3.00 Credits
A study of mechanical systems design. This course will emphasize the application of mechanical design principles in the system design by individual and design team projects with a focus on industrial machines. The mechanical system design work will be enhanced by the use of computer aided solid modeling design techniques and computer design programs. The course will include the use of mechanism design as linkages, pneumatics, hydraulics, gear trains, belt and gear drives and also control systems as microprocessors and servo motors with sensing systems. The course will emphasize techniques to yield completed mechanical system designs, which are feasible operationally and economically in analytical and physical performance. The design components will be analytically reviewed for structural integrity by means of design strength, rigidity and power calculations.

3.00 Credits
This course will use advanced 3D solid modeling techniques utilizing feature and constraintbased parametric design practices. The students will create models using helical and variable section sweeps, and blends, patterns, and family tables to create complex geometries of fanand turbine blades and other complex mechanisms. Emphasis will be placed on capturing "design intent" and the manufacturability of the solid models. High-end topics will include parametric programming, surface modeling and rapid prototyping.

3.00 Credits
MECH 4523, Control Systems, utilizes machine and system control principles involving electromagnetic relay, solid- state and fluid logic control in applications containing motors, heaters and valves. Topics included are proper use of safety devices, interlocking with other electro- mechanical equipment as well as manual and automatic control systems. A wide variety of simulated systems are used in design projects to allow evaluation of a variety of design solutions and experience trouble-shooting control system designs. Development of control systems applying electro- mechanical system analogies and relationships.
-
1.00 - 5.00 Credits
A student may contract for one to five credit hours of independent study through an arrangement with an instructor who agrees to direct such a study. The student will submit a plan acceptable to the instructor and to the department chair. The instructor and student will confer regularly regarding the process of the study.

3.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to Industrial Plastics and Composites, and their applications in Industry. Plastics, and even more so composites, are space age materials that cover a broad spectrum of materials and physical characteristics. The materials and manufacturing processes applicable to both Thermoplastic and Thermosetting plastics are discussed. This course covers the basics of plastics chemistry, materials and manufacturing processes. Processes included are Injection Molding, Blow Molding, Compression Molding and others. The study of Composites materials and manufacture will explore the various matrix materials of both space age materials and of those used in every day household products. Plastics and Composites are examined as "engineered" design materials. Safety and environmental impacts will also be discussed.

3.00 Credits
This course is a calculus-based study of advanced concepts in Mechanics of Materials. It addresses the behavior of deformable mechanical components when subjected to tension, compression, torsion, lexure/bending or a combination of these loads. Extensive use is made of free body diagrams as well as Mohr's Circle for stress and strain. Experience is gained in the Analysis of beam delection, shafts in torsion, power, column buckling and thin walled pressure vessels. Analysis includes examination of stress concentrations, elastic and inelastic response, residual stresses, indeterminate structures and thermal effects. Superposition, singularity functions and theories of failure are studied. Laboratory experiences include traditional mechanical material testing and computer software applications to include inite element techniques.

3.00 Credits
This course presents an overview and in some case in-depth analysis of contemporary problems and issues related to manufacturing operations and production management, i.e., process and production planning, control, scheduling, and quality control in manufacturing organizations. The intent is to further provide operational and analytical concepts/tools for the management of manufacturing operations and the decision-making process within the scope of the production chain. Topics covered include process strategies, production and operations planning, manufacturing facilities layout, aggregate production planning, assignment strategies, job sequencing/ scheduling, dispatching rules, and transportation network optimization, manufacturing forecasting and capacity planning, inventory deployment/control, materials management, reliability, six sigma, and total quality management.
