104 College of Applied Science and Technology or technical industry. The program has six main areas of study: welding and manufacturing, design and structural, metallurgical, quality assurance, electrical, and management. The courses are designed to give students, the background to solve welding related issues in a variety of industry settings. Students will learn how to set up welding quality systems with procedures and qualifications. Most of the classes have labs where students receive hands on training to complement the classroom instruction. Students complete a senior project with a team that brings together their experience and education. The Manufacturing Engineering Technology Plastics and Composite Emphasis is designed to prepare the student for professional employment in the plastic/composite industry. Students will learn firsthand about the complex interdependence between plastic/composite process, materials, tooling, and part design. The design portion of the emphasis will provide the knowledge and skills required to fulfill a number of career roles that focus on the product development process, which includes plastic part design. Another phase of this education delves into the differences between the many types of plastics as well as the properties which differentiate plastics from other materials. This emphasis will also expose the students to a wide variety of tooling from the many plastic disciplines. This includes injection, thermoforming, blow molding, extrusion dies and high/low tech composite molds. This exposure provides the students with a keen understanding of the function, construction, and multi-component interactions involved in well constructed plastics tooling. Mechanical Engineering Technology Location: Engineering Technology Building, Room 214 Telephone Contact: Pat DeJong 801-626-6305 Email: met@weber.edu Mechanical engineering technology is the practical application of mechanical engineering. Mechanical engineering technologists play an integral role in product design and manufacturing process cycles which include planning, design, analysis, testing and documentation. They utilize skills in materials science, engineering mechanics, thermal science, design, instrumentation and technical writing. 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 project oriented experiences that teach the practical, hands-on aspects of mechanical engineering technology. A balanced blend of engineering science and practical 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 exciting, creative and rewarding careers in a wide range of industries including aerospace, automotive, electronics, manufacturing, medical equipment, mining and power generation. Design Engineering Technology Location: Engineering Technology Building, Room 214 Telephone Contact: Pat DeJong 801-626-6305 Email: designengineering@weber.edu The Design Engineering Technology program prepares students to develop product design and development drawings and 3D models as well as architectural designs, construction documents and Building Information Models (BIM), reports, presentations, technical illustrations, interactive multimedia, and animations for industry. Students will develop their graphical skills, techniques, concepts, and management skills through exercises and projects. They will work in mechanical, electrical, architectural, structural, and overall project management areas. Students will use calculators, computers, handbooks, and engineering reference materials while applying various mathematical concepts from geometry, algebra, and trigonometry. Electronics Engineering Technology Location: Engineering Technology Building, Room 214 Telephone Contact: Pat DeJong 801-626-6305 Email: jmcculley@weber.edu The Electronics Engineering Technology AAS degree prepares graduates to specify, install, operate, troubleshoot, and modify computers, automated programmable controllers, and electronic systems. It is designed to give the student fundamental knowledge and basic skills in robotics, automation, electronic manufacturing, fabrication, testing, and troubleshooting. The Electronics Engineering Technology Bachelor of Science (BS) degree is designed to continue a student's education beyond the associate's degree level. It is intended to provide the student with knowledge and skills in problem solving, critical thinking, project management, team building, and engineering research to identify, evaluate, analyze, and solve complex computer and electronic related technical problems. Apprenticeship (AAS) The Associate of Applied Science in Apprenticeship degree is a generic degree that is specifically designed for students who have completed or are completing an apprenticeship program under the auspices of the Office of Apprenticeship. This degree consists of the apprenticeship courses and on-the-job training from the Ogden Weber Applied Technology College (OWATC) coupled with general education and two additional required courses from Weber State University. While the degree was developed for OWATC apprenticeship students, it is open to anyone who meets the qualifications of an apprentice with a certificate of proficiency from a post-secondary institution offering the Office of Apprenticeship (OA) certified program. Please see www.ucats.org for a list of other Utah College of Applied Technology locations. For additional information and advisement, contact Geri Harames, College of Applied Science & Technology Academic Advisor (phone: 801-626-7552; email: gerihararnes@ weber. edu). In order for a student to receive this degree they must complete the course requirements listed below and provide one of the following: • State of Utah Journeyperson's License • Certificate of Completion from the Office of Apprenticeship (OA) • Certificate o f Comp letion from the p ost- seco ndary institution offering an OA certified program Weber State University 2013-2014 Catalog
