ETME 2100. Sophomore Design Practicum. (2) Prerequisites: UWRT 1100, ETGR 1201, and ETME 1111 1112 with grades of C or above. Pre or corequisites: ETME 1112 and ETME 2130. Corequisite: ETME 2100L. A Sophomore-level design practicum focused on a simple, defined mechanical design challenge. Projects are completed individually and introduce students to the design process, project management, machine shop fabrication techniques, memo style report writing and final project demonstrations. Also reinforces topics learned in previous courses such as CAD modeling, documentation generation (drawings), and analytical modeling.
ETME 3113. Dynamics. (3) Prerequisites: ETGR 2101 and PHYS 1101 with grades of C or above; and ETME 2102. Corequisite: ETGR 2272. The dynamic behavior of particles; translation, rotation and plane motion of a rigid body, the principles of conservation of energy and momentum.
ETME 3133L. Fluid Mechanics Laboratory. (1) (W) Prerequisites: ETGR 1100L and UWRT 1102 with grades of C or above. Pre- or corequisite: ETME 3133. Flow through conduits and hydraulic components and in open channels. The experimental determination of viscosity, viscous forces, and resulting power losses. Flow measuring devices such as orifices, venturi tubes, anemometers and pitot tubes. Laminar and turbulent flow. Performance of rotating machines such as Pelton turbines, centrifugal fans, and hydrostatic transmissions.
ETME 3143. Thermodynamics. (3) Prerequisites: ETME 3133 with grade of C or above; CHEM 1251; and ETGR 2272. Pre- or corequisite: ETME 3100. Fundamentals of thermodynamics including work and heat; classical approach to first and second laws of thermodynamics; ideal gas, entropy, reversibility, irreversibility, and study of various processes and cycles.
ETME 3150. Applied CAD Modeling and Simulation. (3) Prerequisites: ETME 1112 with grade of C or above; and ETME 2102; and . Pre- or corequisite: ETME 3123. A continuation of ETME 1112. Introduces the use of some of the tools available for the analysis of parametrically-constructed CAD models. Topics include: the finite element method, finite element analysis (FEA), the use of FEA for stress analysis, thermal analysis, and motion studies, and the important distinctions between FEA results, theoretical results, and experimental results.
ETME 3213. Machine Design I. (3) Prerequisites: ETME 2130, ETME 3113, and ETME 3123. Pre-or corequisite: ETME 3100. Analysis and design of clutches, brakes, belts and roller chain. Indeterminate normal loading, superposition of stresses and deflections, compound stresses, columns, and fatigue. Theories of failure. Shaft design, deflections of shafts with non-uniform moments of inertia involving computer verification. Antifriction bearings, engineering materials, helical compression springs. Small mechanical component and system designs.
