This course is meant to provide an extra class period for juniors in mechanical engineering for individual and group-based problem solving, examinations, and tutorials.
0
Corequisites
ME 331
Numerical methods applied to engineering problems: interpolation and curve fitting of experimental data, matrix analysis, and approximation methods in structural, thermal, and fluid systems.
2
Prerequisites
CS 201
This course builds on the concepts learned in strength of materials and introduces finite element analysis (FEA). FEA is introduced mathematically beginning with springs, trusses, and beams. A commercial FEA software package is used to model plane stress and three-dimensional geometry. Individual projects are used to introduce three dimensional analysis. Fee: $40.

Application of fluid mechanics principles to laminar and turbulent duct flows; head losses through pipes including minor losses; compressible flows; measurement and turbomachinery.
2
Prerequisites
ME 311
Classical treatment emphasizing the first and second laws of thermodynamics and their application to open and closed systems undergoing steady and unsteady processes. Tabular and graphical data, as well as ideal gas properties, are used in analytical work.
