A professionally oriented seminar with faculty, university administration, and alumni speakers. Topics include: starting career options; career development; safety; switching companies and careers; working for oneself; graduate school.

Introduction to the basic tools and classical deterministic models for decison makers responsible for the planning, design, and operations of physical and social systems. Topics include linear programming, integer programming, and network models. Prerequisite: MATH 235 or equivalent.

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.

Concepts and techniques needed in making economic decisions which confront engineers: accounting principles, cost control, budgeting, choosing among alternatives, interest and rate-of-return formulas, depreciation, replacement problems, income tax, lease-buy decisions, decisions under risk, scheduling techniques, corporation structure, financing alternatives, economic decision-making by public and regulated organizations. Prerequisite: MATH 132 or equivalent.

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. Prerequisites: M&I-ENG 201, 211 and 273. ENGLISH 351 (ENGLISH 351 may be taken concurrently).
