  • MEAM 405: Mechanical Properties of Macro/Nanoscale Materials

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    The application of continuum and microstructural concepts to consideration of the mechanics and mechanisms of flow and fracture in metals, polymers and ceramics. The course includes a review of tensors and elasticity with special emphasis on the effects of symmetry on tensor properties. Then deformation, fracture and degradation (fatique and wear) are treated, including mapping strategies for understanding the ranges of material properties.

  • MEAM 410: Design of Mechatronic Systems

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Prerequisite(s): Junior or Senior standing in MEAM and a first course in Programming. In many modern systems, mechanical elements are tightly coupled with electronic components and embedded computers. Mechatronics is the study of how these domains are interconnected, and this hands-on, project-based course provides an integrated introduction to the fundamental components within each of the three domains, including: mechanical elements (prototyping, materials, actuators and sensors, transmissions, and fundamental kinematics), electronics(basic circuits, filters, op amps, discrete logic, and interfacing with mechanielements), and computing (interfacing with the analog world, microprocessor technology, basic control theory, and programming).

  • MEAM 415: Product Design

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    This course provides tools and methods for creating new products. The course is intended for students with a strong career interest in new product development, entrepreneurship, and/or technology development. The course follows an overall product methodology, including the identification of customer needs, generation of product concepts, prototyping, and design-for-manufacturing. Weekly student assignments are focused on the design of a new product and culminate in the creation of a prototype. The course is open to juniors and seniors in SEAS or Wharton.

  • MEAM 420: Robotics

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Prerequisite(s): MATH 240, PHYS 150 or MEAM 110/147. The rapidly evolving field of robotics includes systems designed to replace, assist, or even entertain humans in a wide variety of tasks. Recent examples include planetary rovers, robotic pets, medical surgical-assistive devices, and semiautonomous search-and-rescue vehicles. This introductory-level course presents the fundamental kinematic, dynamic, and computational principles underlying most modern robotic systems. The main topics of the course include: coordinate transformations, manipulator kinematics, mobile-robot kinematics, actuation and sensing, feedback control, vision, motion planning, and learning. The material is reinforced with hands-on lab exercises including basic robot- arm control and the programming of vision-guided mobile robots

  • MEAM 445: Mechanical Engineering Design Projects

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Prerequisite(s): Junior standing. This is a capstone design project course in mechanical engineering and is required of all mechanical engineering students. Students will be involved in selected group or individual projects emphasizing design, development, and experimentation, under the supervision of a MEAM faculty advisor. Projects are sponsored either by industry or by Penn professors. Alternatively, students may propose their own projects. Each project is approved by the instructor and the faculty advisor. The work is spread over MEAM 445 and MEAM 446. In addition to being involved in the design project, MEAM 445 covers project planning, patent and library searches, professional education, ethics, writing skills, communication, and technical presentation.
