MEC 320 Mechanical Design
This course introduces students to the analysis, design, and specifications of mechanical components such as shafts, bearings, and power transformers. Students will learn to make basic design decisions regarding the suitability of different materials in mechanical components (e.g. steel versus aluminum); and make basic design decisions regarding the suitability of different components in a mechanical system (e.g. shaft and bearing selection, bolts vs welds).
