Course Description:
This course requires junior and senior engineering students to perform significant independent engineering design using skills acquired from a broad range of previous engineering courses. Simultaneously, it provides practical experience designing, testing and using transducers for measuring mechanical properties such as displacement, velocity, acceleration, force, temperature and pressure. Transducers are interfaced to electrical and computer subsystems for data collection and subsequent numerical analysis. CAD design, machining and finite-element analysis of structures are introduced. These design principles are then applied in a term design project. The lecture part of the course is used to present new analytical theory and experimental methods, such as how to perform finite-element analysis of structures, and how to interpret spec sheets. The laboratory is used to implement and test the design projects. |
