M E Automatc Contrls

Fundamental concepts of control theory. Topics include transfer functions for dynamic systems, block diagrams, Bode diagrams, root locus, and state space methods. Systems analyzed in the time and frequency domains. Prerequisites: M&I-ENG 310, 344; MATH 331.

Internal Combustion Engines

This course is designed to introduce the fundamentals of internal combustion engines. Attention will be paid to how engine design affects their operation, power, efficiency, fuel requirements, and emissions. Lectures will include discussion of fluid flow, thermodynamics, combustion, heat transfer and friction phenomena. The design and operating characteristics of different types of internal combustion engines including spark-ignition, diesel and mixed-cycle engines will be explored.

Stat Quality Control

Introduction to the fundamental tools of statistical quality control and related statistical techniques. Topics include control charts, sampling plans, process capability indices, and other statistical techniques. Emphasis on basic concepts, their application, and the risks associated with various quality control procedures.

Design of Mechanical Systems

A Senior Design (SD) project course including design concept selection, design spec writing, assembly design (DFM), design analysis, a final report and oral presentations in defense of the design. Prerequisites: M&I-ENG 313, 354, 375 and 413. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BS-ME majors..

Des Mech Assemblies

Design of devices with strongly interacting components and functions. General principles and methods discussed. Design of specific assemblies, e.g., gearboxes and positioners explored in depth through a design project. Prerequisite: M&I-ENG 313.
