Catalog description

Design and analysis of mechanisms and machines. A study of simple machines such as linkages, geared systems, and cam-follower systems. Topics include mechanism motion and performance (position, velocity, acceleration, force transmission, etc.), actuators, and design considerations to improve machine performance. The use of a customer-based, systematic design process to design and develop a working mechanism. Components: Laboratory, Discussion, Class Prereqs/Coreqs: P: A grade of "C-" or better in GENENG 2230 or ENGRPHYS 3240 and GENENG 2030 Typically Offered: Fall - Spring
