A variety of issues that arise in the design and management of production/distribution systems, which typically consist of multiple plants, warehouses, and retailers or stores. Focus on the case of a sole owner with complete information whose objective is to minimize system-wide production, inventory, and transportation costs. Brief discussion of the case in which different firms own portions of the supply chain and the subsequent complications.

This course will cover use of computational fluid dynamics codes, code structure, and mathematical background. Advanced topics, such as turbulence modeling and compressibility, will also be discussed. Prerequisite: M&I-ENG 603 Numerical Methods (or equivalent).

Incompressible and compressible flow theory applied to airplane lifting surfaces and engines. Topics include potential flow theory, the Euler equations, thin airfoil theory, and gas dynamics. A commercial computational fluid dynamics package may be used to visualize the flows.

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..

Introduction to the fundamentals of computer programming for engineering problem solving and analysis. Creating algorithms for data manipulation and for solving basic mathematical expressions which model real world phenomena.

This is a one-credit laboratory course offered in conjunction with the 500-level course on Physical and Chemical Processing of Materials. It aims at enhancing the students' experience with and understanding of kinetic processes of materials.

The course aims at a comprehensive introduction to the physical and chemical processes involved in the design and manufacturing of materials used in current materials engineering technologies, including modern device fabrication technologies. The course will offer a broad review of kinetic processes in engineering materials that control the materials' structural and chemical characteristics in relation to material properties.

Kinetics and Kinematics of particles and rigid bodies. Newton?s laws, work-energy and impulse-momentum principles, laws of linear and angular momentum, conservation of momentum, planar motion of rigid bodies, and introduction to vibration of single-degree-of-freedom systems.

Prerequisites: CE-ENGIN 240 or M&I-ENG 210
