Course descriptions
This is a first course in applied mechanics, suitable for entrants to all branches of the
technologist program. The course is designed to give the student a sound
understanding of how forces act, and how they may be used in modern technology.
It covers such concepts as components of a force; resultant of a number of forces;
coplanar forces in equilibrium; inertia; friction; kinematics; Newton's Laws; energy,
work and power; momentum. Applied Mechanics is composed of two principal areas -
statics and dynamics: "statics" is the study of forces on and in structures, i.e., those
in static or motionless equilibrium; whereas "dynamics" is concerned with dynamic
equilibrium, or the forces acting on a moving body. Applied Mechanics, since it deals
with the very basic concept of force, is the origin for all calculations in areas such as
stress analysis, machine design, hydraulics and structural design.
Course Health, Work and Safety Code: HEAL 27485 Hours / wk: 3
This course will introduce students to the fundamental principles of health and safety
in the work place. Various pieces of legislation governing the work place in Ontario
will be reviewed including the Occupational Health and Safety Act; Workers
Compensation Act; Employment Standards Act and WHMIS. Health hazards such as
chemical, physical and biological and health concerns will be discussed. The physical
environment and health will be explored by researching such topics as managing
wastes, violence abuse, reducing pollution (noise, water and air) and soil. Wellness
in the work place will be discussed through health promotion measures such as
lifestyle, physical fitness and licit and illicit drugs. Discussions, presentations, group
work and lectures will contribute to the understanding of the topics explored.
N/A
circuit theorems to calculate currents and voltages in resistive networks, and power
and efficiency in small systems. Basic inductive and capacitive components will be
studied. Periodic waveforms and ac voltage, current, power, and ac transformers will
be studied briefly.
This course provides opportunities for students to evaluate the effects of technology
and the use of technology in society, as well as on the individual through an analysis
of competing visions of technology. Through interactive lectures, online exercises,
classroom assignments, and online and classroom participation, the course will
provide opportunities for written analysis of the work of Jacques Ellul, as well as to
the history of humanism and modern institutions such as the corporation, science lab
and political bureaucracy. Interdisciplinary concepts, such as technique, humanism,
'creative destruction', and Disnification, will provide the analytic basis of scholarly
investigation in order to avoid the problem of personal speculation. Clear explanation
of historical trends, from the Classical Age to the Modern Age, and from the Physical
Economy to the Knowledge Economy, will put the concepts in context. The course will
pose the question of whether the modern corporation is a technological oppressor or
a humanist wealth provider, and whether individuals themselves are technicians or
humanists.
The course is designed for students who have elected to proceed in the Mechanical
Engineering Technology Program clusters and starts where the general course
Applied Mechanics finishes. It goes into structures and much greater detail with
forces on bodies in motion and introduces rotational dynamics, work/energy
principals and momentum concepts. Applied Mechanics since it deals with the very
basic concept of force is the origin for all the calculations in areas such as stress
analysis, machine design, hydraulics and structural design.

softwares. The students will be able to recognize and understand the functions the
computer performs. The student will write or prepare various programs to solve
various engineering problems using Visual Basic and MathCAD software.
This course introduces the student to the manufacture of parts using a variety of
common metalworking tools. The theory and use of machine tools and metal
fabrication will be taught, with particular emphasis on safe practices, Students will
produce various metal parts, to a drawing specification, within the prescribed
tolerances, using various hand fabrication and machine tools. On completion of the
parts, the student will assemble the parts, and be graded according to the quality of
his/her work.
Course Engineering Materials and Testing Code ENGI 10679 Hours / wk: 3
The materials used in modern civilization are very complex and of great variety.
Their properties and possible uses are widely varied. These properties and uses, in
many cases, depend to a great extent on the prior treatment given to the material
and on the environment in which they are used. The technician and technologist
need to have a good understanding of materials and how they respond to the
environment in which they are used. He/she must realize that materials respond to
definite laws of nature. More and more, the technician and technologist is required to
make decisions on materials, many of them new and different from those used in the
past. It is essential that he/she be able to evaluate these by analysis of data supplied
by the suppliers.

This course is the study of the strength of materials applied to different shapes of
machine parts and structures such as shafts and beams. Strength of materials or
mechanics of materials is concerned with the stresses and deformations caused by
applied loads to a body. The course reviews first and second moments of plane area,
free body diagrams and method of sections showing necessary internal reactions.
Some of the topics covered together with the laboratories are stresses, strains,
Young's modules, shear stress in shafts, shear and bending stress in beams,
deflection of beams by the moment area method, and indeterminate compression
and tension structures.
This course deals with the fundamentals of pneumatic and electropneumatic controls.
Electrical signal input elements, signal converters and basic control circuits serve as
an introduction to the field of control technology. The course begins with an
examination of the make-up and operating characteristics of individual components
in the electropneumatics circuit covering symbolism, definition of terms and
functional representation. Following this, the student is introduced to the design of
electropneumatic control circuits. Practical lab exercises allow the student hands-on
experience with the design, production and trouble shooting of various control
circuits taken up in lectures.
This course is the study, complete with practical applications of the transportation of
power from one point to another using fluid as the medium. Hydraulic oil will be
used as the conducting fluid flowing in a network of pipes, tubes and/or hoses. Both
the symbology and circuit design commonly used in industry will be studied along
with the fundamental hydraulic components. Application of these components in
schematics and in lab. applications will be studied to ensure an understanding of
both their function and their interrelationship in the system. The interaction of
pumps and motors, pressure control valves, pressure compensated flow controls and
direction control valves will be examined in detail giving the required linear and
rotary output.
This course is designed at an advanced level. The student will study the architecture
of the family of Allen Bradley Controllers. Using all the programming tools including
sequential function charts, processor configuration, adapter modules, analog control,
data highway, design and build programs for working lab simulators.
Course Instrumentation and Process Control Code: ENGI 29875 Hours / wk: 1
Process control begins with the measurement of process variables. The measured
variable is transmitted to a controller which compares the desired set point and takes the
appropriate action. This course deals with all aspects of instrumentation to measure
variables and how this instrumentation is used in the field of process control. The
instrumentation includes electrical devices, both analog and digital, pneumatic devices,
hydraulic devices and mechanical devices. Among the physical variables covered in this
course are pressure, current, voltage, level, flow and humidity. The centerpiece of
process control is the controller. The main topics that are covered in this course are the
more common types of controller and how they carry out their actions. A few laboratory
exercises are designed to give the students practical aspects of instrumentation and
process control.
A hands-on course in which the student will identify and complete the major activities for
the successful manufacture of a mechanical project. This will include design and drafting
on CAD, Project Management, Machining, Fabricating, Purchasing, Assembly and Testing
of the manufactured product. Approval of the students' choice will depend on a written
project proposal which will include a brief description of the project, the manufacturing
processes involved and an estimated cost. The student(s) will indicate progress-to-date
in the form of an oral class presentation and regular scheduling. The student(s) will build
the project and upon completion, the student(s) will lectures and practical
demonstrations
This course is a continuation of Basic Electricity and is focused on the operation and
