Kinematics This course covers the displacement, velocity and acceleration of four bar linkages, slider-cranks, crank-shapers and compound mechanisms using graphical and analytical methods. Also covered are cam displacement diagrams, pro fi les, gear trains and epicycles. Prerequisite(s): Complete MCDESG-104 and CIVIL-105 and MATH-116 or MATH 202. Completion of or currently enrolled in MCDESG-106. MCDESG-120 Credits:1 Basic AutoCAD Students are introduced to the use of AutoCAD software. The course is designed to be an introductory course enabling students to learn and apply computer-aided drafting (CAD) concepts relative to the preparation of construction drawings. MCDESG-124 Credits:2 SolidWorks 2 This course introduces advanced solid modeling techniques using SolidWorks software with an emphasis on mechanical design. Topics include advanced modeling techniques in sweeps, drafts, blends, shells, and surfaces, advanced assembly techniques, sheet metal parts, and weldments. Prerequisite(s): Complete MCDESG-114. MCDESG-125 Credits:3 Design Problems This is the capstone course for the Mechanical Design Technology associate degree. Students take the knowledge and skills acquired in other courses — Drafting, Statics, Strength of Materials, Machine Elements, Mechanisms — and apply them to a design project. Students select their own project and de fi ne the scope, the path of the completion of the projects, perform necessary computations and complete all working drawings. Prerequisite(s): Complete MCDESG-130, MCDESG-106 and MCDESG-114.Completion of or currently enrolled in MCDESG-116. MCDESG-130 Credits:3 Strength of Materials Students analyze internal stresses on linear members. The course focuses on axial, direct shear, torsional shear and bending stresses. These stresses are also combined using Mohr’s circle. Prerequisite(s): Complete MCDESG-160. MCDESG-133 Credits:2 Inventor1 This course introduces parametric solid modeling using Inventor Software. Course is focused on modeling skills for creating parts, assemblies, detail drawings. Rapid prototyping techniques are also introduced.

Inventor2 This course introduces advanced solid modeling techniques using Inventor software with a focus on design. Topics include advanced modeling techniques in sweeps, drafts, blends, shells, and surfaces, advanced assembly techniques, sheet metal parts, and weldments. Prerequisite(s): Complete MCDESG-133. MCDESG-135 Credits:2 PTC Creo (Pro/E)1 This course introduces parametric solid modeling using PTC Creo (Pro/E). Students are introduced to modeling skills for creating parts, assemblies, detailed drawings and rapid prototyping techniques. MCDESG-145 Credits:2 PTC Creo (Pro/E) 2 This course introduces advanced solid modeling techniques using PTC Creo (Pro/E) software with a focus on design. Topics include advanced modeling techniques in sweeps, drafts, blends, shells and surfaces, advanced assembly techniques, sheet metal parts, and weldments. Prerequisite(s): Complete MCDESG-135. MCDESG-160 Credits:3 Statics Statics is the study of forces on and in structures that are at rest. Forces, vectors, resultants, moments, couples, equilibrium, free-body diagrams, friction, centroids, and centers of gravity, and shear and moment diagrams are covered. Prerequisite(s): Completion of or currently enrolled in MATH-116 or MATH-202. MCDESG-162 Credits:2 manufacturing. Fundamentals include the properties and structure of materials for manufactured goods, such as ferrous and nonferrous metals and alloys, plastics, composites and ceramics, and the selection of materials for various functions. Casting and form casting processes, mold casting, powder metallurgy, and metal and nonmetal fabrication processes are included. MCDESG-163 Credits:2 Machining Processes This course introduces machining processes used in manufacturing such as turning, milling, grinding, CNC, water jet cutting, EDM, punch press, welding, drilling, reaming and tapping. The course emphasizes best practices in mechanical design and design for manufacturability. Labs are integral to the course and expose the student to the various manufacturing processes and practices. Engineering Materials This course emphasizes engineering materials and processes used in

Credits:1

Coordinate Blueprint Reading Instruction is given in the interpretation of CNC coordinate piece part drawings. Students translate standard engineering drawings into coordinate drawings used in the programming of CNC machine tools. Prerequisite(s): MDRAFT-386. MDRAFT-385 Credits:1 Machine Blueprint Reading 1 This course covers the basic principles essential for visualization and training in the interpretation of blueprints and freehand sketches of simpler machine parts. Emphasis is placed upon orthographic projection principles and pictorial drawing. MDRAFT-386 Credits:1 Machine Blueprint Reading 2 Instruction is o ff ered in the interpretation of blueprints that show job procedure methods and their relation to drafting. Attention is given to representations of common machine processes, special forms of dimensioning, sections and other advanced drafting and design principles. Prerequisite(s): MDRAFT-385. MEDAST – Medical Assistant (Department 509) MEDAST-301 Credits:2 Medical Assistant Administrative Procedures This course introduces students to o ffi ce management and business administration in the medical o ffi ce. The student learns to schedule appointments, perform fi ling, record keeping, telephone and reception duties, communicate e ff ectively with patients and other medical o ffi ce sta ff andkeep an inventory of supplies. Students apply introductory medical coding skills and managed care terminology. Prerequisite(s): Must be admitted to Medical Assistant program (31-509-1). MEDAST-302 Credits:3 Human Body in Health and Disease Focuses on diseases that are frequently fi rst diagnosed and treated in the medical o ffi ce setting. Students learn to recognize the causes, signs and symptoms of diseases of the major body systems as well as the diagnostic procedures, usual treatment, prognosis and prevention of common diseases. Prerequisite(s): Complete HEALTH-101. Must be admitted to the Medical Assistant program (31-509-1). MEDAST-303 Credits:2
