9 courses with the subject ETME, 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.
ETME 1111CAD Modeling I. (3) Introduces the concepts of technical
drawing and its relationship to the mechanical design process using a feature-based parametric modeler such as SolidWorks. Topics include: 2026-2027 UNC CHARLOTTE UNDERGRADUATE CATALOG sketching, orthographic projections, pictorial views, dimensioning techniques, and introduction to Computer-Aided Design (CAD). ETME 1112. CAD Modeling II. (3) Prerequisite(s): ETME 1111 with grade of C or above. A continuation of ETME 1111. Introduces the student to advanced modeling techniques employed in Computer-Aided-Drawing (CAD). Topics include: the use of linked features in drawings, traditional and geometric tolerancing, custom templates, assemblies, and basic animation.
ETME 2100Sophomore Design Practicum. (2) Prerequisite(s ETGR
1101 or ETGR 1201 with grade of C or above; and ETME 1112 with grade of C or above; and Engineering major or minor. Corequisite(s): ETME 2100L. A Sophomore-level design practicum focused on a simple, defined mechanical design challenge. Projects are completed in teams and introduce students to the design process, project management, machine shop fabrication techniques, memo style report writing and final project demonstrations. Also reinforces topics learned in previous courses such as CAD modeling, documentation generation (drawings), and analytical modeling.
Prerequisite(s): and Engineering major or minor. Corequisite(s): ETME 2100. A Sophomore-level design practicum focused on a simple, defined mechanical design challenge. Projects are completed individually and introduce students to the design process, project management, machine shop fabrication techniques, memo style report writing and final project demonstrations. Also reinforces topics learned in previous courses such as CAD modeling, documentation generation (drawings), and analytical modeling. ETME 2102. Mechanisms. (3) Prerequisite(s): ETME 1111 with grade of C or above; MATH 1121 or MATH 1241 with grade of C or above; and PHYS 1101 or PHYS 2101 with grade of C or above; and Engineering major or minor. Plane motion and devices used to generate plane motion. Topics include: analysis of displacement, velocity, acceleration, gears, cams, and other mechanical systems.
Prerequisite(s): ETGR 1101 with grade of C or above, and Engineering major or minor. Presents a fusion of material science and the applied processes used to form engineering materials into useful components or assemblies. This course is part 1 of a two-segment series. It focuses on metallic materials with crystalline structure, and the specific processes used to form and finish these materials. Practical instruction in theory of machine tool operation, casting, rolling and joining is presented. Alloying, heat treatment, corrosion and operational environment appropriate for the subject materials in discussed.
Prerequisite(s): ETME 2130, and Engineering major or minor. This course is part 2 of a two-segment series. Focuses on non-metallic materials, polymer-based materials, ceramics, composite materials, and materials with amorphous atomic structure. A fusion of material science and the applied processes used to form the subject engineering materials into useful components or assemblies is presented. Molding autoclaving, polymer cross-linking, and operational environment appropriate for the subject materials are discussed. Manufacturing quality systems are also explored. Course Descriptions | 681
ETME 3100LJunior Design Practicum Laboratory. (1) Prerequisite(s)
Engineering major or minor. Corequisite(s): ETME 3100. A Junior-level design practicum focused on a more complex, but defined, thermo-fluids and energy system based design challenge. Projects are completed in teams (3 to 4) and introduce students to group project dynamics, advanced machine shop techniques, data acquisition and analysis. Also reinforces topics learned in previous courses such as the design process, project management, formal report style writing, math modeling (Excel, MATLAB, MathCad and/or EES), documentation generation (Drawings + Procedure), final project demonstrations, and analytical modeling. Meets for one 3-hour laboratory session each week. ETME 3113. Dynamics. (3) Prerequisite(s): ETGR 2101 with grade of C or above, and Engineering major or minor.
