MECH 141 – 3 – 4 Drafting IICourse RevisionChanges• Content• Prerequisites• Course description• Course number change – change to MECH 142Course Calendar Description:MECH 142 – 3 – 4 Drafting IIFormerly MECH 141 This course is a continuation of MECH 131 with emphasis on the production of detailed designand assembly drawings, using AutoCAD, to current drafting standards. This course will focus onstandard parts dimensioning and tolerancing, bill of materials, manufacturing notes, and pipedrawings. Students will be introduced to Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (G.D.&T.),fundamentals of datum systems and tolerance specifications. (2,2,0)Prerequisites:

Proposed Current List course prerequisite(s) MECH 131 MECH 131 and 137

4

Rationale: Students now progress at a faster rate and accomplish more in the first semester MECH 131drafting course due to the elimination of board drafting and improved basic computer skills ofstudents entering the program. As a result, there is room for new material in Drafting II. MECH151 G.D.&T. course has been deleted and course material combined with the Drafting II course inthe second semester. G.D.&T. can be integrated seamlessly into this course and will maintainCAD skills at the same level as the current MECH program for the first Co-op work term. Proposed Date of Implementation: September 2007 Costs: none

MECH 143 – 3 – 5 Mechanical FabricationCourse revisionChanges• Semester offered• Course number change - change to MECH 139Course Calendar Description:MECH 139 – 3 – 5 Mechanical FabricationFormerly MECH 143 This is a practical course involving instruction in machine shop processes and the selection anduse of tools. Students will use milling machines, lathes, other fabrication equipment andmeasuring instruments. Topics of study include but are not limited to metal cutting techniques,forming processes, bonding and welding. Safety and shop discipline are emphasized. (2,3,0)Prerequisites: admission to the Mechanical Engineering Technology programRationale:This course is moved from second semester to first semester in order to give new first yearstudents practical shop skills as soon as they enter the Mechanical Engineering Technologyprogram. It will appeal to students, develop their machine shop skills early, and provide abalance to their first semester academic studies (practical hands-on course). MechanicalFabrication is a foundation course that provides the basis for student projects in other courseslater in first year and throughout second year of the program.Proposed Date of Implementation: September 2007 Cost: none

MECH 153 – 3 – 45 WeldingCourse RevisionChanges• Content• Prerequisites• Contact hours• Course number – change to MECH 152Course Calendar Description:MECH 152 – 3 – 30 WeldingFormerly MECH 153Students will study the theory of welding practice and gain hands-on experience with weldingtechniques. Welding codes and standards are covered. Standard weld inspection and testingtechniques will be performed. This course is offered over a one week period following the wintersemester. (15, 15, 0) Prerequisite:

Proposed Current List course prerequisite(s) MECH 139 MECH 143 and 147

Rationale:Course content is being reduced and the course now focuses on practical hands-on welding andapplications. Weld stress analysis material from the current course is removed and incorporatedinto MECH 149 Manufacturing Applications course. This allows a reduction in course hours to atotal of 30 hours, and the removal of the MECH 147 prerequisite.

Proposed Date of Implementation: September 2007 Costs: none

MECH 226 – 3 – 4 ProjectCourse revisionChanges• Prerequisites• Contact hours• Course number change – change to MECH 240Course Calendar Description:MECH 240 – 3 – 5 ProjectFormerly MECH 226 In this course students apply mechanical design methods to specific projects. Materials andtopics from previous courses are utilized to solve design problems. Students generate andevaluate concepts, develop designs, and produce engineering drawings, reports andpresentations. (2,3,0) Prerequisites:

Proposed Current List course prerequisite(s) MECH 144, 232, 233,

235, and 237 CMNS 142, MECH 144,232, 233, 235

List course corequisite(s) CMNS 144 none Rationale:CTAB, the national accreditation body for the program, recommended that Communicationsinstructors work directly with students on their capstone design projects, and evaluate oral andwritten work done. This has led to moving the second Communications course to second year,concurrently with the final semester capstone design project. Communications Department hasagreed to this and submitted a separate proposal to Education Council to move the secondCommunications course.

