Mechanisms (WCC Course Information)

In this course, students will gain theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills for shaft, belt, gear and chain drives using real-world motor drive components. Students will learn and apply these skills in mechanical drives training systems and interactive online mechanical drives curriculum. They will also build skills in hands-on mechanical drives including mechanical drive systems, power transmission systems, v-belt drives, chain drives, spur gear drives, and multiple shaft drives. Students will be introduced to lock-out/tag-out safety procedures and 5S workplace organization (Set in order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain, Safety). This course is the foundation for mechatronics programs. Beginning with the second session, students will complete online preparatory and research modules prior to class to prepare for the daily hands-on lab sessions. The title of this course was previously Mechanisms. Level I Prerequisite: Academic Reading and Writing Levels of 6; Academic Math Level 3 or MTH 157 minimum grade "C", may enroll concurrently
