  • ME 205: Advanced Mechanical Design

    4.00 Credits
    University of Rochester

    This course capstones the ME curricula by drawing on all skills the students have acquired throughout the previous four years. It is organized to provide a series of team design projects requiring students to design and test their concepts in virtual environment. Lectures concentrate on strength of materials, machine design, manufacturing methods, project planning, and any special topics appropriate for the specific design challenges

  • ME 206: Building Engineering and Technology in Antiquity

    4.00 Credits
    University of Rochester

    We study the engineering and technological problems involved in the design, construction, maintenance, and collapse of major buildings (such as temples, theaters, baths, and cathedrals) and infrastructural systems (such as roads, bridges, aqueducts) from antiquity to the pre-industrial world. The course draws material from case studies of relevant monuments primarily from Classical Rome and Greece, and the Middle Ages. Topics: strength of materials, analysis and design of structural elements; building materials; geometry and surveying; soils and foundations; columns and trabeated systems; walls; timber frames and roofing systems; arches; domes; vaults; construction machines. Requirements: homework sets, term project, two midterm exams. The course is appropriate for students in the humanities and the social sciences as well as in engineering.

  • ME 232: Opto-Mechanical

    4.00 Credits
    University of Rochester

    The mechanical design and analysis of optical components and systems will be studied. Topics will include kinematic mounting of optical elements, the analysis of adhesive bonds, and the influence of environmental effects such as gravity, temperature, and vibration on the performance of optical systems. Additional topics include analysis of adaptive optics, the design of lightweight mirrors, thermo-optic and stress-optic (stress birefringence) effects. Emphasis will be placed on integrated analysis which includes the data transfer between optical design codes and mechanical FEA codes. A term project is required for ME 432.

  • ME 241: Fluids Lab

    4.00 Credits
    University of Rochester

    Laboratory course. Introductory Lecture(s) on lab practice and data analysis. The lab itself consists of two parts: The first part uses simple experiments to familiarize the student with computer data acquisitions and some basic instrumentation. In the second part, students (working in groups of three) perform independent experimental projects. The course has significant writing content and makes formal use of the Writing Center. In addition to written and oral laboratory reports, each group is expected to make a final poster presentation of its work.
