MET 165 - Materials Engineering and Metallurgy

3 Credit(s)

Prerequisite(s): CIS 120, MTH 20 and RD 90 or WR 91 or designated placement.

Course Description: Introduces students to the characteristics of materials that are important in design, and the role of quality control in working with materials. Topics include: material quality control, tensile strength analysis, data acquisition systems, materials design, compression testing and analysis, shear and hardness testing and analysis, and design evaluation. Course also covers the principles of non-ferrous and ferrous metals, and introduces the properties, elements, and types of nonferrous and ferrous materials commonly employed in metal manufacturing. Lessons cover the basics of the non-ferrous and ferrous material manufacturing process, the elements used to create these materials, the main types of non-ferrous and ferrous materials and their properties, and the common tests used to measure metal properties.

Course Level: Career/Tech Preparatory

Course Learning Outcomes:

CLO#1: Identify basic components and manufacturing processes of ferrous non-ferrous materials.
CLO#2: Differentiate between basic metallurgical compositions of ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
CLO#3: Identify steps of treatment processes and recognize consequences of incorrect application of process.
CLO#4: Demonstrate material testing procedures and their application in industry. (ILO: Critical Thinking)
