3.00 Credits
Individual research or special problem projects supervised by a faculty member, also, when a student and instructor agree on a subject matter, content, and credit hours. Prerequisite: "Independent Study" form must be completed and submitted to the Registrar. Variable credit; 1 to 6 credit hours. Repeatable for credit under different topic/experience.
-
3.00 Credits
Overview and introduction to the science and engineering of intelligent mobile robotics and robotic manipulators. Covers guidance and force sensing, perception of the environment around a mobile vehicle, reasoning about the environment to identify obstacles and guidance path features and adaptively controlling and monitoring the vehicle health. A lesser emphasis is placed on robot manipulator kinematics, dynamics, and force and tactile sensing. Surveys manipulator and intelligent mobile robotics research and development. Introduces principles and concepts of guidance, position, and force sensing; vision data processing; basic path and trajectory planning algorithms; and force and position control. Prerequisite: CSCI261 and DCGN381. 2 hours lecture; 1 hour lab; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
This course includes the study of thermodynamic relations, Clapeyron equation, mixtures and solutions, Gibbs function, combustion processes, first and second law applied to reacting systems, third law of thermodynamics, real combustion processes, equilibrium of multicomponent systems, simultaneous chemical reactions of real combustion processes, ionization, overview of the major characteristics of spark-ignition and compression-ignition engines, define parameters used to describe engine operation, develop the necessary thermodynamic and combustion theory required for a quantitative analysis of engine behavior, develop an integrated treatment of the various methods of analyzing idealized models of internal combustion engine cycles, and finally summarize how operating characteristics of spark-ignition and compressionignition engine depend on the major engine design and operating variables. Prerequisite: EGGN371, EGGN471. 3 hours lecture; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the principles of mechanical design. Methods for determining static, fatigue and surface failure are presented. Analysis and selection of machine components such as shafts, keys, couplings, bearings, gears, springs, power screws, and fasteners is covered. Prerequisites: EPIC251, EGGN315, EGGN 320, and EGGN413. 3 hours lecture, 3 hours lab; 4 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces the student to the concept of computer- aided engineering. The major objective is to provide the student with the necessary background to use the computer as a tool for engineering analysis and design. The Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method and associated computational engineering software have become significant tools in engineering analysis and design. This course is directed to learning the concepts of FEA and its application to civil and mechanical engineering analysis and design. Note that critical evaluation of the results of a FEA using classical methods (from statics and mechanics of materials) and engineering judgment is employed throughout the course. Prerequisite: EGGN320. 3 hours lecture; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Control system design with an emphasis on observer-based methods, from initial open-loop experiments to final implementation. The course begins with an overview of feedback control design technique from the frequency domain perspective, including sensitivity and fundamental limitations. State space realization theory is introduced, and system identification methods for parameter estimation are introduced. Computerbased methods for control system design are presented. Prerequisite: EGGN307. 3 lecture hours, 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
General theories of stress and strain; stress and strain transformations, principal stresses and strains, octahedral shear stresses, Hooke's law for isotropic material, and failure criteria. Introduction to elasticity and to energy methods. Torsion of noncircular and thin-walled members. Unsymmetrical bending and shear-center, curved beams, and beams on elastic foundations. Introduction to plate theory. Thick-walled cylinders and contact stresses. Prerequisite: EGGN320, EGGN413. 3 hours lecture; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is intended to provide engineering students with an introduction to musculoskeletal biomechanics. At the end of the semester, students should have a working knowledge of the special considerations necessary to apply engineering principles to the human body. The course will focus on the biomechanics of injury since understanding injury will require developing an understanding of normal biomechanics. Prerequisite: DCGN241, EGGN320, EGGN325/BELS325, or instructor permission. 3 hours lecture; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Prosthetics and implants for the musculoskeletal and other systems of the human body are becoming increasingly sophisticated. From simple joint replacements to myoelectric limb replacements and functional electrical stimulation, the engineering opportunities continue to expand. This course builds on musculoskeletal biomechanics and other BELS courses to provide engineering students with an introduction to prosthetics and implants for the musculoskeletal system. At the end of the semester, students should have a working knowledge of the challenges and special considerations necessary to apply engineering principles to augmentation or replacement in the musculoskeletal system. Prerequisites: EGGN/BELS425 or EGES/BELS525. 3 hours lecture; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Computational Biomechanics provides an introduction to the application of computer simulation to solve some fundamental problems in biomechanics and bioengineering. Musculoskeletal mechanics, medical image reconstruction, hard and soft tissue modeling, joint mechanics, and inter-subject variability will be considered. An emphasis will be placed on understanding the limitations of the computer model as a predictive tool and the need for rigorous verification and validation of computational techniques. Clinical application of biomechanical modeling tools is highlighted and impact on patient quality of life is demonstrated. Prerequisites: EGGN413, EGGN325. 3 hours lecture, 3 semester hours.
