MET 160 - Materials and Metallurgy

3 Credit(s)

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

Recommended Prerequisite(s): MFG 101

Course Description: Studies basic metallurgy as it relates to manufacturing processes. Course introduces the identification of ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals, as well as other materials used in the manufacturing industry. Study includes mechanical and physical properties, powder metallurgy, heat treatment, alloying, crystalline structures, effects of machining, casting processes, and testing processes.

Course Level: Career/Tech Preparatory

Course Learning Outcomes:

CLO#1: Identify basic components and manufacturing processes of carbon (ferrous) materials.
CLO#2: Identify basic components and manufacturing processes of non-ferrous materials. (ILO: Critical Thinking)
CLO#3: Identify basic components and manufacturing processes of non-metallic materials such as polymers and composites.
CLO#4: Differentiate between basic metallurgical compositions of steels, alloys and non-ferrous metals.
CLO#5: Identify when treatment processes are to take place and consequences of incorrect application of process.
CLO#6: Identify material testing procedures and their application in industry.
