Student groups will work on the physical build of the designed prototype or proof of concept. Students will focus on: Manufacturing of all mechanical components within college facilities and/or by third party suppliers. Design of the electrical and controls components at workstation/sub-assembly level and their integration with the mechanical assembly of the entire system. Proof that the original conceptual design will work is achieved by the final demonstration. Interaction between independent groups working on subsections of a single system provides valuable insight into how industrial projects are completed, with emphasis on teamwork and professionalism. A comprehensive final report based on project documentation is also required at the end of the course.

This course reviews the metallurgy of welded connections in a range of industrial engineering alloys (carbon steels, low alloy steels, stainless steels, aluminum alloys, copper alloys, nickel alloys, titanium alloys). The thermal cycles of welding and the associated effects on the heat affected zone (HAZ) microstructures and properties are examined. The solidification of weld metal and the subsequent transformations upon cooling (in allotropic materials) are discussed as it pertains to the resulting weld metal properties. Control of welding parameters and selection of welding consumables are discussed to manage defects that can occur as a result of welding such as: hydrogen cracking or embrittlement, solidification cracking, reheat cracking, lamellartearing and softening of the HAZ.
