Print and Computer Based Course

 

 
Course Outline:
The Mechanical Engineering Technology curriculum provides trainees with the study materials that enables them to perform the tasks associated with the profession of a Mechanical Engineer. This print-based curriculum has been developed to meet the subject requirements of an organization’s skills program. When combined with on-the-job training, this program will provide trainees with the comprehensive skills and knowledge they will need to perform in this technical area. The Mechanical Engineering Technology program provides comprehensive training in mathematics, the basic sciences, manufacturing processes, mechanical design and instrumentation, and process control systems. Optional course outlines are assembled focusing on the generation, transmission, and utilization of mechanical power. This curriculum is appropriate for people who require the technical proficiency for an engineering position in a manufacturing organization. Other positions that would benefit from this training are Plant Engineer, Production Manager, and Machine / Tool Designer. Prior to starting this program, it is essential that the person possess a high school degree or the GED Equivalency Certificate. Upon completion of this program, students will be able to:
  • Describe the principles of basic science, chemistry, and engineering-mechanics.
  • Explain the composition of materials and metals and how they are effected by common scientific and engineering applications used in manufacturing.
  • Understand the principles of fluid power and hydraulics, the common types of components, how they operate and how these systems can be troubleshot and maintained.
  • Incorporate the principles and components that comprise a mechanical power transmission system, how they operate, and how they can be maintained in everyday work experiences.
  • Describe the principles of automatic process control systems and how the various control instruments function.
  • Learn how mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic components used in control systems measure parameters and convert these measurements into useful data or appropriate control system responses.

    Special Note:
    The Center for Degree Studies (CDS) of Education Direct offers an Associate in Specialized Technology (AST) educational degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology. This program requires two years or more of study including a laboratory training session. Many of the courses listed in the following skills curricula are also covered in the CDS program. For more information regarding CDS, refer to Resource 12 of the Skills Development Guide or contact your Education Direct Training Consultant.
