ENGT 103 - Fluid Power Fundamentals

Description:ENGT 103 is a hands-on course in the fundamentals of industrial fluid power systems. This course covers both hydraulic and pneumatic systems; however, most discussions and laboratory work will focus on industrial hydraulic systems. Pneumatic systems are discussed near the end of the course where an emphasis is placed on air compression and air preparation. Initial discussions show how energy, force, pressure, and flow relate to hydrostatic systems. Subsequent discussions cover the design of various components and circuits. Industry-grade cylinders, valves, motors, and pumps are used in all laboratory experiments and students will disassemble these components to gain a better understanding of their operation. Schematic symbols are presented throughout the course and students are required to generate circuit diagrams using both manual drawing and computer software. Offered in Fall and Spring.
