This course examines modeling, instrumentation, and measurement of electrical, mechanical, fluid, and thermal systems containing elements such as sensors and actuators used in feedback control systems. Analytical and experimental techniques of general importance in systems engineering are presented, including sensor utilization in feedback control. Engineering measurement fundamentals, including digital and frequency domain techniques noise and error analysis are covered. Closed-loop system analysis will include the use of proportional, integral, and derivative elements to control system response. Hands-on projects and laboratories are utilized to reinforce fundamental measurement and control system concepts. Software skills include the use of MATLAB and the graphical programming language, LABVIEW.

This is the Senior Design course that engages MMET students with open-ended, real-world problems. Emphasis is placed on teamwork, the design process, and project management tools addressing project scope, schedule, milestones, deliverables, risk, and cost. The course also focuses on developing oral, written and interpersonal communication skills. In this course, cross-disciplinary student teams develop their proposed mechanism or machine after identifying customer needs, and possible alternative concepts.

This is the Engineering Technology Common Capstone Project course where students address open-ended problems. Emphasis is placed on teamwork, the design process, and project management tools addressing project scope, schedule, milestones, deliverables, risk, and cost. The course also focuses on developing oral, written and interpersonal communication skills. In this course, cross-disciplinary student teams develop their proposed mechanism or machine after identifying customer needs, and possible alternative concepts. The mechanism or machine must include sufficiently complex mechanical and electrical subsystems, a control system, and a manufacturing system design. The subsystems of the design must be effectively integrated to achieve proper operation of the mechanism or machine. The final system design must be supported by sound engineering analyses and by engineering designs necessary to build a prototype. The design will be implemented through further analysis, testing, documentation, demonstration, and presentation of a fully functional prototype. This course is intended to be taken as a capstone design experience near the conclusion of the student's program of study.

This course will provide the student the principles and key skills of Lean Production and Global Supply Chain Operations being used by world class organizations today, and will focus on efficient production systems, waste elimination, value stream management, and effective supply chain practices. It collaboratively examines how these practices integrate to optimize the flow of products and services in a global economy.

This course focuses on the technology and application of robots and automation in the modern manufacturing environment. It will provide a thorough understanding of robotic hardware and software. The hardware aspects include robot configurations, drive mechanisms, power systems (hydraulic, pneumatic, and servo actuators), end-effectors and end-of-arm-tooling, sensors, control systems, machine vision, programming, safety, and integration. The software aspect deals with the various methods of textual and lead through programming commonly found on commercial robotic systems, as well as simulation systems offered by robot manufacturers. Digital Interfacing of robots with other automation components such as programmable logic controllers, computer-controlled machines, conveyors, is introduced. Robotic cell design and the socio-economic impact of robotics are also discussed. This course also has a strong experiential component that emphasizes hands-on training. This course may be cross-listed with RMET-685. Students may not take and receive credit for this course if they have already taken RMET-685. College-level programming experience in at least one computer language strongly recommended.
