4.00 Credits
3.5 hours lecture, 1.5 hours lab Prerequisites: MNE 231 Discussion and comparison of manufacturing processes for economy of production; and modifications to proposed designs to suit existing equipment. Material selection to suit production and service requirements is covered along with economics of automation and inventory control. Basic principles of the statistics and probability theory as applied to quality control of manufacturing process are discussed. Machining operations using conventional and modern machine tools are covered in addition to other manufacturing demonstrations.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours lecture Prerequisites: MNE 252 Comprehensive survey of the analytical design methods that are valuable to mechanical engineers. Some of the areas covered are: stress analysis, fatigue, stress concentration, design of curved beams, selection of standardized elements, and lubrication. The objective of the course is to enable the student to handle design problems with confidence and assurance.
-
3.00 Credits
Conditions and hours to be arranged Prerequisites: Permission of the instructor, department chairperson, and college dean Study under the supervision of a faculty member in an area covered in a regular course not currently being offered. Lecture/laboratory arranged as required.
-
0.00 - 9.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Senior standing Experiential learning in conjunction with an industrial or governmental agency project under the joint supervision of an outside sponsor and a faculty advisor. To be eligible, a student should have completed the junior-year courses. A detailed project proposal must be prepared by the student for departmental approval prior to the start of the project. Typically, three credits will be assigned. Based upon the determination of the advisor and sponsor, the learning component shall be at least 100 hours out of the total work hours. Up to six credits may be assigned for exceptional projects that extend over two semesters. MNE 400 may be used to satisfy one 3-credit technical elective course.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours lecture Prerequisites: MNE 332, EGR 301 Principles of heat conduction, forced and free convection and thermal radiation, and their application to various engineering problems. Mass transfer and its analogy to heat transfer phenomena are sketched. Special problems, such as boiling and condensation, heat transfer in high speed flow, and fire propagation are introduced. Mathematical analysis motivated by physical reasoning is emphasized.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: MNE 252, 332, 411 Mechanical Engineering applications of Thermodynamics, Fluid Dynamics, and Heat Transfer. The design and operation of thermal engineering systems and components, including heat exchangers, thermal engines and refrigeration systems are considered from the combined mechanics of materials, heat transfer, fluid dynamic and thermodynamic point of view. Design optimization of components to minimize energy destruction/entropy generation are studied along with economic considerations. The course includes a thermal design project.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours lecture Prerequisites: MNE 321, 332, ECE 212, consent of instructor An introduction to various energy resources, followed by a description of the use of chemical potential energy, nuclear energy and solar energy, the analysis and design criteria for various energy conversion devices, such as generators, transformers, motors, power distribution systems, solar cells, and so on. Understanding of working principles and essential design conditions is emphasized.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours lecture Prerequisites: MNE 321, Recommended pre-req MNE 411 Theory as a basis for plant design and equipment selection. Practical design calculations including heat balance are carried out. Fossil- and nuclear-fueled plants as well as gas turbine and hydroelectric plants are studied. The economics of alternatives is discussed.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours lecture Prerequisites: MNE 332, consent of instructor Basic equations of fluid mechanics, applied to quasi one-dimensional, compressible flows, including: isentropic flows with area changes, Fanno and Rayleigh flows, and normal shock waves. Two-dimensional flow fields are studied using Prandtl-Meyer expansion and oblique shock waves. The basic concepts are applied to selected topics such as: aircraft and rocket propulsion, combustion chambers in jets and rockets, wind tunnels and shock tubes, supersonic diffusers, and flow about supersonic airfoils.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours lecture Prerequisites: MNE 321, 431, consent of instructor The mechanics and thermodynamics of airborne propulsion systems. Thrust equations and efficiencies are derived from first principles and applied to a variety of systems. Airbreathing engines that are discussed include ramjets, turbojets, turbofans, and turboprops. The aero-thermodynamics of inlets and nozzles is presented. The course concludes with an introduction to rocket propulsion, including the identification and classification of types of rocket systems, fundamental definitions and derivations, and rocket dynamics.
