3.00 Credits
A comprehensive course in the field of mechatronics. Mechatronics is the cross- roads in engineering where mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, and controls engineering meet to create new and exciting real-world systems. Knowledge of mechanical and electrical components, controls theory, and design are integrated to solve actual physical design applications.
-
3.00 Credits
The fundamental laws of fluid mechanics are used to develop the characteristic forces and moments generated by the flow about aerodynamic bodies. Physical properties of the standard atmosphere as well as lift, drag, and aerodynamic moments are studied for airfoils (2-D) and finite wings (3-D) in the subsonic and supersonic flow regimes. Students conduct computer simulations throughout the course to observe the physics of actual flows.

3.00 Credits
The course applies the principles developed in applied aerodynamics to develop the equations of motion for a rigid aircraft in steady state level flight, maneuvering flight, and during takeoff and landing. These equations are analyzed to determine such performance characteristics as maximum range, endurance, turning rate, climb rate, etc. Piston-prop, turbo-prop, and jet aircraft are considered. The equations of motion are then analyzed to develop static stability criteria and investigate steady state control characteristics. Design constraints based on customer requirements, mission profiles, aircraft sizing, optimization, and presentation of performance capabilities are considered.
-
3.00 Credits
Application of basic principles in the study of the performance characteristics of air and space vehicles to include the aerodynamics of steady one dimensional isentropic compressible flow. Shock waves, gas turbines, turbojet, turbofan, turboprop, turboshaft, ram jet, rocket, nuclear propulsion and space propulsion systems are discussed and compared.
-
3.00 Credits
In this course students develop a foundation in the analysis and design of free and forced single and multi-degree of freedom systems. Applications include modeling, damping, resonance, force transmissibility, vibration absorbers, matrix formulation and modal analysis. Emphasis is placed on vibration examples from several engineering fields. Out-of-class design problems provide students with the opportunity to apply principles taught in the classroom to realistic problems encountered by practicing engineers. In-class demonstrations supplement the theory development.
-
3.00 Credits
Applies the principles of mechanics to the structural analysis of mechanical and aerospace components. Covers stress tensors, shear flow in open and closed sections, beam columns, asymmetrical bending, Castigliano's theorem, statically indeterminate structures, thin walled pressure vessels, introduction to elasticity.
-
3.00 Credits
Design projects with industry. Students work in teams with three or four mem- bers on design projects furnished from external clients. The emphasis is on creating design solutions, with appropriate analyses, to meet stakeholders' needs. In addition to regular meetings with their faculty advisors, the teams are expected to maintain close and continuous communications with their clients during the semester. The projects culminate in oral presentations and Interim Written Reports which are submitted to the clients.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of MECH 481. The student teams continue their design solutions to a general problem furnished by an external client. Continuous and regular communication with the outside clients is expected, as well as with the faculty advisors. During this semester the teams continue refining their solutions, complete the detail design, make oral presentations of the final design, and complete and submit the Final Written Report.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides in-depth study of a special topic in engineering mechanics or mechanical engineering not offered elsewhere in the curriculum. Course content will be based on the special expertise of the Visiting Professor or a senior mechanical engineering faculty member.
-
3.00 Credits
The student, on an individual basis, pursues advanced understanding by working for a mechanical engineering company. The scope of the activities is tailored to the educational focus of the student in consultation with the faculty advisor and the supervisor at the company. The student is required to provide weekly journal- ing, monthly supervisor evaluations, a final presentation, and a final report on the experience. LESSONS and LABS: No formal class. Consultation with Department Faculty Advisor at least once a week on individual work accomplished
