College of Applied Science & Technology 131 DET 2460 - Product Design Fundamentals Using 3D CAD Credits: (3) Typically taught: Fall [Full Sem] Spring [Full Sem] Product Design is the creative process of applying scientific and mathematical principles, experience, and judgment to the development of the solution of a technical product or system to meet a specific need. Turning ideas into design will incorporate problem identification, market research and brainstorming possible solutions, develop detailed part and assembly drawings, implementation, and evaluation. Sketching, gears/cams/shafts, advanced GD&T, tolerance build-up, tolerances for assemblies, introduction to rapid prototyping, and CNC design for manufacturing concepts will be presented. Advanced 3-D modeling software applications will include: library of parts, assembly constraints, motion constraints, drive constraints, and adaptive design. Three lectures per week. Three lectures per week. Prerequisite: DET 1160. DET 2650 - Product Design & Development Credits: (3) Typically taught: Spring [Full Sem] Uses CAD to lay out advanced production drawings and design. Uses the Machinery's Handbook, ANSI standards, geometric dimensioning and tolerances and manufacturer's reference materials. Supports the design and drafting required for senior project. Prerequisite: DET 2460. DET 2660 - Architectural Structural Design & Detailing Credits: (3) Typically taught: Spring [Full Sem] An analysis of the structural behavior of buildings and structures. A study of common construction material properties and their connections under varying load conditions including: wood, steel, and concrete. Both 2D and 3D CAD are used to create residential and commercial engineered construction documents. Prerequisite: MATH 1050 and DET 2000. DET 2830 - Directed Readings Credits: (1-3) Typically taught: Fall [Full Sem] Directed readings in Design Engineering Technology including product design and development and architectural areas. Must have department approval. May be repeated with a maximum of 6 credit hours. DET 2890 - Cooperative Work Experience Credits: (1-3) Typically taught: Fall [Full Sem] Open to all advanced students in Design Engineering Technology. Department approval required before registration. Provides academic credit for on-the-job experience. Grade and amount of credit will be determined by the department. May be repeated twice up to 3 credit hours. DET 2920 - Short Courses, Workshops, Institutes and Special Programs Credits: (1-4) Faculty approval required.

Prerequisite: DET 2000. DET 3100 - Tool Design Credits: (3) Typically taught: Fall [Full Sem] Tool design principals used for work piece control in manufacturing and production. Topics include responsibilities of a tool designer, the design process, economics of design, tooling materials, and tool drawings and specifications. Other topics will include jigs, fixtures, gages, dies and tooling required by specialized manufacturing processes. Prerequisite: MFET 1210, DET 2460, and MATH 1080 (or MATH 1050 and MATH 1060). DET 3300 - Applied Kinematic Analysis Credits: (3) Typically taught: Spring [Full Sem] Graphical representation of the motion of bodies without reference to the forces that cause the motion. Devices will be modeled and the limits of movement of components defined so that overall machine design can be animated and analyzed. Prerequisite: MFET 2300. DET 3400 - Rendering Basics (Photoshop/3ds Max) Credits: (3) Typically taught: Fall [Full Sem] This course introduces students to the basic tools and concepts used in Adobe Photoshop and 3ds Max. Photoshop instruction includes using layers, image editing using selection tools, filtering, and touching up a 3D render. 3ds Max instruction includes importing models, adding materials, lighting a scene, and creating a basic animation.
