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

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. This course covers mechatronic system design process, low-level interfacing of software with hardware, implementing real-time computation tasks, digital logic, analog devices and power amplifiers, measurement and sensing, actuators, and control of mechatronic systems.

This course is designed to be a one semester introduction into aerospace propulsion systems with an emphasis on gas turbine and rocket engines. The aero-thermodynamics of these devices will be analyzed using fundamental engineering concepts from thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.

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. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BS-ME majors.

Design of devices with strongly interacting components and functions. General principles and methods discussed. Design of specific assemblies, e.g., gearboxes and positioners explored in depth through a design project. Prerequisite: M&I-ENG 313.
