MET-255 Mechanical Technology Capstone Project

This course is the culmination of the previous and concurrent course required for the Mechanical Technology Program. Students will be assigned a problem and asked to provide a solution. Most of the necessary information will be provided but some may require the students to do some research, such as a search on the internet. The project will incorporate drawing/design, analysis and manufacturing knowledge. The students may be asked to produce a scaled model prototype. The students will present their results in a short presentation to invited faculty, Advisory Board members and other invited guests.
