MAE Revised and New Course Offerings for
Fall 2009-Spring 2010
- MAE 1130 - Introduction to Computer Aided Manufacture (CAM)
Fall, approx. ten weeks (total 20 hrs. of instruction and 20 hrs. of lab). 1 credit, Limited enrollment. Prerequisites: M&AE 2250 or equivalent experience or permission of instructor.
Introduction to the fundamentals of computer-aided manufacture (CAM) and computer numerical control (CNC) programming. The course is a hands-on series on CAM. Provides practical applications of the use of G codes and solid modeling software, CNC mill and/or lathe setup, tool selection, and operation. The course is required for students wishing to use the CNC equipment in the Emerson Lab's Product Realization Facility for team or research projects. It is also required for advanced CAM/CNC work offered on an individual basis in the Spring. May not be used to fulfill any MAE requirement.
- MAE 4000/5000 Components and Systems: Engineering in a Social Context (also STS 4001)
Fall. 3 credits. Prerequisites: upper-class standing, two years of college physics. Offered alternate years.
Addresses, at a technical level, broader questions than are normally posed in the traditional engineering or physics curriculum. Through the study of individual cases such as the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), the National Missile Defense, supersonic transport, and the automobile and its effect on the environment, the course investigates interactions between the scientific, technical, political, economic, and social forces that are involved in the development of engineering systems. “Senior Design Elective” if students sign up for the corresponding section of MAE 4291. Co-meets with MAE 5000. MAE 4020 Wind Power (As of Fall 2008, fulfills M.E. Senior Design requirement. Click here for more information.
- MAE 4140 Mechanics of Lightweight Vehicles (New offering Fall 2009) Fulfills M.E. Senior Design Requirement and Engineering Materials Concentration and Vehicle Concentration
Fall. 3 credits. Prerequisites: MAE 2120, 3250, MAE 3272 or equivalent. Offered alternate years.
Covers fundamentals of vehicle mechanics for several classes of vehicles (bicycles, light cars, airframes). Topics include: types of vehicle structures; pertinent aspects of mechanical behavior including elastic and inelastic responses; static and dynamic behavior of vehicles under elastic loading; and mechanics of crashworthiness. Lectures cover essential background material for understanding of vehicle mechanics. Labs provide hands-on experiences in the major components of the course. Senior Design Elective if M.E. students enroll in corresponding section of MAE 4291.
-
MAE 4300 Professional Practice in Mechanical Engineering Fall. 2 credits. Prerequisite: senior standing in MAE or permission of instructor. This course is required for M.E. seniors, replacing MAE 4280.
Professional practice and broader impacts of the mechanical engineering profession are presented through a series of lectures and invited talks, supplemented by assignments and projects. Topics include professional ethics, product liability, intellectual property, career/educational paths, contemporary issues facing mechanical engineers, and engineering successes and failures, along with the global, societal, environmental and/or economic aspects and impact of engineering.
