CLASS HOURS: 3, CREDIT: 3 Prerequisites: MTH 215, ME 330 Analysis of mechanical systems undergoing vibration. Topics include free response of vibrating systems, response to harmonic excitation, response to general excitation, analysis of multi-degree of freedom systems using matrix methods, and techniques to suppress vibration. In addition, a series of laboratory experiments are done to demonstrate the theory learned in class.

CLASS HOURS: 4, CREDIT: 4 Prerequisites: ME 330, ME 332 The kinematics of mechanisms is introduced. Position, velocity, and acceleration analysis of mechanisms are discussed, along with linkage synthesis. Other topics include dynamics of machinery, mechanism design, cam design, gear train design, force analysis of mechanisms, and engine dynamics. Students will design, animate, analyze, and optimize complex three-dimensional mechanisms using virtual prototyping tools for mechanism design and analysis.

3.00 Credits
CLASS HOURS: 3, CREDIT: 3 Prerequisites: Junior Class Standing, ENG 120 The tasks of engineering design processes are introduced and practiced. These tasks include identifying objectives and constraints, establishing functions, generating concepts, evaluating design alternatives, designing product architecture, selecting materials, and using mathematical modeling. Auxiliary techniques such as engineering statistics, dimensional analysis, design optimization, engineering economics, and project management will also be studied.
-
3.00 Credits
CLASS HOURS: 3, CREDIT: 3 Prerequisites: ME 490, ENG 300 Capstone projects will be assigned to groups of student teams who will implement the process of engineering design. They will identify a reasonable set of objectives, constraints, functions, and design specifications. They will subsequently generate design concepts and evaluate their alternatives to select the design that best meets the user's requirements. The teams will then work on product architecture, material selection, and mathematical modeling and engineering analysis. Finally, they will be required to present and submit a preliminary design report for their senior projects.
