Manufacturing Technology

  
  • ENY 101 - Intro to Energy Technologies

    Credits: 3
    Introduces the energy technologies in use today and those that are in the research stage as possible alternatives. Presents technologies including active solar heating, passive solar heating, wind energy systems, biomass, photovoltaics, co-generation, low and high head hydro, hydrogen, geothermal, power towers and energy storage systems. Three credits.
  
  • ENY 160 - Manufacturing & Energy

    Credits: 3
    Exposes the student to the principles of energy and power, and basic manufacturing. The student will learn various energy systems. This will include nonrenewable, renewable and inexhaustible. Power systems will also be covered. Manufacturing topics will include production planning, cost saving approaches, automation systems, and selecting appropriate materials. Three credits.
  
  • MTE 135 - Lean Six Sigma

    Credits: 4
    Exposes students to the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) improvement approach along with statistical and lean tools used in industry.  Four credits.
  
  • MTE 230 - Design for Manufacturability

    Credits: 3
    Provides students with an understanding on how to design a product for test, assembly, service, rebuild/reuse/recycle, postponement and several other product attributes. The student learns the role and development of design specifications, the importance and benefits of DFM, the design rules and their application, the design/manufacturing integration, the concept of designed-in quality, the role of design tolerances, the need for standard part use and the application and importance of concurrent engineering practices. In addition the student learns the application of tools CAD, CAM, CAB, PDMS and CIM in product development. Prerequisite(s): MTE 244. Three credits.
  
  • MTE 244 - Lean Manufacturing Prac/Proc

    Credits: 3
    Provides a study of the Toyota Production System (TPS), also known as Lean Manufacturing, Just-in-Time (JIT), Demand Flow, or Build-to-Order. The course covers the build-to-forecast batch-process method and compares it with TPS. The students study and develop in the lab the following TPS concepts/methods: customer expectations, seven fundamental wastes, plan-do-check-act cycle, kanban system and kanban types, material flow, group technology, manufacturing cells, point-of-use storage and support, and setup/changeover time reduction. This course also covers application of the following problem solving tools: flowchart, cause-and-effect diagram, check sheet, pareto chart, root cause analysis, statistical process control. Students investigate the basics of high-mix, low-volume manufacturing. Three credits.
  
  • MTE 247 - Strength of Materials

    Credits: 3
    Serves as an extension of Statics and includes the study of mechanical properties of materials and their limitations in engineering design by the study or stresses, strains, torsion forces, shear forces, and deflections placed upon these materials. Prerequisite(s): MAT 108 or highter. Three credits.