MECH 237 prerequisite is added since student projects must be designed using 3-D solidmodeling CAD software. Co-requisite CMNS 144 is added to link the second Communicationscourse with the Project course.

The capstone project course is being revised to increase lab time by one hour, since theCommunications department requested a reduction from four to three contact hours. Since bothcourses are now linked, students will not lose valuable lab time to work on their projects. Proposed date of implementation: September 2009 Costs: none MECH 237 – 3 – 5 Computer Applications IICourse revisionChanges• Course Title – change to Computer Applications I• CorequisitesCourse Calendar Description:MECH 237 – 3 – 5 Computer Applications I This course covers 3-D solid modeling of parts and mechanical assemblies using leading industrysoftware. Finite element analysis is introduced with an application to simple structures. (2,3,0)Prerequisites:

Proposed Current List course prerequisite(s) MECH 142 MECH 141 List course corequisite(s) None MECH 235

Rationale:The course title is being revised due to the deletion of first semester MECH 137 course. Thiscourse is now the first Computer Applications course and should be titled MECH 237 – Computer

Applications I. In addition, co-requisite MECH 235 is removed since piping and instrumentdrawings are covered in the previous Drafting II course.Proposed date of implementation: January 2009Costs: none

MECH 242 – 3 – 4 Manufacturing Course revision:Changes• Prerequisites• Semester offered• Course title – change to Manufacturing Processes• Course number change – change to MECH 148Course Calendar Description:MECH 148 – 3 – 4 Manufacturing ProcessesFormerly MECH 242 Topics covered in this course focus on forming, foundry, machining and joining processes, andplastic and reinforced polymer processing. Emphasis is placed on the proper selection ofmanufacturing processes for production of mechanical components (2,2,0) Prerequisites:

Proposed Current List course prerequisite(s) MECH 133 and 139 MECH 143 and 233

Rationale:The Manufacturing course moves from second year (fourth semester) to first year (secondsemester). It now follows directly after Materials Technology. This improves students’ retentionof Materials Science necessary for fundamental understanding of the processes taken in theManufacturing course. A knowledge of manufacturing processes early in the MECH programincreases student skills for first year co-op work terms, and also enhances their ability to selectmaterials and manufacturing processes in second year courses. MECH 133 prerequisite isadded to ensure students have a background in materials. MECH 233 is removed since thiscourse does not depend on it.Proposed date of implementation: September 2007 Costs: none

MECH 243 – 3 – 4 Production, Planning and Operations ManagementCourse revision:Changes• Prerequisites• Course descriptionCourse Calendar Description: Students apply operations management decisions and principles to a specific project. Topicsinclude but are not limited to process design, work measurement methods, plant layout, inventorycontrol, scheduling, and economics of production. (2,2,0) Prerequisites:

Proposed Current List course prerequisite(s) MATH 145 MECH 233 List course corequisite(s) none MECH 242

Rationale:MECH 233 prerequisite is removed, and MATH 145 prerequisite is added. Co-requisite MECH242 is removed. This course does not depend on material taken in MECH 233 or MECH 242,and the removal of the prerequisite provides flexibility to students, especially those taking courseson a part-time basis. This course requires the math skills taken in the MATH 145 course. Proposed date of implementation: September 2009 Costs: none

MECH 245 – 3 – 5 Robotics and AutomationCourse revision:Changes• Content• Course Title – change to Robotics and CIM• Prerequisites• Course description• Course number change – change to MECH 249Course Calendar Description: MECH 249 – 3 – 5 Robotics and CIMFormerly MECH 245 This course focuses on the design and specification of robotic and computer integratedmanufacturing (CIM) systems. Students program both the simulation of robot work cells and realrobots, for applications in material handling, machine loading, processing, and assemblyoperations. Machine vision systems are also introduced. (2,3,0) Prerequisites:

