ME 449 - Computer-Aided Engineering

Institution:

Western New England University

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite: Senior Standing. This course is offered to all engineering majors. Students learn the fundamentals of conceptual design and engineering analysis/simulation. Computer hardware and software required to perform solid modeling and finite element analysis are presented. Commercial software packages such as SDRC Master Series and Fluent are used during the laboratory sessions to provide students with hands-on experience related to the concepts learned during class lectures. Students will use these commercial tools to generate solid models and import the geometry into the simulation module to perform finite element analysis or design optimization. Each student will complete 14 solid modeling and finite element assignments outside of the class and laboratory periods. Additionally, each student will work on an independent design project and submit a final written report. The methods of assessing students include computer assignments, performance during laboratory sessions, and the design project. One class hour and three hours lab. 3 cr.
