26 courses with the subject MET, 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.
MET 100Graphical Communication3.0

Introduces manufacturing and its managed activities: research and development, production, marketing, industrial relations, and finance. Includes laboratory work in organization, staffing, and operating a model manufacturing enterprise.
Covers variables, procedures, and processes of total quality control within the manufacturing industries. Includes instrumentation for material evaluation, attribute inspection and sampling, supervising for organizational quality improvements, and statistical control. Emphasizes directed laboratory experiences.
Provides a comprehensive technical introduction to robotics and automation in manufacturing. Topics include flow line production, material handling, group technology, and flexible and mechatronics-integrated manufacturing.
Covers the fundamentals of hydraulic/pneumatic systems with an emphasis on applications of Bernoulli's equation. Topics include component types and designs, hydraulic/pneumatic circuit analysis and design of hydraulic/pneumatic systems.
Applications of statics and strength of materials with applications to problems in manufacturing. A combined statics and strength of materials course with applications in manufacturing, including: design of bolted connections, simple structures, and beam design.
This course is designed to introduce students to the concepts of engineering design. Students will develop a thorough understanding of the design process through collaboratively thinking. This course will allow students to apply iterative design process in creating a new product while integrating the marketing, design, and manufacturing functions of the firm. Students will explore design challenges and employ the product design and development process to design a product to meet the challenge.
Covers the theory and practice of industry's parts and assembly drawings with a specialization in tolerance and geometric dimensioning. Discusses industrial procedures and standards.
Covers the characteristics of hazardous substances and wastes, medical surveillance for plant personnel, toxicology, respirators and protective clothing, environmental direct reading indicators, decontamination procedures, and safe working practices.
Provides an overview of the key engineering standards, laws, and regulations governing the construction of commercial vessels in the United States and methods of complying with these requirements. Focuses on the ship manufacturing process and the installation and testing of ship systems.
Discusses theory and application of computer numerical control machines in the manufacturing environment. The laboratory focuses on the programming and operation of CNC machine tools.
MET 321Changing World of 3D Printing and Rapid Prototyping3.0
This course is an introduction and survey of rapid-prototyping, especially centered on the advent, impact, and utility of 3D printers and supporting digital technology: computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software. The course will cover both the concepts and practice of 3D printing and prototyping, emphasizing hands-on work developing computer-based design models (“drawings”) and fabricating prototypes (“parts”) using current tools for desktop manufacturing including 3D printers, laser cutters, desktop engravers, and micromolding and printing. With this knowledge and skill set, students will be able to design, develop and demonstrate a working product suitable for commercialization.
One of the final steps in creating a marketable product is the manufacturing of the components. Throughout the design process, engineers must fully understand a variety of processes in which parts can be produced and assembled. Selecting a manufacturing method and ensuring the parts are capable of production is a difficult but critical part of the product design process. This course will allow students to apply the theory of design for manufacturing (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA) to the overall design process. Topics include practical techniques for selection of materials and processes, design considerations for production, manual assembly and automated assembly, and Boothroyd and Dewhurst methods. Students review case studies and analyze production assemblies.
Covers design of tools and fixtures for manufacturing, including general-purpose work holders, modular and dedicated fixtures, jigs, fixturing principles, degree of freedom, locating and clamping components, wire frame and solid modeling, and 3d to 2D conversion. Students design models of fixtures.
Covers three-dimensional design with emphasis on manufacturing and industrial standards. Includes computer-aided-manufacturing using solid, surface, and wire-frame models.
Covers a systematic understanding of the operations, applications, and planning of manufacturing processes. Discusses quantitative evaluations of processing parameters influencing product quality.
Covers information management in manufacturing. Topics include cost estimation and control, manufacturing resources planning (MRP), just-in-time (JIT), production and inventory controls, management information systems (MIS), supply chain management (SCM), and other advanced information management technology.
Covers life cycle analysis, pollution prevention, recycling, and lean manufacturing, including characteristics of hazardous substances and wastes, medical surveillance for plant personnel, toxicology, respirators and protective, environmental direct reading indicators, decontamination procedures and safe working practices for MFG.
This course covers applied topics related to the integration of computer, CNC machines, and internet-based automation technologies in modern manufacturing.
This course constitutes the first course of a three-quarter course sequence. It aims to train the students in identifying projects of relevance to the society, in planning and scheduling a solution, and in entrepreneurial activities that may result from the project. The course is also intended to cover an industrial project starting from the proposal writing and conceptual design to final steps. This course is focused on proposal writing.
This course constitutes the second course of a three-quarter course sequence and continues MET 421. It aims to train the students in maintaining the progress of a project on schedule, including resolving any team conflicts. It also trains them how to prepare oral, and submit written progress reports. The students supply summary reports to his/her advisor. This course is focused on following standard design steps from the conceptual to final design.
This is the final installment of a 3 course sequence. The course objective is to train students in a project from the initial conceptual design stage to the preliminary and the final design completion, how to conduct design reviews, and how to document and present findings, design concepts, and conclusion in both oral and written formats. Students are also required to build a working prototype of their final design concept and present it during final presentation of the project.
