ME:6217 Advanced Modeling and Simulation for Manufacturing
This course is concerned with modeling and prediction of material processes based on a metallo-thermomechanical coupled analysis; focus on heat transfer modeling in material processes, fundamental mechanics aspects required for material processing analysis, and microstructural evolution modeling in material processes.
ME:4116 Manufacturing Processes, Simulations and Automation
Material processing, metal cutting theories, forming, micro/nano fabrication, programmable logic controller, computer numerical controllers, discrete control system, DC and AC servo motors, Command generation.
ME:4086 / ME:4186 Enhanced Design Experience
Students work in teams on industry-sponsored design and product development projects scheduled for production. Emphasis is on practical experience with the complete design process from conceptualization through prototyping, evaluation, testing, and production. Written and oral communication is stressed. 3 semester hours for both Fall and Spring semesters.
ME:4080 Experimental Engineering
Principles of physical measurements; standards calibration, estimation of error; static and dynamic performance of measuring systems; laboratory experience, experiment planning, report writing. 4 semester hours.
ME:4055 Mechanical Systems Design
Design considerations for mechanical engineering systems; strength, deformation, durability of mechanical elements; safe-life, fail-safe, damage-tolerant design; standards, products liability, ethics in design. 4 semester hours.
