Document Subject: Prerequisite and course description change for MET 214 - Machine Elements

Justification: The Dynamics course prerequisite MET 218 is no longer offered. The required Dynamics course has changed number to MET 213. The MET 161 Intro to Computers course has changed to an Intro to Engineering Technology and is no longer needed as a computer programming prerequisite since the description change that lines up the description with the one used at Purdue University West Lafayette now reflects the computer use may not be programming.

Current: MET 214 - MACHINE ELEMENTS
Credits: 3 (Class 3, Lab 0)
Prerequisites: MET 211 and MET 218 and MET 161

The theories and methods developed in statics, dynamics, and strength of materials are applied to the selection of basic machine components. The course will develop the fundamental principles required for the selection of the individual elements of which a machine is composed. Selected course topics are included as computer programming projects

Proposed: MET 214 - MACHINE ELEMENTS
Credits: 3 (Class 3, Lab 0)
Prerequisites: MET 211 and MET 213

The methods developed in statics, dynamics, and strength of materials are applied to the selection of basic machine components. The fundamental principles required for the selection of individual elements that compose a machine are developed. Selected course topics are included as computer exercises.
