Document Subject : Prerequisite change in MET 461 - Computer Integrated Design and Manufacturing

Justification : MFET 135 is no longer offered or required in the MET program. The manufacturing processes course that replaced MFET 135 in the curriculum is MET 242. MET 205 is being replaced with MET 102. Due to the finite element analysis being covered in the course, students need to have taken strength of materials, MET 211.

Current : MET 461 - COMPUTER INTEGRATED DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING
Credits: 3 (Class 2, Lab 2)
Prerequisites: MET 205 and MFET 135

A combination of lecture and laboratory projects demonstrating the integration of all phases of a product's life cycle from conception through recycling. Laboratory projects include designing parts, graphical finite element analysis, rapid phototyping, computer controlled manufacturing, and testing all using a common, three dimensional graphical database.

Proposed :

Prerequisites: MET 211, MET 242 and MET 102 or 205
Same title, pattern, and description

Impact on Students: Students will take courses in the appropriate order and proposal assures that students will not wait for discontinued prerequisites courses to be offered.