Proposed Current List course prerequisite(s) ELEN 236, MECH 144 and

MECH 235 MECH 144, 235, 237

Rationale:The Robotics and Automation course has been split into separate courses. In the past most ofthe course time was spent on Robotics and little time was available for Automation. This coursenow just focuses on Robotics and computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) systems. Mech 237prerequisite is removed since solid modeling CAD is not required for this course. Elen 236prerequisite is added to ensure students have basic understanding of electronics for mechanicalengineering applications.Proposed date of implementation: September 2009Costs: none

MECH 247 – 3 – 5 Computer Applications IIICourse revision:Changes• Course title – change to Computer Applications II• Prerequisites• CorequisitesCourse Calendar Description: MECH 247 – 3 – 5 Computer Applications IIThis course covers current CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing)software for creating part geometry and toolpaths for CNC (Computer Numerical Control)machine programming. Students are introduced to the programming and operation of CNCequipment, including lathes and milling machines. (2,3,0)Prerequisites:

Proposed Current List course prerequisite(s) MECH 142 MECH 237 List course corequisite(s) None MECH 245

Rationale:The course title is being revised due to the deletion of first semester MECH 137 course. Thiscourse is now the second Computer Applications course and should be titled MECH 247 –Computer Applications II. In addition, MECH 237 prerequisite is removed since this course doesnot depend on it. Prerequisite Mech 142 Drafting II is added to ensure students are familiar withdrafting and CAD software. Co-requisite Mech 245 is removed since course material isindependent.Proposed date of implementation: September 2009Costs: none

MECH 252 – 3 – 45 Jigs and Fixture DesignCourse revision:Changes• Content• Course title – change to Manufacturing Applications• Prerequisites• Semester offered• Course number change – change to MECH 149Course Calendar Description:MECH 149 – 3 – 4 Manufacturing ApplicationsFormerly MECH 252During this course, students study standard approaches in the design and specification of jigsand fixtures for manufacturing. Catalogue selection of components and current drafting practiceswill be used to generate CAD drawings. The designed jig and fixtures will be fabricated in the lab.Students will also study the design and analysis of bolted and welded connections.Prerequisites:

Proposed Current List course prerequisite(s) MECH 133, 134 and 139 MECH 143

Rationale:Jigs and Fixture Design is moved from a one week end-of-semester course in second year intothe regular semester of first year. As an end-of-semester course, not enough time was availablefor students to fabricate their designs of a jig and a fixture. Within the regular semester, studentslearn at a slower pace and will accomplish more including jig and fixture fabrication. This willfurther increase students’ machine shop skills for co-op work terms at the end of first year. Thereis also enough time in the course to teach the design and analysis of connections, bolted andwelded. The move of connection design to this course will ease student studies in other courses.Prerequisites MECH 133 and 134 are added to ensure students have the background knowledgeto carry out material selection and connection design work.Proposed date of implementation: September 2007Costs: none

MECH 253 – 3 – 45 Advanced QualityCourse revision:Changes• PrerequisitesCourse Calendar Description:Quality management systems are discussed and methods of quality control and assurance arestudied during this course. Students will apply current quality standards, problem solving andcontinuous improvement techniques to manufacturing processes in common industrial situations.This course is offered over a two week period following the winter semester. (20, 25, 0)Prerequisites:

Proposed Current List course prerequisite(s) admission to Mechanical

Engineering Technologyprogram

MECH 233

Rationale:MECH 233 prerequisite is removed, and the prerequisite becomes admission to the MechanicalEngineering Technology Program. This course does not depend on material taken in MECH 233,and the removal of the prerequisite provides flexibility to students, especially those taking courseson a part-time basis.Proposed date of implementation: January 2009Costs: none

MECH 239 – 3 – 3 AutomationNew CourseCourse Calendar Description: Design of production and manufacturing automation technologies are introduced in this course.Topics are part identification systems, feed systems, conveyance systems, work cell design,assembly line design, package finishing lines, automation sequencing, commissioning, andanalytical troubleshooting. (3,0,0) Prerequisite:

