4.00 Credits
Covers kinematics and dynamics of robot manipulators, including the development of kinematics equations of manipulators, the inverse kinematics problem, and motion trajectories. Employs Lagrangian mechanics to cover dynamics of manipulators for the purpose of control. Covers control and programming of robots, steady state errors, calculations of servoparameters, robot vision systems and algorithms, as well as imaging techniques and the concept of mobile robots.
-
4.00 Credits
Covers concepts in design and control of electromechanical systems. Topics include review of continuous-time system modeling and dynamic response; principles of feedback, classical control analysis, and design techniques, such as root locus and frequency response; dynamic analysis, design, and control of robots and electromechanical systems; kinematics and dynamics of multi-input, multi-output rigid body systems; inverse kinematics, inverse dynamics, and computed torque control; adaptive and learning control; and introduction to digital implementation of control algorithms.

4.00 Credits
Examines the field of computer-aided design. Introduces the concepts of 3D geometric modeling of mechanical parts and assemblies. Covers the fundamentals of curves and surfaces that are utilized to create "real" parts that have complex shapes. Covers the concepts of parametric solid modeling that are utilized by all commercial CAD/CAM systems. Includes solid modeling techniques such as linear/nonlinear sweep, CSG, and B-rep. Introduces the basics of geometric relations and constraints. Shows how to create assemblies from individual parts. Covers CAD/CAM applications such as mass properties, mechanical tolerances, finite element modeling and analysis, and CNC tool path generation. A commercial CAD/CAM system is used to provide students with hands-on experience in a lab setting to master the concepts covered in the course.

4.00 Credits
Emphasizes the quantitative analysis of human musculoskeletal system statics and dynamics, including gait analysis and estimation of the complex loads on human joint systems, in part one. Investigates how the form of connective tissue and bone is derived from function in part two. Integral to this investigation is a quantitative analysis of the material properties of bone, ligament, tendon, and cartilage. Students form groups in part three and select a relevant, current topic in musculoskeletal biomechanics to investigate and present results to the class.
-
4.00 Credits
Focuses on the multiscale mechanical behavior of biological tissues. The mechanical integrity of a single cell depends on the mechanical properties and geometrical arrangements of the fiber network in the extracellular matrix. Introduces the statistical concept of persistent length and entanglement of long-chain polymer molecules, linear elasticity and viscoelasticity, membrane undulations, stability of vesicles. Discusses the intersurface forces that cause cells to adhere and to form microscopic, mesoscopic, and macroscopic two-dimensional membranes and three-dimensional structures. Introduces experimental techniques and measurements involving atomic force microscope, surface force apparatus, optical tweezers, micropipette aspiration. Provides examples for specific physiological and path-physiological phenomena related to mechanical and adhesion behavior of cells and membranes.
-
4.00 Credits
Presents the concepts and theories of operation of internal combustion engines based upon the fundamental engineering sciences of thermodynamics, gas dynamics, heat transfer, and mechanics. Discusses the design and operating characteristics of conventional spark-ignition, compression-ignition, Wankel, and stratified charge. Explores the relationship between vehicle load and engine load through differential and transmission gear-ratio selections. Includes laboratory experiments.

4.00 Credits
Focuses on the design and operating characteristics of thermal energy systems such as steam power plants, gas turbines, fuel cells or heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems. Reviews selected topics in thermofluids as needed, and introduces new topics such as reacting mixtures and combustion, chemical energy and chemical equilibrium, one-dimensional internal compressible flow through nozzles and diffusers, and normal shock waves. These topics are then applied to the energy systems under study.
