ST-Mechatronics

Mechatronics as the synergistic integration of mechanical design, electronics design, controls, and embedded programming throughout the product and process design, with the aim to optimize the final design output. Mechatronic product design, with a focus on integrating the various engineering disciplines into electromechanical systems. Students work in teams on mechatronic design projects using a microcontroller development system.

Materials Sci and Eng Project

The course will provide the students with an experience in searching the current scientific literature in Materials Science and Engineering, preparing a technical report, and delivering a seminar while expanding their knowledge in a topic of their choice from a list of technologically relevant research areas provided by the instructors.

Economic Decision Making

Integrated treatment of elements of engineering economy, economics, accounting, and finance and operations research to provide a unified background for economic decision making. Prerequisite: background in economics, engineering, elementary probability theory, and undergraduate economics.

Aerospace Fluid Mech

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.

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..
