This course is aimed at providing the undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical and manufacturing engineering basic knowledge and understanding of the major manufacturing processes for modeling, monitoring and control of these processes through a series of analytical and experimental techniques and tools, including group work for assignments and experiments.
A study of the structural advantages of composite materials over conventional materials, considering high strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios. Fiber reinforced, laminated and particulate materials are analyzed. Response of composite structures to static and dynamic loads, thermal and environmental effects, and failure criteria are studied.
This course will provide a strong foundation in the concepts, theories and applications of design engineering methodologies for effective manufacture of high quality products at low costs and high productivity. In addition to the lectures, the assembly and design analysis of "product based assembly kits" will be used to apply and help learn the tools presented in class. The final project includes the application of these tools to re-design a given product from a manufacturing and assembly perspective.

Application of basic acoustics and vibrations to engineering problems in vibro-acoustic design. The objective is to acquaint the student with the tools used in industry for noise and vibration control and to make the student aware of the major applications of such tools in the automotive, aerospace, and consumer product industries.
Unsymmetrical bending of beams, thin plates, stress analysis of thick-walled cylinders, and rotating discs. Theory of elastic energy, curved beams, stress concentration, and fatique.
Modern powerplants for electric power generation and cogeneration. Thermodynamic analysis of different concepts of powerplants. Design studies of specific powerplants.
A detailed investigation of a topic of current significance in mechanical engineering such as: computer-aided manufacturing, special topics in robotics, and current topics in heat transfer. May be repeated under different subtitles to a maximum of nine credits. A particular topic may be offered at most twice under the ME 599 number.
