1.00 Credits
This laboratory learning experience provides the opportunity to explore various components, such as the compressor, condenser, and evaporator, in a series of experiments using refrigeration equipment.Students investigate lift and drag in a wind tunnel, pressure losses in duct flow, and the Bernoulli principle.The course emphasizes statistical analysis, test planning, data evaluation, and report writing.(Co-requisites: ME 342, ME 347) One credit.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers one- and two-dimensional heat conduction, including solutions for finned surfaces and solutions for transient problems; convection heat transfer in laminar and turbulent flows; fundamental radiation concepts; laws of thermal radiation; radiation exchange geometrical factors and network methods; and heat exchangers and electrical analogies.The course emphasizes design solutions using computer analysis and synthesis.In the lab, students investigate heat transfer in plane surfaces, enhanced heat transfer in extended surfaces, and heat exchanger effectiveness.(Prerequisites: ME 342, ME 347) Three credits.
-
1.00 Credits
This laboratory learning experience provides the opportunity to explore energy transfer methods related to transmitted forces in vibrating systems, as well as thermal transfer gradients in mechanical, electrical, and electronic systems.Students use simulation and modeling software for many experiments, including conduction and convection heat transfer processes.The course emphasizes statistical analysis, instrumentation, and report writing.(Co-requisites: MC 290, ME 349) One credit.
-
3.00 Credits
This course presents the theories of internal combustion engines including engine types; gas cycles; fuel, air, and combustion thermodynamics; air cycles; and engine performance.(Prerequisite: ME 241; co-requisite: ME 342) Three credits.
-
3.00 Credits
During this design course emphasizing individual creativity, students (working with a faculty mentor) develop project objectives and performance specifi-cations.At review meetings, students present progress on the project including analytic and experimental results to date.A final report and presentation demon-strates the accomplishments and significant conclusions.Faculty involvement creates a realistic engineering development environment.Students may take this course as independent study once the prerequisites have been met.(Prerequisites: departmental approval of project proposal following completion of non-elective mechanical engineering courses and at least one major elective) One to three credits.
-
3.00 Credits
In this capstone course, students work in teams on advanced projects that emphasize the engineering design approach.Each team works closely with a faculty/mentor and conducts literature searches, synthesis, and in-depth analysis and experimentation.Individual team members make frequent presentations to faculty and peers; students receive instruction in effective communication to enable successful presentation skills.An oral presentation, written report, and working models complete the course requirements.Students begin this two-semester course in the fall term.(Prerequisites: completion of all non-elective courses prior to ME 391 and completion of adequate program requirements to enable graduation within one year of course completion) Three credits per semester; six credits total.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers fundamental laws of mechanics, free and forced vibration of discrete single and multi-degree- of-freedom systems, periodic and harmonic motion, viscous damping, and measures of energy dissipation.Modal analysis for linear systems, computational methods in vibration analysis, natural frequencies and mode shapes, analytical dynamics and Lagrange's equation, longitudinal, torsional, and flexural vibration of continuous elastic systems (strings, rods, beams) are discussed.Students learn energy methods, approximate methods for distributed parameter systems, and dynamic response by direct numerical integration methods.(Prerequisites: ME 203, MC 290, or equivalent) Three credits.
-
