ENGN 0260 Mechanical

Technology

Basic machine shop

course that, with the help

of an instructor, teaches

students how to fabricate

a few simple objects

using hand tools and

basic machines. This

course is designed to

introduce the student to

the machining process

and environment.

Mechanical Technology II

MTII is a more extensive machine shop course

designed to teach machine shop practices, the use of

hand tools, and safety in the shop. Students learn how

to setup and operate milling machines, lathes,

bandsaws, grinders, and sheet metal equipment. They

fabricate projects of varying degrees of difficulty. Upon

successful completion of this course, students are given

permission to use the JEPIS student shop to develop

ideas or a manufacturing process for projects or

experiments related to studies.

Engineering Project: Threaded end

caps for a vacuum compression seal

on a glass tube. Brass ends have an

o-ring inside for sealing and the

stainless steel caps have welded on

fittings. Prof. Angus Kingon

Head implants for Neuroscience, Prof.

Sheinberg. An ABS prototype was cast

in the SLA machine in the Eng. Depart.

The final implants were made from

Peek material. An aluminum fixture

was fabricated to machine the shape of

the legs. Prof. David Sheinberg
