Structuring of materials at the micro-/nano-scale has become a standard method for creating optical, thermal, acoustic, and mechanical properties, which are not possible by traditional stochastic material processing. The new materials created by the deliberate control of their structures have been called ?metamaterials? and will play a critical role in the development of future high-performance materials. The aim of the course is to provide multidisciplinary knowledge for understanding metamaterials with selected applications.

Quantitative techniques of production planning and control, including master production scheduling, manufacturing resources planning, operation scheduling, materials management, just-in-time production, facility layout, and forecasting.

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..

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.

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.
