-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course builds on the technical foundations established in MAE 321, and extends the scope to include a range of advanced mechanism design. Students, working in teams, will be challenged to design and fabricate a robotic system that will draw upon multidisciplinary engineering elements. The robot will be used to facilitate common daily tasks. The selected tasks vary each year. CAD, CAE, and CAM will be utilized in the design/simulation/prototype process. Labs are designed to reinforce and expand CAD and CAE skills. A final public competition will be held among the design teams. Judges from relevant industries will be present.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Provides the materials background needed to satisfy the department requirement in this area. Relates properties of metals, alloys, polymers, composite materials, semiconductors, and ceramics to their atomic level and microscopic structure. Relates special materials properties to their exploitation in advanced technology and will illustrate this with specific examples.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course addresses, in technical detail, the challenge of changing the future global energy system to accommodate environmental constraints. Energy production strategies are emphasized, including renewable energy, solar, wind, nuclear fission and fusion, the capture and storage of fossil-fuel carbon, and energy storage strategies. Efficient energy use is also considered, as well as intersections of energy with economic development, international security, local environmental quality, and human behavior and values.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Introduction to the performance, stability, and control of aircraft. Fundamentals of configuration aerodynamics. Methods for analyzing the dynamics of physical systems. Characterization of modes of motion and desirable flying qualities. Case studies in aircraft stability and control.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course discusses methods for the design of aircraft. Topics in aerodynamics, and structural design are emphasized in the context of a design project. Students will be required to complete a design project to fulfill the requirements of this class.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
The first half of the course deals with one-dimensional compressible flows, with special emphasis on jet propulsion applications. The second half of the course deals with aerodynamics of two and three-dimensional wings and bodies, concepts of thrust, lift and drag (frictional and lift-induced). Homework will include design problems and computational examples.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Student selects subject and advisor - defines problem to be studied and proposes work plan. A list of possible subjects of particular interest to faculty and staff members is provided. Written report and poster session at end of semester to faculty, staff, fellow students and guests. Independent work is intended for juniors or seniors doing only a one term project. 339 Fall Term project; 340 Spring Term project.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Course similar to MAE 339-340. Principal difference is that the project must incorporate aspects and principals of design for a system, product, vehicle, device, apparatus, or other design element. Written report and oral presentation at end of semester to faculty, staff, fellow students and guests. Independent work with design is intended for juniors or seniors doing only a one term project. 339D Fall Term project; 340D Spring Term project.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
An introduction to the fundamental concepts required for the design and function of implantable medical devices, including basic applications of materials, chemistry and biology to bone/implant systems. The class will discuss the interfaces between cells and the surfaces of synthetic biomaterials, and biosensors for disease detection. An introduction to bio-nanotechnology will also be presented. Classroom sessions will be complemented by lab demonstrations and seminars by outside lecturers.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Introduction to microcomputers for measurement and control. This is a hardware course in the area of electro mechanical systems. Students design and build microcomputer controllers and apply them to the automation of various aspects of a model railroad.
