-
3.00 Credits
This course provides students with an understanding ofmaterials as grouped systems, as well as familiarization with enough specific engineeringmaterials to allow their effective use in daily assignments. The course also illustrates guidelines for screening candidatematerials and arriving at reasonable choices. (prereq:ME-323)
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides students with knowledge of polymers that are commonly used and of how the physical andmechanical properties of thesematerials influence their selection. Also, the relation between fabrication processes andmaterial selections in design is presented. (prereq:ME 321 or equivalent)
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces the student to themechanical behavior of fiber-reinforced composite materials. Topics to be covered include anisotropic stress-strain relationships, failure theories, and stress analysis of plates and shells. Differentmanufacturingmethods and applications will be presented. Laboratory exercises include computermodeling of composite laminate performance andmechanical property testing of laminates. (prereq:ME-207 orMT-205)
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to automatic controls used inmechanical engineering applications, including fluid power. Differential equations are used tomodel and analyze basic feedback control systems. Laboratory experiments are done using fluid power and electronic equipment. (prereq:ME-300)
-
4.00 Credits
This course extends the concepts of feedback control to the design and realization of electromechanical systems. Topics will includemodeling, simulation, and digital implementations of control algorithms. The course will include an electromechanical systems design project. (prereq:ME-431)
-
4.00 Credits
This course serves as an introduction to finite element analysis (FEA) for structural problems. In the lecture portion of the course, finite element equations are developed for several element types fromequilibriumand energy approaches and used to solve simple problems. In the laboratory portion, students use a commercial, general-purpose finite element computer programto solvemore complex problems and learn several guidelines for use of FEA in practice. A project introduces the use of FEA in the iterative design process. (prereq:ME-309)
-
3.00 Credits
This course considers the operating principles and performance of standard fluid power components such as pumps,motors, valves, cylinders, etc. Using standard components, appropriate circuits are designed and calculationsmade tomatch components with operating conditions in typical industrial applications. Hydrostatic transmissions, cavitation, accumulators, pump controls for energy conservation, hydraulic fluids and filtration are also covered. (prereq:ME-317)
-
2.00 Credits
This course focuses on the continued development of analyticalmethods as applied to hydraulic components and circuits. Steady-state and limited transient performance of pumps, valves, accumulators,motors, and cylinders as components and systems are addressed (i.e. functional, steady state and dynamic). Linear and non-linearmodels for pumps,motors, and valves are also developed and applied to systems analysis. Laboratory sessions are included to relatemodel predictions to actual component performance. (prereq:ME-471)
-
3.00 Credits
In this course students design a specific type ofmachine tomeet a developed set of specifications. Themachine will have a substantial hydraulics content along with electronic interfaces that provide control and sensing. The project usually includes hardware fabrication to provide the student with real-life problems associated with this activity. Tasks include component sizing and selection, systems design, integration withmechanical and electrical systems, and human factors considerations. The open-ended designs are evaluated based on originality, accuracy, safety and written/oral presentations. (prereq:ME-471 or consent of the instructor)
-
3.00 Credits
This course exploresmajor elements in the design of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems. Topics include psychrometric analysis, load estimation, duct/piping design, equipment selection, and energy consumption estimating. Students are required to design elements of HVAC systems, resulting in an understanding of the entire process. (prereq:ME-416)
