Introduction to the basic tools and classical deterministic models for decision makers responsible for the planning, design, and operations of physical and social systems. Topics include linear programming, integer programming, and network models.

Design for manufacturability; emphasis on design for injection molding, die casting, and stamping. Introduction to design for assembly. Introduction to machining, metal casting, polymer processing, and bulk deformation processes (forging, extrusion, drawing, and rolling) and sheet-metalworking process. Prerequisites: M&I-ENG 201 and 211.

Modeling, analysis, and simulation of dynamic systems. Models for the dynamics of systems from different disciplines derived using differential equations and then transformed into state-space and input/output forms, and finally simulated. Relevant concepts from Laplace Transform, linear algebra, and complex variables covered. The models analyzed for transient response and frequency response properties.

The fundamentals of fluid mechanics. Fluid statics, control volume analysis for fluid dynamic systems, viscous flow in ducts, boundary layer flows, and an introduction to dimensional analysis and similarity. Computer-based design problems. Prerequisite: M&I-ENG 230, MATH 233, M&I-ENG 310 (M&I-ENG 310 may be taken concurrently).

Principles of machine element design principally from a functional perspective, including safety, endurance, strength, and usage. Design project explores other issues.

Important mechanical properties of materials engineering such as yield strength and fracture toughness experimentally investigated with a view towards materials selection and design. Skills emphasized: experimental technique, statistical analysis of data, report writing, and oral presentation.
