  • 0304-620: Introduction to Optimal Design

    4.00 Credits
    Rochester Institute of Technology

    This course is an introduction to basic optimization techniques for engineering design synthesis. Topics covered include: basic concepts, the general problem statement, necessary conditions of optimization, numerical techniques for unconstrained optimization, constrained optimization through unconstrained optimization, and direct methods. Numerical solutions are obtained using commercially available software. A design project is required. (0304-437, 440) Class 4, Credit 4

  • 0304-623: Powertrain Systems and Design

    4.00 Credits
    Rochester Institute of Technology

    This course will introduce the transmission's primary function of coupling the engine to the driveline at appropriate torque ratios. Subsequent topics include modern transmission design, effi cient engine operation through transmission adaptation; and a discussion of the future of the automatic transmission. The course will review manual transmissions, automatic control, and hydro-mechanic decision theory and implementation. Modern designs, such as Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVT), are reviewed to demonstrate a fundamental shift in the way power is transmitted from the primary source (such as the internal combustion engine) to the remainder of the driveline such as the propeller shaft or axle.

  • 0304-624: Vehicle Dynamics

    4.00 Credits
    Rochester Institute of Technology

    Deals with the fundamentals of ground vehicle stability and control. The contribution of tire lateral force, stiffness, and aligning torque to vehicle stability is discussed. Bicycle and four-wheel vehicle models are analyzed for neutral, under and oversteer characteristics. The effects of suspension geometry, chassis stiffness and roll stiffness on stability and handling are analyzed.

  • 0304-630: Senior Design I

    4.00 Credits
    Rochester Institute of Technology

    The fi rst of a two-course capstone design sequence. Students work in design teams in an environment approximating an industrial setting. Emphasis is placed on teamwork and on developing good oral, written and interpersonal communication skills. In this course, student teams develop their proposed final design of a mechanical system after identifying possible alternative concepts. The fi nal design must be supported by sound engineering analyses and by engineering drawings necessary to build a prototype. This course is intended to be taken as a capstone design experience near the conclusion of the student's program of study. Students must have fi fth-year standing, completed three co-op blocks and have consent of the department. Students must submit a departmentally approved plan of study for degree completion.

  • 0304-631: Senior Design II

    4.00 Credits
    Rochester Institute of Technology

    The second of the two-course capstone design sequence. The same student teams from Senior Design I return to build and test a working prototype of their previously developed fi nal design. Non-working prototypes are not acceptable, and some redesign work may be required to make the system work. Continued emphasis is placed on teamwork and on developing good oral, written and interpersonal communication skills. (0304-630) Class 4, Credit 4
