  • 24 441: Engineering Design II: Conceptualization and Realization

    12.00 Credits
    Carnegie Mellon University

    24-441 - Engineering Design II: Conceptualization and Realization Fall and Spring 12 units. This course guides students through the design process in the applied design of a practical mechanical system. Lectures describe the typical design process and its associated activities, emphasizing methods for innovation and tools for design analysis. Professional and ethical responsibilities of designers, interactions with clients and other professionals, regulatory aspects, and public responsibility are discussed. The design project is typically completed in teams and is based on a level of engineering knowledge expected of seniors. Proof of practicality is required in the form of descriptive documentation. Frequently, a working model will also be required. Oral progress reports and a final written and oral report are required. 3 hrs. rec., 3 hrs lab Prerequisites: 24-262 (Stress Analysis) and senior standing. Co-requisite: Design I 24-370 (preferred as a prerequisite)Machine Shop Practice 24-200 (preferred as a prerequisite)

  • 24 491: Department Research Honors

    3.00 - 24.00 Credits
    Carnegie Mellon University

    This course is designed to give students increased exposure to "open-ended" problems and research type projects. It involves doing a project on a research or design topic and writing a thesis describing that project. The project would be conducted under the supervision of a mechanical engineering faculty member (the advisor), and must be approved by the advisor before inception. This course can be taken at any time after the Junior year and before graduation which includes the summer after the Junior year. Completion of 18 units of this course with a grade of B or better is a partial fulfillment of the requirements for Departmental Research Honors.
