Key to Descriptions of Courses
The courses listed in the sections, "Technology Courses" and "Engineering Courses" will, for the most part, be offered during the 1983-85 academic years. Additional information on the schedule of these courses may be obtained from the specific departments in the School. The courses are grouped under the program subject abbreviation and a typical course description contains the following information: first, the course number; second, the title; third the num- ber of hours of lecture per week; fourth, the number of laboratory hours a week; fifth, semes- ter credit hours (in parenthesis); sixth, prerequisites (P) and/or corequisites (C). For example, under Mechanical Engineering Technology (MEn, a course description reads:
112 Applied Mechanisms Class 1, Lab. 5 (3 cr.) P: EG 110, C: MATH 148 or equivalent. An analysis of motions, displacements, velocities, instant centers, cams, linkages, and gears.
This listing indicates that the course number is MET 112 with the title "Applied Mechanisms."
The course meets 1 hour a week for lecture and 5 hours a week for laboratory. The semester credit hours are 3; prerequisite of EG 110 and corequisite of MATH 148 or equivalent are re- quired. A brief course description then follows.
The numbering system for courses reflects the following levels:
1-49: Precollege and deficiency courses 50-99: Nondegree courses
100-299: Courses normally scheduled for freshmen and sophomores 300-499: Courses normally scheduled for juniors and seniors
500-599: Dual level courses that may be scheduled for juniors and seniors and for graduate students for graduate credits.
