1.00 Credits
Focuses on conversion design of a naval ship. A new mission requirement is defined, requiring significant modification to an existing ship. Involves requirements setting, design plan formulation and design philosophy, and employs formal decision-making methods. Technical aspects demonstrate feasibility and desirability. Includes formal written and verbal reports and team projects.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: 2.703
-
0.00 - 6.00 Credits
Focus on preliminary design of a new naval ship, fulfilling a given set of mission requirements. Design plan formulation, system level trade-off studies, emphasizes achieving a balanced design and total system integration. Formal written and oral reports. Team projects extend over three terms.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: 2.704
-
2.00 Credits
Introduction to the acoustic interaction of submerged structures with the surrounding fluid. Fluid and elastic wave equations. Elastic waves in plates. Radiation and scattering from planar structures as well as curved structures such as spheres and cylinders. Acoustic imaging of structural vibrations. Students can take 2.085 in the second half of term.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: 2.066
-

Prerequisite:
Prereq: Physics II (GIR); 18.03; 2.004 or permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to optical science with elementary engineering applications. Geometrical optics: ray-tracing, aberrations, lens design, apertures and stops, radiometry and photometry. Wave optics: basic electrodynamics, polarization, interference, wave-guiding, Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction, image formation, resolution, space-bandwidth product. Emphasis on analytical and numerical tools used in optical design. Graduate students are required to complete additional assignments with stronger analytical content, and an advanced design project.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Physics II (GIR); 18.03; 2.004 or permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces the theory and the design of optical microscopy and its applications in biology and medicine. The course starts from an overview of basic optical principles allowing an understanding of microscopic image formation and common contrast modalities such as dark field, phase, and DIC. Advanced microscopy imaging techniques such as total internal reflection, confocal, and multiphoton will also be discussed. Quantitative analysis of biochemical microenvironment using spectroscopic techniques based on fluorescence, second harmonic, Raman signals will be covered. We will also provide an overview of key image processing techniques for microscopic data.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Theory and practice of optical methods in engineering and system design. Emphasis on diffraction, statistical optics, holography, and imaging. Provides engineering methodology skills necessary to incorporate optical components in systems serving diverse areas such as precision engineering and metrology, bio-imaging, and computing (sensors, data storage, communication in multi-processor systems). Experimental demonstrations and a design project are included.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: 2.710 or permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Advanced subject on modeling, design, integration and best practices for use of machine elements, such as bearings, springs, gears, cams and mechanisms. Modeling and analysis of these elements is based upon extensive application of physics, mathematics and core mechanical engineering principles (solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, manufacturing, estimation, and modeling). These principles are reinforced via laboratory experiences, wherein students conduct experiments and disassemble machines, and a substantial design project wherein students model, design, fabricate and characterize a mechanical system that is relevant to a real-world application. Students master the materials via problem sets that are directly related to, and coordinated with, the deliverables of their project. Student assessment based upon mastery of the subject materials and the student's ability to synthesize, model and fabricate a mechanical device subject to engineering constraints (e.g. cost and time/schedule). Enrollment limited.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: 2.005, 2.007; Coreq: 2.671
-
3.00 Credits
Addresses problems faced by underserved communities with a focus on design, experimentation, and prototyping processes. Particular attention placed on constraints faced when designing for developing countries. Multidisciplinary teams work on long-term projects in collaboration with community partners, field practitioners, and experts in relevant fields. Topics covered include design for affordability, manufacture, sustainability, and strategies for working effectively with community partners and customers. Students may continue projects begun in SP.721. Enrollment limited by lottery; must attend first class.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: 2.670 or permission of the instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to designing mechatronic systems, which require integration of the mechanical and electrical engineering disciplines within a unified framework. Significant laboratory-based design experiences form subject's core. Final project. Topics include: low-level interfacing of software with hardware; use of high-level graphical programming tools to implement real-time computation tasks; digital logic; analog interfacing and power amplifiers; measurement and sensing; electromagnetic and optical transducers; control of mechatronic systems. Limited to 20.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: 6.071 or 6.002; 2.14, 6.302, or 16.30
