Course Descriptions


 

Engineering Technology

  
  • ENTE 160 - Manufacturing Processes

    3 CR
    A hands-on introduction to the processes used to measure, form, fabricate, machine, and finish materials. Laboratory experience in a variety of machining and welding processes will take place at the Regional Manufacturing Technology Center in the Fort Custer Industrial Park. This course will be self-paced instruction through a series of learning modules. Please see your advisor for more details. [0-72-72] Lab Fee

  
  • ENTE 170 - Introduction to CAM and CNC

    3 CR
    An introduction to Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) processes and the use of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) programming for machining operations. Course topics will include safety, machinery used for CAM, machinery setup and operation, manual programing, creating geometry and tool paths using MasterCAM, and importing CAD data. [16-64-80] Lab Fee

    Prerequisites & Requisites: Take ENTE 160  with at least a grade of C.

  
  • ENTE 195 - Cooperative Work Experience

    3 CR
    A coordinated industrial work experience for selected students enrolled in the Drafting and Design, and Computer Engineering Technology curricula. Enrollees will be under the supervision of the College and the participating company. Written reports will be required, and a performance appraisal of the student will be made by the College and the employer. Students will meet as a class one hour per week.

    Additional Information: Department approval required.
  
  • ENTE 198 - Independent Study

    3 CR
    Courses may be repeated for additional credit. An opportunity for the interested student with a good scholastic record to pursue independently the study of some subject under the direction of a member(s) of the faculty. Subjects are chosen and arrangements made to suit the needs of individual students.

    Additional Information: Department approval required.
  
  • ENTE 215 - Material Science

    3 CR
    This course is intended to introduce the student to the materials used in engineering/industry and their properties. The types of material studied will include ferrous and nonferrous metals, plastics, rubber, ceramics, glass, and cement. In addition, material inspection, testing, and the effects of heat treatment and corrosion will be studied. Laboratory experiences will include the testing and inspection of materials. [48-16-64] Lab Fee

  
  • ENTE 220 - Statics and Strengths of Materials

    3 CR
    This course is a study of the force systems which act on an object at rest and the behavior of materials when placed under loads and restraints. Topics will include calculating centers of gravity and moments of inertia; predicting the effect of forces applied in tension, compression, shear, and torsion on riveted and welded joints; and developing bending moment diagrams for beams and columns. Laboratory experiences will focus on the methods of material testing. [48-16-64]

    Prerequisites & Requisites: Select 1 course from MATH 119 , MATH 132 , or MATH 140  with at least a grade of C.
