Mechanical Engineering Business Educatton/Administrative Systems General Information The areas of concentration for mechanical engineering technology are machine design and heat power. The program at Weber State College is intended to develop specific skills in: 1. Drafting, CAD and machine design 2. Stress analysis 3. Heat sciences 4. Manufacturing processes 5. Experimental methods and instrumentation 6. Computing languages and mathematics 7. Dynamics and the dynamic response of structures 8. Technical report writing and communication skills 9. Interpersonal relations The curriculum includes "hands-on" experience in shops and laboratories as well as in-depth problem solving courses based on mathematics and the engineering sciences. Successful students in this program reach levels of proficiency in making laboratory measurements, in calculating and in writing reports. The faculty continually strives to improve the program of instruction so that our graduates will: 1. Have the skills necessary for engineering design with emphasis on the entire process of developing and manufacturing high-quality, low-cost products. 2. Have the ability to apply the principles of engineering science to the analysis of engineering problems. 3. Have experienced first-hand laboratory comparisons of theory and experiment and explained, in writing, the divergences. 4. Have experienced serious, graded technical writing assignments. A solid understanding of the facts tends to produce clear writing, and the writing exercise requires that one organize his thoughts. 5. Have demonstrated competence in a senior-year team project requiring design, analysis, fabrication, test and evaluation.
