4 courses with the subject MDES, 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.
Graphical and mathematical analysis of relative motions in mechanisms. Velocities and accelerations in linkages, crank mechanisms, cams, gears, and gear trains are discussed. The student studies the principles of dynamics as applied to linear and angular motions including Newton’s Laws of Motion and Work and Energy. A course fee is required. Prerequisite: GTEC 201 and CAD 154 with grades of C or higher.
Covers the design of machine elements including levers, clutches, springs, gears, shafts, bearings, and housings. Numerous failure analysis techniques are applied to practical problems based on the type of load and material used. Students also design several mechanical devices and use the computer to solve problems. A course fee is required. Prerequisite: CVTE 208 with a grade of C or higher, or permission of the Discipline Lead.
Elementary theory of fluid flow, measurement of flow, and fluid machinery. Primary emphasis is on the topics of fluid statics, flow of fluids in pipes and open channels, flow measurement, and forces developed by fluids in motion. Laboratory work demonstrates principles and applications of fluid mechanics. The computer is used in solving problems. A course fee is required. Prerequisite: GTEC 201 with a grade of C or higher.
