Objectives:                         

  1. Given a print, the student will identify all the moving components.
  2. Given a print, the student will determine the speed of the conveyors.
  3. Given final exam questions, the student will identify the material carried by the conveyor.

                                                 

Outcome 2: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to describe and properly apply the use of belt conveyors.

Objectives:                         

  1. Given a print, the student will identify all the moving components.
  2. Given a print, the student will determine the speed of the conveyors.
  3. Given final exam questions, the student will identify the material carried by the conveyor.

                                                 

Outcome 3: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to describe and properly apply the use of monorail conveyors, both overhead and floor mounted.

Objectives:                         

  1. Given a print, the student will locate the floor mounted monorail conveyor and determine its flow.
  2. Given a print, the student will locate the overhead monorail conveyor and determine its flow.
  3. Given a print, the student will identify all the moving components.
  4. Given a print, the student will determine the speed of the conveyors.
  5. Given final exam questions, the student will identify the material carried by the conveyor.

                                                 

Outcome 4: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to properly apply the techniques of conveyor layout for all types of systems.

Objectives:                         

  1. Given an industrial floor plan, the student will lay out a floor mounted monorail conveyor system.
  2. Given an industrial floor plan, the student will lay out an overhead monorail conveyor system.

                                                 

Outcome 5: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to describe and apply the needs for power and type conveyor systems.

Objectives:                         

  1. Given final exam questions, the student will identify three reasons why companies use power and free conveyor systems.
  2. Given a conveyor layout and final exam questions, the student will identify which part of the system is power and which is free.
