3.00 Credits
Thermodynamic principles of vapor-cycle mechanical refrigeration; refrigerants; psychometrics; physiological considerations of comfort, heating and cooling load of structures; air-conditioning processes; special design project requiring written term paper and oral presentation. Professional design elective. Prerequisites: ME 236 and ME 341 (may be taken concurrently).
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to methods of energy conversion, including both conventional and renewable methods of energy generation. These include, but are not limited to, cogeneration, nuclear, solar, wind, and fuel cells. Each consists of a review of the basic engineering principles of design and operational configurations. Concepts of energy usage based on the Second Law of Thermodynamics are introduced. Invited lecturers present an overview of the technology, with assessments of present and future market potential. Students are required to write and present a term paper related to the course topics. Prerequisites: ME 236, 340, and 341, any of which may be taken concurrently.
-
3.00 Credits
Evaluation and design of solar thermal processes and equipment; availability of solar radiation, flat plate, and focusing collectors, and energy storage systems are treated. Professional design elective. Prerequisite: ME 341 or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will provide a dual track of design practice. The first part of this course will prepare students for design practices associated with energy systems. The second part of this course will concentrate on detailed product design, which will include drawing, tolerancing, and probabilistic methods. The entire course will include the application of computer-aided engineering tools. Prerequisites: ME 341 and ME 470 (minimum grade of C- in each). Laboratory fee.
-
3.00 Credits
Engineering applications of wave motion to audible sound, emphasis on instrumentation, environmental noise standards and regulations, sound quality and the auditory system, noise analysis of mechanical systems, passive and active noise control, noise abatement as a design problem. Prerequisites: ME 350 (minimum grade of C-), and M 242 or equivalent. Laboratory fee.
-
3.00 Credits
Theoretical and practical applications of the principles of mechanics to the design of machines. Topics include design for failure modes, robust and quality design, universal product design, identification, selection, limitations, and applications of processes used in industrial production. Prerequisites: ME 213 and ME 370, or BE 260, or CE 260 (minimum grade of C- in each). Laboratory fee.
-
3.00 Credits
Students work independently on projects of advanced engineering design practice; no formal class meetings; periodic consultations with instructor are by arrangement. Professional design elective. Prerequisites: ME 470 and acceptance of a project design proposal by a faculty member.
-
3.00 Credits
The capstone design project course for senior engineering majors, in which a project group treats a single significant engineering problem. Engineering faculty supervises each group with consultation from a business/ industrial counterpart. The design project progresses step-by-step from the stages of problem definition, design, analysis, synthesis, fabrication, and tests. Students are required to demonstrate their mastery of oral and written communication skills by presenting their results to an audience of peers, faculty, and business/ industry representatives, and by submitting a final written report. These final presentations and reports include sections on the social, political, economic, and cultural dimensions of the completed design projects. Prerequisite: Senior standing or permission of instructor. Laboratory fee.
-
3.00 Credits
A continuation of ME 472 wherein students may continue their projects on an elective basis. Prerequisite: ME 472. Laboratory fee.
-
3.00 Credits
Illustration and application of the use of computers in the design of machines and their elements; development of appropriate data base; use of advanced numerical analysis methods; use of robotics; lecture and laboratory. Professional design elective. Prerequisite: ME 470. Laboratory fee.
