Catalog description

Prerequisite(s): AUT 1260 (or any MATH MAT course 1000 or higher) with a C- or better Corequisite(s): DMT 2310L Outlines the fundamental principles of fluid power (hydraulics). Emphasizes the relationship between pressure, force, area, and resistance. Covers Bernoulli's principle in connection with hydraulic: flow, horsepower torque and the conservation of energy. Illustrates the application and operation of all of the essential components and valving found in in a hydraulic system. Identifies types of circuit designs and schematic symbols. Software fee of $33 applies. Lab access fee of $45 for computers applies.
