MET 255 - Fluid Mechanics

Min Credits: 3

Fluid power is an efficient way to move energy without mechanical belts, chains, or levers. The physics of fluids, components, troubleshooting, and design applications for hydraulic and pneumatic systems are covered in this class. This class will introduce the student to both hydraulic and pneumatic components. This course will simulate an industrial environment; following all safety procedures will be required. Everyone will wear safety glasses while working in the lab! Failure to comply will result in not being able to work in lab and therefore lowering your lab grade(s). Transfer Assurance Guide (TAG) approved effective spring 2009 (OET009 - Fluid Mechanics).
