Learning the use of computer aided design tools for preparing complex solid parts, assemblies, and their dimensioned drawings. Learn to apply black-box simulation tools for stress analysis, heat transfer, vibration, etc. of complex parts and assemblies. CMOR 220, MECH 210 or equivalent programming experience is recommended.

An interdisciplinary capstone design experience in mechanical engineering. This course provides an opportunity for students to apply knowledge and skills acquired in previous courses to the solution of a realistic engineering problem. Teams of students will specify, design, and build a system to meet a prescribed set of requirements. The topics covered in this course will include design methodology, effective teamwork, project management, documentation, and presentation skills. Must complete MECH 408 to receive credit for MECH 407. Required for mechanical engineering majors in B.S. program. MECH 342 may be taken concurrently.

Independent investigation of a specific topic or problem in mechanical engineering. Research under the direction of a selected faculty member. Repeatable for Credit.
