3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ME 439 and graduating senior status. This is a capstone design course that prepares students for entry-level positions. In this course, each student works on an independent engineering project under the supervision of a faculty advisor. Students apply the design process and communicate the results of their project work in both an oral and written form. Oral reports are presented before an assembly of faculty and students. Students apply engineering design principles either by working on a product, improving a product, or designing experiments to investigate causes of either an observed phenomenon or a problem in engineering. Students are required to demonstrate their achievements using appropriate laboratory exhibits. Students who select industry-sponsored projects have the opportunity of working with the industrial advisor in an actual engineering environment. The assessment in this course is based on the students' level of commitment demonstrated throughout the semester, the level of achievement attained in the project, the recording of activities in a log book, and the quality of the written report and oral presentation. Meeting hours by arrangement. 3 cr.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ME 417 or concurrently; and senior standing. This advanced course is offered to mechanical engineering majors. Students learn to use computational methods and numerical techniques in conjunction with spreadsheet packages to solve practical engineering problems encountered in solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, dynamics, machine design, measurements and vibrations. The development of computer algorithms/macros for either design or analysis is also emphasized. Students use case studies to investigate problems requiring a multidisciplinary approach. A total of 10 computer projects will be assigned. Each student is expected to work on two independent design projects and submit a final written report for each project. The methods of assessing students include computer assignments and the design projects. 3 cr.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: ME 303, ME 316, and ME 417 or concurrently. This course is an introduction to the theory and application of various alternative energy systems, including solar, wind, fuel cells, geothermal, and ocean waves. Students will become familiar with calculating the thermal performance of various alternative energy systems, and learn the various limitations and practical examples where each is used. A project involving the design of an energy independent home is assigned. The methods of assessing students include homework, quizzes, examinations, classroom discussions, a design project, and a final exam. 3 cr.

3.00 Credits
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.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Junior or senior standing in Engineering. Noise has become a major factor in influencing the marketability and competitiveness of industrial products such as cars and washing machines. In addition many products are required to satisfy strict legal and regulatory noise limits, e.g. aircraft take off noise. This course introduces to engineering students the fundaments of acoustics, vibrations, and noise control. It then uses these principles in designing effective noise-control solutions to common engineering problems. Students will learn the effects of noise on people. Students will perform several laboratory and field experiments. Several case studies encompassing contemporary design problems from industry are used in the classroom to enhance the learning process. An individual design project using these methods is assigned. The method of assessing students includes classroom participation, homework assignments, examinations, and a final exam. 3 cr.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: ME 304, ME 316. This is a study of fluid machinery design. Topics include boundary layer theory; procedures for analyzing fluid flow losses; compressible flow effects; design concepts and analyses for airfoils, airfoil cascades, compressors, and turbines; model testing and evaluation; and introduction to gas turbine analysis and design. A design project involving the use of analytical and experimental methods is required. The methods of assessing students include homework, quizzes, examinations, classroom discussions, a design project, and a final exam. 3 cr.
