C Mechanical Systems

Catalog description

Term hours: 54 lecture and 18 laboratory. This course provides students with the fundamental knowledge about mechanical components in a mechatronics system and skills necessary to install and maintain those components. It begins with an overview of Statics and Kinetics, which includes force system analysis, study of equilibrium, frames and machines, friction and effects of forces on the motion of objects and then moves to maintenance scheduling, hand and power tool use, power transmission systems, bearings, lubrication, couplings, pumps, alignment, and vibration analyzers within an automated or mechatronics system.(CSU)
