of Courses
(Will Open in New Window)
Students will learn
how to specify suitable materials for a given application based on mechanical
properties determined from experimental data. The selection of alternative
metals, ceramics, polymers and composites, and the management of materials
properties to satisfy design requirements will be discussed. Students will see
how processing changes structure and how this change in structure affects the
mechanical properties of materials. Students will be expected to communicate
their findings in oral, written and visual form.

IME-100
Interdisciplinary Design and Manufacturing This introductory class exposes students to basic
design principles, the materials of manufacture, their structure and
properties, and methods of processing them into everyday products. A
laboratory experience provides hands-on experience in many of these
processes. A second laboratory provides experience in mechanical design and
electrical and computer manufacturing. |
IME-601 Fundamentals of
Manufacturing Engineering A general overview of the field of Manufacturing
Engineering is provided in this course. Topics introduced include: various
manufacturing processes, materials, quality assurance, quality control,
safety, ISO/QS 9000, process and facilities planning, project management, and
lean manufacturing. This course is delivered entirely via the internet. |
MECH-212 Mechanics of
Materials
The fundamental topics
of this course include: normal and shear stress and strain, Hooke.s law,
Poisson.s ratio, generalized Hooke.s law, axial translation, torsion of
circular bars, angle of twist, bending of beams, flexure formula, flexural
shear stress, beam deflections, combined stresses, transformation of stresses,
Mohr.s circle, statically indeterminate problems, columns. The use of basic
computational tools will be introduced at the end of several lecture modules
including: axial loading, torsional loading, and flexural loading. Homework and
design projects will be assigned.
FYE-101 First Year
Foundations
This course will
provide critical information on personal, academic and professional development
for first-year students. Class discussions will support student engagement in
the Kettering community, help make important connections for students to
develop a sense of self-governance, and set a foundation for both critical
thinking and reflective learning mindset. Students will learn to interact in
the academic and cooperative work environments successfully. Mentoring and
interaction with the instructors will provide support and guidance for students
to be fully integrated into Kettering University. Discussions and assignments
will enhance student transition and acclimation to Kettering University.
