Provides the student with the opportunity to pursue a research project. Students will conduct research in consultation with Mechanical Engineering faculty. The project and the amount of credit must be approved by the faculty member.
A work experience opportunity with the purpose of expanding education by applying accumulated knowledge in EGR.
Permission of chair. Internships must be preapproved if they are to be counted for class credit.
This course covers modeling, analysis, and control of single and multiple degree-of-freedom dynamical systems, including mechanical, electrical, thermal, fluid systems and their combinations (mixed systems). Topics may include the processes of energy storage and dissipation, modeling of dynamic systems, basic concepts in system theory, classical control analysis, and design methods.
This course provides the fundamental tools of the design process to produce an effective design solution in a realistic professional environment with conflicting customer needs and technical capabilities. Senior design should be taken in the spring semester after this class.
Capstone project in mechanical engineering. This class is designed for senior mechanical engineering majors. Students will work in teams on a research and/or design project. The students are expected to complete their project in a way that shows proficiency in the engineering design process and demonstrates professional conduct.
