ME 262 Mechanical Design I (3 cr.)

Syllabus

Outcomes: After completion of this course, the students should be able to:

1. Implement the design process in engineering design projects. [c1]

2. Identify and compute motion characteristics of mechanisms [a2, a4, c1]

3. Apply vector algebra, complex number and numerical methods for motion study of linkages and mechanisms [a2]

4. Conduct mechanisms' synthesis for motion [c1, k1, k2]

5. Make analysis-based design decisions to select mechanism types and dimensions [e, c1, k1, k2]

6. Utilize computer-aided design tools in engineering design problems [k1, k2, e, c1]

7. Write well-organized project reports to communicate accurately and effectivly with equations, drawings and narratives. [g]
