MFET 5400. Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) (5) Su CIM is a course that applies principles of prototyping, robotics, and automation. It builds on the solid modeling skills devdoped in Introduction to Engineering Design. Students use computer- controlled equipment to solve problems by constructing models of their three-dimensional designs. Students are also introduced to the fundamentals of robotics and to how this equipment is used in an automated environment. Students evaluate their design solutions using various techniques and modifications before they produce the prototype. The course meets for a total of 75 hours over a two-week period and focuses on the content as well as teaching methods appropriate for the course. This course is designed specifically and only for current high school teachers who have been assigned by their schools and districts to teach the Projed Lead the Way courses in their respective schools. These courses carry graduate credit for those teachers who would use them as part of a master's degree program or for recertification. MFET 5500. Engineering Design and Development (EDD) (5) Su In this course, students work on a team with one or two others to design and construd the solution to an engineering problem. The problems involve a wide range of engineering applications (e.g., a school robo-mascot, automated solar water heater, remote control hover craft). The course serves as a capstone course where students apply the principles they developed in previous courses. A journal is part of each student's portfolio. Each team is responsible for delivering progress reports and making final presentations to an outside review panel. The course meets for a total of 75 hours over a two- week period and focuses on the content as wdl as teaching methods appropriate for the course. This course is designed specifically and only for current high school teachers who have been assigned by their schools and districts to teach the Projed Lead the Way courses in their respective schools. These courses carry graduate credit for those teachers who would use them as part of a master's degree program or for recertification. QUALITY AND LEAN MANUFACTURING COURSES - ETM ETM 5913. Six Sigma Tools I (3) This distance learning course provides an introduction to the six sigma body of knowledge as defined by the American Society of Quality (ASQ).

Prerequisite: BS with three years relevant experience & an engineering statistics undergraduate course or equivalent such as Math 3410 is required, or instructor's approval. Students also must be able to work on an approved six sigma project at a firm. This distance learning course is required for the Institutional Certificate in Quality and Lean Manufacturing, and can be used as a technical elective for the Oklahoma State University Engineering Technology Management Masters Degree. ETM 5943. Lean-Sigma Implementation (3) This course introduces students to the implementation skills necessary to successfully combine and apply lean manufacturing and six sigma concepts in small to mid-sized manufacturing facilities. This course is required for the Institutional Certificate in Quality and Lean Manufaduring, and can be used as a technical elective for the Oklahoma State University Engineering Technology Management Masters Degree. Prerequisites: ETM 5923, ETM 5933. Mechanical Engineering Technology Location: Engineering Technology Building, Room 214 Telephone Contact: 801-626-6305 E-Mail: met@weber.edu Advisors: Kirk D. Hagen, Danid J. Magda IVIechanical engineering technology is the practical application of mechanical engineering. Mechanical engineering technologists play an integral role in product design and manufaduring process cydes which include planning, design, analysis, testing and documentation. They utilize skills in materials science, engineering mechanics, thermal science, design, instrumentation and technical writing. The program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, Inc., Ill Marketplace, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, tdephone (410) 347-7700. The curriculum includes problem-solving courses such as statics, strength of materials, dynamics, machine design, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer that are based on engineering science and mathematics. Integrated into many of the courses are laboratory and projed oriented experiences that teach the practical, hands-on aspects of mechanical engineering technology. A balanced blend of engineering science and pradical applications provides the mechanical engineering technologist the knowledge and skills needed to be successful in today's technical workplace. Mechanical engineering technology has lead to numerous opportunities for exdting, creative and rewarding careers in a wide range of industries including aerospace, automotive, eledronics, manufaduring, medical equipment, mining and power generation.
