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.
This course will revolve around the development of a Single-Product (also called Single-Purpose) production system. It covers topics in basic lean system operations of as well as the management system to support the attainment of highest customer satisfaction with respect to Safety, Quality, Cost, Productivity, Delivery and Human Resource Development. Working in teams, students apply fundamental lean tools and concepts to develop a lean operations environment capable of driving continuous improvement in a simulated factory.
Consideration of the mass, energy and force balances applied to compressible fluids. Isentropic flow, diabatic flow, flow with friction, wave phenomena and one-dimensional gas dynamics. Applications to duct flows and to jet and rocket propulsion engines.
Stress at a point (introduced as a tensor of rank two). Equation of conservation of mass, rate of strain tensor, derivation of Navier-Stokes equation, source-sink flows, motion due to a doublet, vortex flow, two- and three-dimensional irrotational flow due to a moving cylinder with circulation, two-dimensional airfoils.
Aerodynamic analysis and design of turbomachines (pumps, compressors and turbines). Blade element performance (deflection and losses), and models for performance prediction are present. Special topics - rotating stall and surge, and aeromechanical considerations.
This course provides an overview of micromachined structures with an emphasis on operational theory and fabrication technology.
A study of concepts of scale modeling in engineering applications. The course will include dimensionless numbers, scaling laws, and their application in engineering design and research.
