MET1500 Mechanical Drives
A thorough understanding of mechanical devices is important for designing and troubleshooting equipment. This course will focus on mechanical drive mechanisms and components, such as chain and belt drives, gears, bearings, couplings, brakes, and clutches. Students will learn to size, select, and to some degree, design these components and the systems that utilize them. Additionally, students will get to know general design procedures, building-block mechanisms, mechanical fasteners, safety, and ergonomics.
