3.00 Credits
Mechatronic system design principles, modeling/ analysis/control (continuous and digital) of dynamic systems, control sensors/actuators and microcomputer/microcontroller interfacing, control electronics, and real-time programming for control. Lectures and weekly homework exercises; student teams complete two projects, each with required oral and written presentations; reverse engineering of a successful mechatronic system and a design-build-test exercise based on one of the laboratory systems of Mechatronics. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: MANE 4490. When Offered: Spring term annually . Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
This course acquaints students with all the phases of the design process from recognizing the need through a detailed conceptual design. Students work in teams on a semester-long project with the assistance of faculty consultants. The design projects require students to draw upon their engineering background, experience, and other pertinent resources. Oral and written presentations are required. Writing-intensive assignments help develop communication skills. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: senior standing When Offered: Fall and spring terms annually. Credit Hours: 3
-

Consideration of economics, environmental, and resource implications of fusion energy systems. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: permission of instructor. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 3
-
4.00 Credits
A laboratory course covering topics in instrumentation, computer-controlled instrument interfacing and data acquisition, electronics (simple circuits, signal analysis and Fourier Transforms), applied physics, optical interferometry, laser-doppler interferometry, multiphase flow, fluid dynamics, and alpha spectroscopy. Error analyses are emphasized. Lab attendance is required along with formal written lab reports, which include data error analysis. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: ENGR 2600 and MANE 2830. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
1.00 Credits
This is the first of a two-semester sequence for seniors intended to be a "capstone" design project where students have the opportunity to utilize the broad range of their undergraduate experience in an interdisciplinary design project. Projects are selected to provide interaction between nuclear engineering and engineering physics majors to provide exposure to cross-fertilization of ideas and team interaction, which simulates anticipated future professional experience. The product of each design project is a comprehensive report or design proposal having both global and detail completeness. Under some circumstances, the project may involve development of cost information necessary to effect construction and may actually involve construction and commissioning of the designed apparatus.Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: permission of instructor. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 1