Proposed Current List course prerequisite(s) MECH 144 none List course corequisite(s) MECH 235 none

Rationale:The Robotics and Automation course has been split into separate courses. In the past most ofthe course time was spent on Robotics and little time was available for Automation. This coursefocuses on Automation technologies with common applications in manufacturing and processingplants. Prerequisite is MECH 144 to ensure that students have an understanding of dynamics.Co-requisite is MECH 235 since this course dovetails with applications in fluid power: hydraulicsand pneumatics. Proposed date of implementation: January 2009 Costs: none

MECH 137 – 3 – 4 Computer Applications ICourse DeletionRationale:In 1995, when the Mechanical Engineering Technology program first started, this course wasnecessary due to limited computer and keyboard skills of first year students. MECH 137 gavestudents a basic working knowledge of MS-DOS, Windows, keyboard skills, and MS Officeapplications including Word, Excel, and Powerpoint.

Today, all students entering the program have the basic knowledge of computers, internet, andkeyboard skills to be successful in the program. MS Office applications (Word, Excel, andPowerpoint) are being taught and used by students throughout the MECHprogram, in many of thefirst year courses and extensively in second year courses. Intended deletion date: September 2007

MECH 151 – 3 – 45 Geometric Dimensioning and TolerancingCourse DeletionRationale:Several years ago, board drafting was eliminated from the Mechanical Engineering Technologyprogram due to its outdated and obsolete practice in industry. Now, students learn CAD(Computer aided drafting) early in first year and develop computer drafting skills much morequickly. As a result, there is not enough content material in the second CAD course Mech 141Drafting II. Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing can be integrated seamlessly into the Mech141 course. Note that Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing is not required by the nationalaccreditation standards for Mechanical Engineering Technology, and does not need to be aseparate course.Intended deletion date: September 2007

Mechanical Engineering TechnologyProgram RevisionChanges:• Addition or deletion of courses• Re-sequencing of courses• Graduation requirementsProgram Calendar Description:

10

No changeAdmission requirements:No changeGraduation requirements:Current graduation requirements:

93 credits and minimum GGA of 60% (college wide standard for diploma programs)Proposed graduation requirements:

Successful completion of the 90 course credits prescribed in the Mechanical EngineeringTechnology programme and a minimum GGA (Graduating Grade Average) of 60 percent.

Rationale:This is the first revision to the Mechanical Engineering Technology program since classes startedin the fall of 1995. The program now requires a revision to refine the sequence and flow ofcourses, incorporate recommendations by the national accreditation body, and to improve thebalance between academics and practical hands-on applications. Two courses are deleted(MECH 137 and MECH 151), and one course is added (MECH 239). Therefore, graduationrequirements will change slightly, from 93 credits to 90 credits.First Year:Two key manufacturing courses are moved into first year: Manufacturing Processes and Jigs andFixture Design content. Manufacturing is now grouped together in an improved sequential order,and offers first year students more skills for co-op work terms at the end of first year. MechanicalFabrication moves to first semester and allows students to work in the machine shop as soon asthey enter the program. Jigs and Fixture Design content moves from second to first year andstudents build on their shop skills. Manufacturing Processes moves from second to first year,and now follows directly after Materials. This improves students’ retention of material sciencenecessary in the Manufacturing course.

Several years ago, board drafting was removed from the program due to its outdated andobsolete practice in industry. Students now develop computer drafting skills earlier and morequickly in first semester. As a result, there is not enough material in the second semester MECH141 Drafting II course. MECH 151 Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (G.D.&T.) has beendeleted and the material incorporated into the Drafting II course. Note that G.D.&T. is notrequired by national accreditation standards for the program, and does not need to be a separatecourse.

