MATH 159 or MATH 153/154 – Algebra and Trigonometry - This course covers college level Algebra and Trigonometry necessary for most Engineering and Engineering Technology courses.
MET 111 – Applied Statics – Study of force systems, resultants and equilibrium, trusses, frames, centroids of areas, and center of gravity of bodies.
MET 211 – Applied Strength of Materials – Study of the principles of strength, stiffness, and stability are introduced and applied to primarily mechanical components.
MET 213 – Dynamics – Study of kinematics and kinetics principles of rigid-body dynamics with emphasis on the analysis of bodies in plane motion.
MET 220 – Heat and Power – Introduction to the principles of thermodynamics and heat transfer including the processes used to evaluate the performance of energy based systems such as internal combustion engines.
MET 299 – Introduction to Motorsports – This course will cover the organization of the motorsports industry and the sport of auto racing, will investigate different segments of the sport and the industry, and will survey careers available.
MET 426 – Internal Combustion Engines – Study of spark ignition and compression ignition engines and their cycles, their mechanical principles, and their application.
MET 499 – Vehicle Dynamics – This course will address the basics of chassis design, suspension tuning, vehicle aerodynamics, and vehicle system integration.
MET 414 / MET 497 / MET 299 – These courses all involve student projects and as part of the Motorsports Certificate program, a selected project must be automotive related.
NEW COURSE - Data Acquisitions - Motor Sports
Open to all students who have completed a general physics course that covered electricity or taken an electrical circuits course.
ECET 299 – class # 26254
MW 6:00-7:15p.m.
Prerequisites: ECET 107 or ECET 116 or Phys 219.
This course will provide an overview of trackside data acquisition. Including engine data, chassis data, and driver inputs. Sensors, onboard data loggers and radio telemetry units will be discussed.
