  • MCAE 200: Statics

    3.00 Credits
    Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania

    Statics is the analysis of forces acting on physical systems that remain at rest. Students will extend their knowledge of classical mechanics and calculus to two and three dimensional systems of particles and rigid bodies. The goal of this course is to study mechanical systems that must hold their shape or position under some sort of load, such as frames, structures, beams, trusses, and cables. Prerequisite:    MATH 212 (Grade of C or Higher) or PHYS 206 (Grade of C or Higher)

  • MCAE 220: Fluids

    4.00 Credits
    Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania

    Fluid Mechanics is the study of the flow of fluids. This course extends the topics of statics and dynamics to fluids. Topics include dimensional analysis, density, viscosity, surface tension, control volume analysis, differential fluid flow, laminar and turbulent flow, and a study of flow in pipes.

  • MCAE 230: Mechanics of Materials

    4.00 Credits
    Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania

    After learning the basic concepts of stress and strain, this course examines how machines and frames perform under various modes of loading and deformation, such as, axial, bending, torsion, buckling; as well as, combined loading commonly encountered in machine elements. Topics also include plane stress analysis, statically indeterminate structures, pressure vessels, stress intensity factor, temperature effect, fatigue and creep loading. Emphasis then shifts to failure modes and theories applicable to machine design. Students are encouraged to implement computer simulations to analyze the machine components under complex loading scenarios that may be difficult to solve by hand.

  • MCAE 300: Engineering Materials

    3.00 Credits
    Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania

    This course examines how materials perform under different types of mechanical loads. This includes deformation, yielding, fracture, fatigue, and wear. The course also analyzes how materials change with heat, age, and repeated loading. Students will learn about possible failure modes and develop maximum safety specifications. Students will learn about the basic materials science that influences materials the properties of materials. Students will also learn how to engineer different materials to meet design specifications. Prerequisite:    MCAE 200 (Grade of C or Higher)

  • MCAE 310: Manufacturing Processes

    4.00 Credits
    Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania

    Introduces the fundamental processes for manufacturing parts. This includes forming, forging, cutting, welding, joining, gluing, casting of materials including metals, plastics, and other materials. Other topics include rapid prototyping methods, including CNC machines, 3D printing technologies, and composite materials. Prerequisite:    MCAE 300 (Grade of C or Higher)

  • MCAE 320: Machine Dynamics

    4.00 Credits
    Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania

    This course is divided into two intimately related topics that are most relevant to machine design, namely, vibrations and dynamic balancing. Students will learn about various sources of vibrations; analyze single and multiple degrees of freedom vibration; perform analytical and experimental analysis leading to natural frequencies and associated mode shapes; analyze free and forced as well as damped and undamped vibration; and study various vibration isolation methodologies relevant to machines. Finally, concepts, such as, static and dynamic unbalance and dynamic balancing of linkages, machines and engines will be elucidated.

  • MCAE 400: Design Methods

    4.00 Credits
    Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania

    This course is designed to provide a mechanical design experience, moving from general product ideas to completed product. The course is structured around a series of design experiences, moving from user descriptions through design documents, actual design and simulation, user-acceptance, production plans, and final delivery. Students will learn about the different phases of the design process, how to select materials for a project, differences between developing a prototype versus preparing for efficient mass-production, how test and verify the component complies with its design specifications.

  • MCAE 420: Machine Design

    3.00 Credits
    Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania

    This course is focused on the analysis and design of machine elements, such as, fasteners, springs, shafts, bearings, brakes, clutches, gears, belts, chains and pulleys, etc. The general analysis and design guidelines and procedures are elucidated. The inverse iterative processes in design are emphasized. Computer simulations are implemented in various phases of the design process. Students also learn that design is an affair regulated by the industry and state sponsored engineering standards; thus, each product design must end with ensuring compliance with the manufacturer guidelines and design codes. This class is not available for graduate credit. Prerequisite:    MCAE 320 (Grade of C or Higher) and MCAE 300 (Grade of C or Higher)
