College of Applied Science & Technology 143 MFET 3830 - Reinforced Plastics/Advanced Composite Lecture/Lab Credits: (3) Typically taught: Spring [Full Sem] Polymer and reinforcement systems; material testing; mold design and development; laboratory involvement in reinforced plastics production processes. Prerequisite: MFET 3350/MFET 3350L and MFET 2860. MFET 3870 - Mold Design and Process Strategies Lecture/Lab Credits: (3) Typically taught: Fall [Full Sem] Overview of mold design and the development of strategies and techniques integrating CAD and CAE technologies for optimizing part quality, moldability, and productivity. Additional study on design and construction of various types of production molds that are used for processing plastics in final shape. Product design in relationship to molding techniques and various techniques and materials used to construct the molds are the major units of study. Prerequisite: MFET 2860. MFET 3890 - Cooperative Work Experience Credits: (1-3) Typically taught: Fall [Full Sem] Spring [Full Sem] Open to all third year students in Manufacturing Engineering Technology. A continuation of MFET 1890. MFET 3910 - Six Sigma Methods and Tools in Manufacturing Credits: (4) Typically taught: Spring [Full Sem] This is the third and final course in the Quality series for the MFET program. Six Sigma methods use statistical tools to bring about continual improvement of quality in manufactured goods and services and to document that positive change has occurred. These tools include: Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Measurement Systems Analysis, Control Charts, Multi-Vari and Multivariate charts, Process Capability Analysis, and Design of Experiments. Students will learn and apply these methods and tools through class participation and completion of required projects. Course will utilize Minitab and Microsoft Excel spreadsheet software. Prerequisite: MFET 3810. MFET 4050 - Detailed Scheduling and Planning I Credits: (2) Typically taught: Evening classes only. Techniques and practices of detailed scheduling and planning of inventory management including order review methodologies, policies and functions of inventory. Covers lot sizing, safety stock techniques, demand, and Just-in-Time as they relate to detailed scheduling and planning. Prerequisite: MFET 3510 or equivalent. (APICS series). MFET 4090 - Welding Power Sources Credits: (2) Typically taught: Fall [Full Sem] Study of power sources used to generate and control voltage and amperage for welding. Two lectures per week. Prerequisite: EET 1850. MFET 4150 - Execution and Control of Operations Credits: (2) Typically taught: Evening classes only. Focuses on prioritizing and sequencing work, executing work plans, implementing controls, reporting activity results, and evaluating and providing feedback on performance. Eval. Prerequisite: MFET 3510 or equivalent. (APICS Series). MFET 4200 - Manufacturing Processes Credits: (2) Typically taught: Evening classes only. Manufacturing processes define the methods that companies use in designing, producing, and delivering goods and services required by customers. The manufacturing processes provide the execution component to the other activities of the integrated manufacturing system. Beginning with customer requirements and needs, they design, build, operate, upgrade, and maintain a manufacturing process which is most supportive of and consistent with those needs and requirements. To achieve these objectives, manufacturing processes draw on three different but very interrelated subsystems: industrial facilities management, process design and development, and manufacturing. (APICS Series) MFET 4210 - Cost Estimating and Engineering Economics Credits: (2) Production cost structure, operation costing, breakeven analysis, make buy decision, and capital equipment justification. Computer aids are used to analyze cost data. Three lectures per week. Prerequisite: MATH 1080; NTM 1700. Co-Requisite: MFET 4610. MFET 4250 - Detailed Scheduling and Planning Credits: (2) Typically taught: Evening classes only. Detailed explanation of inventory management including order review methodologies, policies and functions of inventory. Covers material requirements planning (MRP) and other material planning and capacity requirements planning techniques. Includes concepts, principles, interfaces, desired characteristics, applications, and supplier relations. Prerequisite: MFET 3510 or equivalent. (APICS Series) MFET 4300 - Design of Experiments Credits: (2) A step-by-step description of procedures used to organize, conduct and evaluate industrial experiments. Emphasizes the usefulness of results and the decision criteria for choosing the proper design. Prerequisite: MFET 2410 Weber State University 2014-2015 Catalog
