is on structured programming principles, and understanding the basic concepts that apply to engineering problems. Among topics covered in this course are: problem solving using top down design, using flowcharts to explain the program logic, selection structure, repetition structure, bitwise operations, arrays, pointers, strings, passing arguments, and sequential files.
This course introduces fundamental software development concepts common to most programming languages. Topics include: problem solving and algorithm development, debugging, programming standards, variable, data types, operators, decisions, repetitive structures, modularity, array, user interface construction, software testing and debugging. A broad range of examples will be used throughout the course to show how each programming concept applies to real life problems.
This course introduces information systems development. Topics include types of information systems, system development, database management systems, and problem solving. Students will read/create UML, ERD, and data flow diagrams to model information system objects, data, processes, and logic. Labs emphasize modeling and SQL/QBE querying to prepare students for later systems, programming, and database classes. Given user requirements students will design, construct, and test a personal computer information system. PC literacy required.
This course introduces School of Engineering Technology students to the resources and skills needed to define and solve technical problems, which will help them be successful in their studies and ultimately in their careers. Instruction is given in analytical and computational problem-solving techniques. The application of software for analysis and problem solving is emphasized. Foundational principles for electrical, industrial, manufacturing, and mechanical engineering technology are studied. Teamwork, global and societal concerns, and professional ethics are integrated into course.
This course is an introduction to supply chain management technology. Topics include supply chain functions including how to organize a supply chain, supply chain strategy, supply chain process mapping, and use of supply chain technologies, analysis, and performance measurements
The design, evaluation, and documentation of engineering specifications required of manufacturability and assembly are introduced. Emphasis is on CAD-based details, assemblies, design layouts, equipment installations, and related industrial practices.
An overview of structures, properties, processing and applications of metals and ceramics commonly used in industry is presented. Problem solving skills are developed in the areas of materials selection, evaluation, measurement, and testing.
An overview of structures, properties, processing and applications of polymers, composites, laminates, biomaterials, green materials, nanomaterials, and pharmaceuticals commonly used in industry is presented. Problem solving skills are developed in the areas of material selection, evaluation, measurement, and testing. This course serves as the gateway for the MET and MFET programs.
Student will engage in critical analysis of real-world problems and global challenges. They will demonstrate the ability to recognize opportunity and to take initiative in developing solutions applying the principles of human centered design. Students will be able to communicate effectively and to work well on teams. Problems and solutions will be examined from societal, cultural, and ethical perspectives.
A survey of individual and organizational behavioral concepts and principles that provide a foundation for leadership in technology organizations. The focus will be toward the understanding of behaviors necessary for effective technology leadership, including concepts of work in a technology-rich environment.
