Mechanical Engineering: Engineering Shop Experience

Introduction to the machine shop and fabrication lab environments; shop safety; proper use of essential shop tools; machining techniques. Prerequisite: ENGR 1020.

Prereqs enforced by system: ENGR 1020

The goal of this course is to introduce mechanical engineering students to essential shop machinery, tools and safety skills, and is a core requirement for mechanical engineering majors. Students will be introduced to essential laboratory technical and safety skills required for the use of machining and fabricating facilities within the College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences. Upon the successful completion of this course, engineering students will have the necessary training for the use of these facilities in the future courses - most notably the Senior Capstone Design course and extracurricular engineering clubs (AERO, Steel Bridge, etc.)

This course provides ME undergraduates the opportunity to participate in machine shop operation under the supervision of qualified machine shop personnel. By successfully completing this class, the student should have a mature understanding of standard machine shop tools and should be able to operate the essential manufacturing machines that may be needed for completion of engineering design projects. This class emphasizes the connection between the design process and feasibility of manufacturing.
