Engineering Processes Class Engineering Processes – ENGR 1300 Course Objective: Engineering Processes is a course designed to allow the student a knowledge, understanding, and exposure to the most common tools, methods, and machines used in most engineering fields. Between the two available projects, a catapult or a cannon, I chose the cannon because I though it would be more exciting and challenging. Included in the course there were also small labs were we made small random projects by welding (metal and plastic) and brazing. CANNON PROJECT Barrel & Base Objective: The purpose of this section in the course was to build an aluminum model of a typical naval cannon. In this processes, we would familiarize ourselves with machines such as the vertical miller, lathe, drill press, band saw, and horizontal miller. I learned how to operate the equipment safely completed the steps with instruction when needed. Procedure: I obtained a laboratory manual which outlined the entire procedure for the production of both the cannon and the catapult. It gave me step by step procedures, and measurements needed to complete the cannon. At the beginning of the project, the professor provided us with an aluminum block for the base, and an aluminum stock for the barrel.
