18 courses with the subject ENT, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
ENT 115Introduction to Engineering3
Designed to introduce first-year engineering students to the engineering profession and provide an overview of the various engineering disciplines. Students will complete various projects and activities that will include engineering analysis, the design process and evaluation, computer aided design, graphical design and working in a team environment. Visits to local industries will illustrate the various engineering disciplines and the possible career paths available.
A practical course designed to provide students with hands-on experience in technical drawing and computer aided design (CAD) methodologies. Students will apply 2D drawing techniques including orthographic projections (primary, section, and auxiliary views). Dimensioning and tolerancing concepts of technical designs are also covered. Students will acquire hands-on experience developing 3D solid models based on features of parametrically constrained sketches, as well as methods of assembly
An introduction to the world of electricity and electronics. This course is designed for the student with no previous electrical background. It covers circuit theory, electronic components and simple applications. In the laboratory students will build circuits and use electronic instruments to analyze the circuits.
An introduction to the metalworking processes including the setup and operation of metalworking tools. Topics covered will be manufacturing theory, tool geometry, blueprint reading, precision measurements, gages and inspection.
This course provides an overview of Robotics technology applied to modern manufacturing challenges. Programing skills, concepts of spatial positioning, motion categories and interfacing of robots to external tooling are taught with both a theoretical and practical approach. Example applications surveyed include joining techniques, polymer processing as well as modern manufacturing software simulations. Personnel and equipment safety practices and occupational hazards are consistently reviewed through the course.
Applications of the personal computer to various engineering problems, including mathematical applications such as graphing techniques and statistical analysis, and engineering applications such as computer assisted design and electrical circuit analysis. Basic programing skills will be introduced.
A first course in electrical circuit theory for engineering students. Included are topics such as DC circuit theory, Kirchoff's Laws, Thevenin's and Norton's equivalents, super position, transient circuit analysis, RLC circuits and damping, sinusoidal analysis, complex forcing functions, phasor analysis, and power in AC circuits. Students use a variety of electronic equipment in a laboratory setting. Correlation between analytical and experimental results will be emphasized.
A three-dimensional study of static mechanical force systems including resultants, centroids and centers of gravity, equilibrium, friction, and moments of inertia. Vector algebra is employed.
A mathematical study of stresses and deflections of mechanical structures under axial, torsional, and flexural loading. Posts, shafts, beams, columns, and other mechanical shapes are studied, including statically indeterminate cases.
ENT 225Introduction to Computer Aided Manufacturing3
An experiential course in numerical control programming techniques. Concepts of G-code programming and work holding are covered. Students will generate 3-D parts on CAM software and analyze the tool paths required for various types of machining operations. Programs will be processed to produce EIA-NC code which will then be loaded into a CNC machine to manufacture a part. Students will also learn how to export CAD files to CAM software. Like in previous courses emphasis will be given to safety practices and workflow organization and maintenance procedures.
A study of basic networks involved in digital computers. Students with little electronics background should be able to complete this course with some additional study. Course takes up combinational and sequential logic based on Boolean principles. It covers most elements of logic systems in a class and laboratory environment. The course ends with an introduction to the microprocessor.
A study of digital systems and building blocks of a modern microprocessor. Fundamentals of digital systems are introduced. Emphasis is on microprocessor-based hardware principles, including microprocessor programing and interfacing. High level language as well as the underlying machine code are taught with a practical approach. A survey of larger computer systems and modern trends like SOCs (Systems On a Chip) and FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) will also be covered.
Introduction to fundamental concepts of Statics such as force system analysis & equilibrium as well as mechanic subjects such as Stress and Strain, and basic mechanical properties of materials. The course is based on understanding underlying practical concepts instead of the classic engineering mechanical calculations approach .
Hydraulic and pneumatic principles, components, and systems. Course includes theory of circuit operation, flow, valving, transducers, system repair and troubleshooting, and safety concerns with hydraulic and pneumatic equipment.
An introduction to industrial controls and automation that surveys electrical, electronic (digital and analog), and fluid power control systems. The course includes feedback loops, process control, control logic, and transducers. Labs will incorporate programmable controllers, pneumatic and hydraulic systems, motors and and controllers, and robotic manipulators. Semester project required.
ENT 275Independent Study in Engineering Technology I1
For students with a foundation in the field. Student and instructor determine the project to be worked on and the number of credits to be earned. Laboratory or field work, literature search, and written or oral reports may be involved. Regularly scheduled meetings between student and instructor are required. Approval of the department chair or program advisor required.
