MET 418 - Mechanical Design I

Description:
Mechanical design principles including material and device responses to complex loading and optimization of energy system and mechanical drives. This course consists of four hours of lecture each week plus an associated lab for two hours per week. Course will be offered every year (Fall).

Prerequisites:
Prerequisite: ETSC 265 and (ETSC 312 with a grade of C+ or higher) and MET 255 and MET 327 and MET 327LAB and MET 426 and MET 426LAB.

Credits: (4)

Learner Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

ABET SO 3e: An ability to function effectively as a member or leader on a technical team.
ABET SO 3d: An ability to design systems, components, or processes for broadly-defined engineering technology problems appropriate to program educational objectives. (Standard machine components such as gears, belts, and chain drive, etc.)
ABET SO 3f: An ability to identify, analyze, and solve broadly-defined engineering technology problems. (Proceed from a design concept to a complete design including analysis, part drawings, and material specification.)
ABET SO 3k: A commitment to quality, timeliness, and continuous improvement. (Apply technical methodology in optimizing a complete design in terms of weight, cost estimates, as well as ‘buy’ decisions - ROI.)
