Title: Compare the use of threaded fasteners and non-threaded fasteners.
Course: Mechatronics I (13901-I) > Section: Understanding Tools Used in Mechatronics

Comparison could include identifying various types of fasteners, such as

- bolts and screws
- nuts
- anchors
- rivets
- cotter pins
- retaining rings.

Comparison could also include

- grades of bolts
- identification systems (e.g., Unified National Coarse/Unified National Fine/National Pipe Taper [UNC/UNF/NPT]).

Process/Skill Questions:

- What factors help determine which fastener to use for a specific application?
- How are fasteners classified and identified?
- How can fasteners which create friction be differentiated from those that do not?
