  • MECH 6133: Introduction to Finite Elements

    3.00 Credits
    SUNY College of Technology at Alfred

    The finite element method is a numerical method for solving engineering problems. This course will introduce engineering technology students to the principles of finite element method by formulating differential equations for solving simple engineering- oriented problems in the areas of structural analysis, heat transfer and fluid flow. The students will also learn to apply a programming environment such as VBA for methods in solving more complex finite element applications by iterative means. A commercial finite element analysis software system will be used as a solver for larger scale 2D and 3D models.

  • MECH 7143: Fundamentals of Machine Elements

    3.00 Credits
    SUNY College of Technology at Alfred

    This course is designed to provide a general knowledge of the various components and elements of devices utilized in a manufacturing process system design. The emphasis is on use, selection and specification of the components, not on the aspects of individual mechanical design principles best left to the mechanical engineers and designers. The students will be able to select and specify individual "machine elements" or incorporate them into a system. The selection criteria will involve comparisons of the various available elements utilizing charts, tables and/or manufacturers data generally available in traditional reference texts, standards manuals or literature.
