3.00 Credits
Introduction to numerical and empirical calculations for the design of work-holding devices. Sensitivity to the production aspects of tool design is emphasized. Course deals with tooling required for mass production. Machining, sheet-metal working, welding fixtures and tools will be developed. In addition, students are required to design fixtures and gripping devices for automated manufacturing. Design projects represent a primary portion of course. Prerequisite: senior standing in ME program.
-
3.00 Credits
Course focuses on the application of kinematics and dynamics in automated machinery. Actuators and control systems in automation are introduced. Emphasis on use of hard and programmable automation in the design of systems for manufacture, as well as the use of sensors and interrupts in small design tasks are emphasized. Extensive hands-on experience in the lab is a major course component. Prerequisite: senior standing in ME program.

-
3.00 Credits
Examination of design considerations for the production of parts using traditional metal-cutting and forming, EDM, plasma-working lasers and manufacturing systems. Design projects constitute a significant portion of this course. Prerequisite: ME 450.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the methods of failure mode and effects analysis and the application of Boolean algebra and probability theory to fault tree and event tree analyses and Markov modeling. System designed for safety, reliability and maintainability; and regulatory agencies and product liability are covered. Three studies are conducted including a trade-off study involving system cost and maintenance and system reliability. Prerequisite: MTH 357.
-
3.00 Credits
Course extends student's knowledge of compressible fluid flow beyond that introduced in elementary fluid mechanics courses. Course also provides a background and tools sufficient for solution of engineering design problems involving gas flow. One-dimensional flow; isentropic, shock waves, constant-area flow with friction and with heating or cooling are covered. Also covered are two-dimensional flow; small perturbation theory, Gothert's rule, sweepback, supersonic airfoils, method of characteristics, Prandtl-Meyer expansion, oblique shock waves. Prerequisites: ME 312, ME 340.
-
3.00 Credits
Application of fluid mechanics and dynamics to flight. Aircraft lift, drag, propulsion, range, endurance, rate of climb, take-off, landing, stability and control are discussed. Students learn to apply principles of dynamics and fluid mechanics to traditional flight problems of aircraft, such as its range, rate of climb, stability and controllability. Emphasis will be on developing methods for use in design. Students will demonstrate their ability to use these methods through team design problems. Safety of the flight is emphasized. Application to aircraft design. Prerequisites: ME 308, ME 340.
-
3.00 Credits
Senior-level course in control system design and analysis. Students will design a control system using computer software, analytical tools and graphic methods such as the Bode diagram, Nichols plot, Nyquist plot or root locus technique. Students will be able to analyze their design in time domain, frequency domain, s domain or z domain, if necessary. Introduction of control laws such as PI, PID control, as well as compensation methods. Introduction to digital control systems. The performance and control design portion of the senior design project will be conducted through this course. Transfer functions; root locus method; analog simulation of hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical systems are covered, as are applications to design of mechanical systems.
-
3.00 Credits
Coordinated through the Universitys Career Center and the School of Engineering, the Department of Mechanical Engineering rants approval of credits for work. Students who are currently employed in civil engineering-related jobs are given the opportunity to discover relationships between academic topics and professional practice. Prerequisites: junior standing and approval of department chair.
-
3.00 Credits
A student/facutly-selected project allows the student to do research in a specialized area. Offered on approval by the chair of the department.
