The objective of this class is to gain a deeper understanding of several issues related to teaching and learning, including how students learn, different methods of instruction and mentoring, and the challenges in making and grading assignments.

Unified treatment of the analysis of solids. Consideration of continuity, mechanical energy, stress and strain. Application to elasticity, thermoelasticity, and plasticity.

Not available at this time.

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.

Description not available at this time. Course may be taken twice for credit and is not repeatable for grade forgiveness.

Design of engineering systems, machines, consumer goods, etc. which acommodate the characteristics of human users, operators and manitaners. Methods for obtaining data about human performance, preferences, tolerances, and group behavior needed in engineering design problems. Case methods used with comprehensive readings in the literature. Student projects relating to human factors in design. Prerequisites: one previous course in human factors and consent of instructor.

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, 397B; MATH 331.

Theory and execution of selected mechanical engineering measurements. Lectures and 1 three-hour lab meeting.

Fundamentals of fluid mechanics including kinematics, the stress tensor, and basic equations. Inviscid flow and wave motion, advanced control volume analysis, including non-inertial reference frames. One-dimensional gas dynamics, shock waves, rarefaction and acoustic waves. Prerequisite: M&I-Eng 340 or equivalent. Mr. Perot, Mr. Schmidt.

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).
