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.

Prerequisites:

Prerequisites: ETSC 265 and (ETSC 312 with a grade of C+ or higher) and MET 255 and MET 327 and MET 327LAB. Co-requisites: MET 426 and MET 426LAB and MET 418LAB.

Credits: (4)

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

Have the ability to function effectively as a member of a technical team.
function effectively as team leader on a technical team
Have the 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.)
Have the 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.)
Have 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.)
