Introduction to the analysis of vibration of linear systems; emphasis on physical concepts. Differential equations of motion for a wide variety of vibrating systems. Undamped and damped vibration. Single and multiple-degree -of-freedom systems. Vibration measurement and suppression design. General forcing conditions and response. Lagrange's equations. Orthogonality and principle modes. Distributed-parameter systems. The finite element method in vibration analysis.

Integration of industrial engineering/operations research principles and procedures into the design of an operating system (production/manufacturing, financial, service systems). Selected projects completed by small groups. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BS-IE majors. Prerequisites: M&I-ENG senior standing and completion of all required M&I-ENG courses.

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.

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.

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..

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.
