3.00 Credits
Students desiring to take Honors in Mathematics should inform their department advisers early in the second semester of the junior year. Honors work involves a guided program of independent study culminating in a thesis on a topic to be selected by the student in consultation with his or her adviser and approved by the department.

3.00 Credits
This course introduces techniques in computer-aided design (CAD) and manufacturing as applied to mechanical components and systems. Manufacturing processes, their underlying physical phenomena, and their relevance to mechanical design are studied. Laboratory work includes the drawing and construction of a pre-designed me- chanical system using CAD, conventional fabrication techniques, and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). All course topics are applied to the design, construction, and competition of a major group project. Lecture/laboratory. Corequisite: ME 240; Math 264 Offered: Spring semester Staff
-
3.00 Credits
Particle and rigid body kinematics and kinetics. Work, energy, and power. Linear impulse and momentum, angular impulse and momentum, impact. Prerequisite: ES 226; Math 263; Offered: Spring semester Staff
-
3.00 Credits
Engineering instrumentation is introduced and further examined in the laboratory. The fundamental concepts of measurement error, calibration, statistical and uncertainty analysis, signal conditioning, and computer-based data acquisition are covered. Emphasis is on measurement techniques used for quantities of particular importance to the mechnical engineer, which include temperature, pressure, flow rate, displacement, speed, force, strain, torque, and power. The fundamentals of DC circuits and electrical instrumentation are also covered. Prerequisite: ES 230 Offered: Fall semester Staff
-
3.00 Credits
Processes used to manufacture/fabricate products from metals and alloys, ceramics and glasses to polymers and composites. Different types and uses of materials from each group are discussed. Also included are properties and behavior of these materials as they affect manufacturing methods, and effects of different processes on properties and performance of manufactured products. Prerequisite: ES 231 or permission of instructor. Staff
-
3.00 Credits
The study of the basic concepts and laws of thermodynamics applicable to all types of thermodynamic systems. Prerequisite: Chemistry 121, Physics 131, Math 264 Offered: Fall semester Staff
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the basic laws of thermodynamics and heat transfer with selected applications to engineering systems or devices. For non-mechanical engineering majors. Prerequisite: Chemistry 121, Physics 131, Math 263 Offered: Fall semester Staff
-
3.00 Credits
Dynamic physical systems are modeled as networks of interacting energetic elements. Analogies are drawn between mechanical, fluid, electrical, and hybrid systems. Systems are represented using single ordinary differential equations, state-space, and transfer functions. AC and DC circuits and electromechanical systems are analyzed. Prerequisite: Mathematics 264; ME 331 Offered: Spring semester Staff
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the design/selection of mechanical components such as shafts, bearings, gears, fasteners, springs, clutches, brakes, and joints. Students apply closed form and finite element methods of stress and deflection analysis to the determination of component geometry and the selection of materials. Students are introduced to fatique analysis and statistics as design methods. Prerequisite: ES 230; Math 264 Offered: Fall semester Staff
-
3.00 Credits
The application of thermodynamic principles to the study of gas and steam power cycles, refrigeration cycles, mixtures, compressible flow, and combustion and chemical reactions. Introduction to advanced thermodynamic theory. Prerequisite: ME 350 Offered: Spring semester Staff
