EMCH 467 Mechanical Engineering Laboratory Students make sample computations using MathCad Students use word processing software to write reports and spreadsheets to analyze and present experimental results. Students use Power Point software to make oral presentations. Engineering Analysis Students use numerical solution techniques and computational tools for the implementation of analytic solutions using libraries and packages. Engineering Analysis II Students apply numerical solution techniques to the solution of complex partial differential equations using technological platforms such as programming languages, symbolic manipulators, software packages. Introduction to Finite Element Analysis in Mechanical Engineering Students learn the basic concepts, procedures, and techniques of finite element methods as computational tools for solving boundary-value problems in engineering.
Students use representative custom-made and commercial finite element codes.
Students learn how to apply finite element methods in the design of engineering systems. Students will complete two computer projects and will write reports for the projects using software for word processing, spreadsheet and technical plotting. Computer Aided Manufacturing Students learn boolean logic, and ladder logic in order to program PLCs. Students learn about first and second order control systems and how to optimize closed loop feedback gains to quicken the response and increase the accuracy of positional servo-mechanisms. All assignments are completed using MathCad and submitted electronically.
