Introduces hydraulic and pneumatic schematics and circuits as well as identification and operation of basic components. Covers supporting mechanical concepts. Explores industrial robots, production lines, and biomedical equipment. Prerequisites: EET 122, EET 112. Audit available.
Intended Outcomes for the course
Upon completion of the course students should be able to:
- Apply knowledge of linear motion, circular motion, forces, and energy to mechanical assemblies.
- Utilize basic calculations of force, pressure, and temperature in common mechanical assemblies.
-
Use conservation of energy equations to solve basic mechanical and fluid power problems.
- Demonstrate an understanding of how fluid power devices fit into applications such as robotics, instrumentation, automated production environments, and industrial control.
- Perform calculations to select and size piping and motor actuators in common applications.
- Design simple fluid power circuits for given applications.
Outcome Assessment Strategies
Assessment methods are to be determined by the instructor. Typically, in-class quizzes, online quizzes,exams and weekly homework assignments will be used.
