ETME 1112. CAD Modeling II. (3) Prerequisite: ETMEGR 1111 with a grade of C or above. A continuation of ETMEGR 1111. Introduces the student to advanced modeling techniques employed in Computer-Aided-Drawing (CAD). Topics include: the use of linked features in drawings, traditional and geometric tolerancing, custom templates, assemblies, and basic animation.
ETME 2102. Mechanisms. (3) Prerequisites: ETMEGR 1111, ETGR 2171, and PHYS 1101 with grades of C or above. Plane motion and devices used to generate plane motion. Topics include: analysis of displacement, velocity, acceleration, gears, cams, and other mechanical systems. (Spring)
ETME 3100. Junior Design Practicum. (2) Prerequisites: ENGL 1102 and, ETME 2100, and ETME 3133 with grades of C or above. Pre- or corequisite: ETME 3143. Corequisite: ETME 3100L. A Junior-level design studio focused on a more complex, but still completely defined, thermo-fluids and energy system based design challenge. Projects are completed in teams (2-3) and introduce students to group project dynamics, advanced machine shop techniques, data acquisition and analysis. Also reinforces topics learned in previous courses such as the design process, project management, formal report style writing, math modeling (Excel, MATLAB, MathCad and EES), documentation generation (Drawings + Procedure), final project demonstrations, and analytical modeling.
ETME 3113. Dynamics. (3) Prerequisites: ETGR 2101 and PHYS 1101 with grades of C or above; ETGR 2272; and ETME 2102; Co-requisite: 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 3123. Strength of Materials. (3) Prerequisites: ETGR 2101 with a grade of C or above, and ETGR 2272; Co-requisite: ETGR 2272. Stress-strain relationships resulting from direct loads, torsional loads and bending loads, and the results obtained from applying more than one of these loads simultaneously. Beam deflection and column loading.
ETME 3133. Fluid Mechanics. (3) Prerequisites: ETGR 1100L, ETGR 2101, and ETGR 2272 with gardesa grade of C or above;. Co-requisite: ETGR 2171. Fundamental principles of fluid mechanics. Topics include: manometry, buoyancy, forces on submerged bodies, boundary layers, flow over surfaces, Bernoulli's equation with applications, orifices, pipe losses, and an introduction to hydrodynamics.
ETME 3150. Applied CAD Modeling and Simulation. (3) Prerequisite: ETME 1112 with a grade of C or above; and ETME 2102. Pre or coCorequisites: ETME 3123 and ETME 3113. 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.
ETGR 4100. Capstone Design Project I. (2) (O, W) Prerequisites: All Freshman-, Sophomore-, and Junior-level technical courses. Pre- or co-requisite: ETME 4163 and ETME 4244. First of a two-semester course sequence in which student teams implement a Senior-level design project which demonstrates abilities as developed by the coursework taken thus far. Project planning techniques are utilized to make substantial progress toward implementation of a design solution. One class hour and three lab hours per week.
