As part of the fourth-year course offerings in the College of Medicine, this primary acting internship is designed to provide students with an advanced level of direct patient care responsibility, greater than that required during a third-year clerkship or fourth-year elective in internal medicine. During this course, the student will assume direct responsibility for management of patient care, and with the appropriate oversight of supervising physicians, assume the responsibilities of a first-year intern.

This course emphasizes mechanical design techniques based on the finite element method, using machine design background as the starting point. Techniques for modeling machine elements will be shown in relation to the basic FEM theory. Emphasis will be on quantifying loads, the resulting stress and deflection, and relating them to design allowables, leading to an acceptable design solution.

This course will introduce fundamentals of machining processes covering machinability (machining performance), surface integrity, including machining quality and sustainable machining processes in industry applications, particularly focusing on automotive and aerospace machining operations. By using real-world machining problems presented by manufacturers with case studies, students will be able to apply classroom knowledge immediately to solve industrial problems in machining.

The analysis of vibrational motion of structural and mechanical systems. Single-degree-of-freedom systems; free vibrations; nonperiodic excitation; harmonic excitation. Modal analysis of multiple-degree-of- freedom systems. Vibration of continuous bodies, including strings and bars (axial, torsional and flexural modes). Energy methods.
