  • Elements of Metallurgy/Engineering materials

Introduction to materials science and engineering, metallurgical concepts, metallurgical testing, phase diagram studies, heat treating concepts, ferrous and nonferrous systems.

  • Manufacturing Processes

Manufacturing processes for producing metal, plastic, and ceramic items. Primary emphasis is placed on machine tool processes.

  • Statics

Introduction and vectors, problem solving, force vectors, particle equilibrium, moments/couples, equivalent systems, distributed loads/FBDs, rigid body equilibrium, trusses, frames and machines, 3-D equilibrium, friction, centroids and center of gravity, and moments of inertia.