In 1995 at program startup, MECH 137 Computer Applications was necessary due to limitedcomputer and keyboard skills of first year students. Today, students have the necessary skillsand learn computer applications (Word, Excel etc) quickly. MS Office applications are beingtaught and used by students throughout the program, in many first year courses, and extensivelyin second year. MECH 137 has been deleted from the program.Second Year:The national accreditation body for the program recommended that Communications instructorswork directly with students on their capstone design projects, and evaluate oral and written work.This has led to moving the second Communications course to second year, concurrently with thefinal semester capstone design project. Communications has agreed to this and submitted aseparate proposal to Education Council to move their course.

Robotics and Automation has been split into separate courses. In the past, most of the coursetime was spent on Robotics and little time was available for Automation. Both Robotics andAutomation are of increasing importance and should be addressed to ensure students familiarity,and to keep the Mechanical Engineering Technology program up-to-date.

Prerequisites for Advanced Quality and Operations Management courses have been reduced. Itis not necessary for management courses to be taken in a specific sequential order. This changeallows part-time students more flexibility in course selection, and completion of the MECHprogram on a more balanced semester-to-semester schedule.

11

Students in the MECH program have been consulted on the program revision, and are verysupportive of the changes.

FNS 012 First Nations Studies 012 – 80 hoursCourse revision:Changes:• Content• Prerequisites• Course descriptionCourse calendar description:First Nations Studies 012 provides students with historical background and current informationleading to knowledge and understanding of indigenous peoples in Canada, focusing on peoplesbased in geographical areas now known as the province of British Columbia and the regionserved by Okanagan College. Rationale:First Nations Studies 012 was approved by the OUC Education Council in 1998; however, thecourse was never provincially articulated. As a result, students could not use the course towardthe BC Adult Graduation Diploma, so the course was rarely, if ever, offered.

In 2005, a provincial ABE First Nations Articulation Working Group was formed, and OC’s FirstNations 012 was presented to the working group. The course was not approved, with three mainrecommendations: 1) that a prerequisite be added 2) that Okanagan content be the main focus;3) that community input be incorporated.

The recommendations were addressed and changes were approved by the ABE First NationsArticulation Working Group in March 2007, pending OC Education Council approval.

This course will be initially offered through distance education. This will add a non-scienceelective for students at all OC campuses who are working toward the BCAGD. As demandincreases, class sections will be added. Prerequisite: English 080 or equivalent or a minimum ABLE test score of 72/80 and a ProvincialLevel writing sampleProposed date of implementation: September 2007Costs: none

ENGL 075 Selected Topics in English – 40 hoursENGL 085 Selected Topics in English – 40 hoursENGL 095 Selected Topics in English – 40 hoursNew Courses:Course Calendar Description:Selected topics in English may include, but are not limited to, grammar and sentence structure;business communications; job search skills and resume writing; essay writing; study skills; and

13

college reading skills. This course may be taken more than once but with a different topicemphasis.Prerequisites:

English 075 – 40 hoursPrerequisite: Minimum 60% in one of the following: English 060, both English 061 and 062,or a minimum ABLE test score of 56/80 and an Intermediate Level writing sample

English 085 – 40 hoursPrerequisite: Minimum 60% in one of the following: English 070, both English 071 and 072,or a minimum ABLE test score of 68/80 and an Advanced Level writing sample

English 095 – 40 hoursPrerequisite: Minimum 60% in one of the following: English 080, both English 081 and 082,or a minimum ABLE test score minimum ABLE test score of 72/80 and a Provincial Levelwriting sample

Rationale:The AACP Department is in the unique position of providing a “pathway” for students to all otherOkanagan College programs. In order to improve our ability to respond to student demand in atimely way, we propose an intermediate, an advanced, and a provincial stream of short, non-articulated courses in English that can be customized to learner and receiving program needs.These courses will complement articulated ABE programming as well as provide supplementalinstruction for students in post-secondary programs who require remedial skill development.

In addition to being responsive to Okanagan College post-secondary program needs, thedepartment will also be in a position to respond to employer and community needs. Proposed date of implementation: September 2007Costs: none
