This course is designed to develop basic skills required for subsequent Technician and Technology courses for both Manufacturing and Design. 40% of the course is devoted to Sketching and Blueprint Reading. The remaining 60% will be strictly Inventor.
CADD-1054 - Eng. Drawing & BP Reading
Basic Engineering Sketching and Blueprint Reading. This course is designed to developbasic skills required for Mechanical Engineering Technician.
CADD-1055 - CADD Fundamentals
This course is designed to develop basic skills in using AutoCad (2D) and Inventor (3D) softwareto produce engineering drawings for both design and manufacture of mechanical components.
COMM-3049 - Communications for Technology
This course will develop students' skills inpreparing and writing short and medium-sizedproject-based reports. Students will also developtheir presentation skills.
ELEC-1089 - Electrical-Electronic Fundamentals
This course is designed to provide the Manufacturing student with the necessary electrical fundamentals to understand and be able to communicate effectively, in electrical terminology, with specialists in the electrical industry.
ENGR-1018 - Engineering Design I
This course is an introduction to assembly drawings, weldment drawings, casting drawings and auxiliary views. Dimensioning and tolerancing, threads and fasteners and product modification will also be included. Ferrous metals and plastics is a research taught module.
ENGR-3010 - Engineering Design 2
This course emphasizes machine design in the following areas - linkage and cam design, couplings, and power transmission.
MACH-1124 - Machining 1
This course will provide an outline of the basic machining processes with an emphasis on machine setup and tooling. Calculations for speed, feed rate, machining times and production cost will present an overall view of production machining.
MATH-1155 - Math 1
As the first of two pre-calculus mathematics courses, content covered includes treatmentof data, fundamental algebra, trigonometry and geometry.
MATH-3048 - Mathematics 2
Topics include: mensuration with plane geometric figures and three-dimensional solids, polar coordinates, polar curves, exponents, radicals, logarithms, linear equations, systems of linear equations and associated word problems.
MATS-1008 - Ferrous Metallurgy
Introductory course in Engineering Materials. The basic nature of metals, is explained. Steel is covered as is steel terminology and specifications. The heat treatment of steel is explained. Laboratory work is an important part of the course and will cover introductory metallography, tensile testing, hardness testing, impact testing, heat treating and collection of data. Writing of laboratory reports is an integral part of this course.
MECH-1004 - SPC and Metrology
This introductory course covers both conventional measuring systems and co-ordinate measuring machines using STATISTICAL PROCESS CONTROL (SPC) tools. Through theory and practice, statistical analysis and measurement techniques will further develop correct judgment in quality control. Emphasis is given to reliable inspection reports/recommendations either orally or in written form.
MECH-3012 - Applied Mechanics
A second course in applied mechanics covering trusses, frames, friction, second moment of area, moment of inertia, translational motion, curvi- linear motion, rotational motion, work power, and energy.
MECH-3015 - Strength of Materials
This course emphasizes strength of materials in the following areas: Poisson's Ratio; thin walled pressure vessels; bolted, riveted and welded connections; stress concentrations, fatigue; work, energy and impact; combined loads and stresses.
MECH-3027 - Industrial Hydraulics Pnuematics & PLCS
Students will be introduced to the basic principles of hydraulics and pneumatics including power, pressure, and flow. The operational characteristics of pumps, valves, and actuators will be described and explained. Students will design, build, and test simple hydraulic/pneumatic circuits. The student will become familiar with different methods of circuit control including direct control, electrical control and programmable logic controllers (PLC).
MECH-5004 - Engineering Design 3
This course emphasizes machine design in four basic areas -- geartrains, bearings, springs and brakes and clutches. Students will work in teams to design, detail and build a simple machine. All design projects are to be drawn using AutoCad or Inventor software.
MECH-5012 - Statics & Strength of Materials
This is an introductory course in statics and strength of materials. It includes coverage of basic trigonometry and an introduction to computer spreadsheets (Excel).
METH-1002 - Technology in Industry
Significant manufacturing processes-both conventional and new are studied in this course; foundry processes, hard mould casting, powder metallurgy, primary and secondary metalworking processes and manufacturing with plastics, ceramics and composite materials. It is intended to give an overview of manufacturing methods and explain the behaviour of materials and the mechanisms involved in their fabrication.
PSYC-1027 - Human Relations
This course is intended as an overview of human relations skills in industry. In contrast to the technical skills which are learned in other courses, the successful student of Human Relations (PSYC1027) will become familiar with the art and practice of using systematic knowledge about human behaviour to achieve organizational and personal objectives.
WELD-1040 - Welding Technology 1
WELD-1040 is designed to provide both theoretical and practical knowledge in: welding shop safety, shielded metal arc welding, gas metal arc welding, gas tungstenarc welding, oxy-fuel and plasma cutting.
WRIT-1039 - Reason & Writing 1-Technology
This course will introduce technology students to essential principles of reading, writing, and reasoning at the postsecondary level. Students will identify, summarize, analyze, and evaluate multiple short readings and write persuasive response essays to develop their vocabulary, comprehension, grammar, and critical thinking. This course will also introduce students to selected issues and terms in technology.
