CMPET 5Engineering Methods in Engineering Technology
Introduction to experimental and computer methods in engineering technology; applications of experimental concepts through student involvement in computer exercises. CMPET 005 Engineering Methods in Engineering Technology (1) Engineering Methods in Engineering Technology is a follow-on computer skills course to EET 002S. Its purpose is to teach EET students how to use computers to help solve technical problems. The course begins by focusing on the use of the mathematical and graphing capabilities of spreadsheet programs to help analyze and present technical data. This is followed by investigation of more sophisticated problem-solving and analytical software such as Mathcad, Matlab, Mathmatica, etc. (depending upon availability). Finally, the basic electronic simulations introduced in EET 002S are extended to include more sophisticated circuit analyses using PSpice, Electronic Workbench, etc. In all cases, the problem studied in CMPET 005 are typical of the applications that will be seen in future technology classes and in the engineering technology field. In some cases, again depending on availability of the software, students are exposed to the capabilities of modern 4th generation programming languages such as Visual Basic, LabView, HPVee, etc.
