ME 485 - Advanced Mechanical Design

Lecture Hours: 2
Lab Hours: 2
Credit Hours: 3

Extended use of the finite element method in the design of mechanical elements. Optimization techniques in mechanical design, dimensional analysis and modeling, graphical and analytical synthesis of mechanisms, and selection of motors. There will be a semester long design. The student will have the opportunity to work on a project that includes many of the mechanical elements discussed in the previous course work. Prerequisite(s): ME 425
