Design of Mechanical Systems

Catalog description

Integration of the physical sciences, mathematics, and engineering to solve real-world mechanical engineering design problems. Design of mechanical elements including: fasteners, welds, springs, bearings, gears, belts, brakes, clutches, flywheels, shafts. Emphasis on open-ended problems which contain superfluous information and/or insufficient data. Solution techniques focus on problem definition,reduction to a solvable system, and development of a design response. Team based projects. Formal written communication of results.
