Stress and deformation resulting from axial, torsion and bending loads. Shear and moment diagrams, Mohr’s circle for stress and strain and buckling of columns.

MEGR 2156. Design Projects Laboratory I. (2) Prerequisites: ENGR1201, ENGR1202, PHYS 2102, and MEGR 2141, all with a grade of C or above, and MATH 2241. Corequisite: MEGR 2180 Manufacturing Systems. Introduction to design as well as the fundamentals of manufacturing, including computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Emphasis will be placed on design visualization, functional analysis, and design prototyping. Student designs will be manufactured to verify design concepts.

MEGR 2180. Manufacturing Systems. (3) Prerequisites: ENGR 1202, PHYS 2102L, and MEGR 2141, all with a grade of C or above, and MATH 2241. Corequisite: MEGR 2156. The course will impart a broad overview of manufacturing materials, processes, and procedures. Topics include mechanical behavior and physical properties, basic materials, casting, rolling, forming, welding, cutting, surfaces, engineering metrology, quality assurance, and automation. Basic concepts of engineering economics and cost estimating. The economics of manufacturing will also be introduced, including the time value of money, economic analysis, and cost estimating.

MEGR 2240. Computational Methods for Engineers. (3) Prerequisites: MEGR 2141 with a grade of C or above and MATH 2241. Automated engineering analysis and synthesis techniques based on software engineering principles. Overview of data representation and computing languages. Program development using programming languages and off-the shelf software packages. Study of numerical methods, potential errors, and computational stability. emphasis on effective design, testing, and debugging practices.

MEGR 3171. Introduction to Measurements and Instrumentation. (2) Prerequisites: ECGR 2161 and MATH 2241, both with a grade of C or above. Corequisite: MEGR 3171L. Statistical analysis of experimental data, curve fitting. Operational amplifiers and signal conditioning techniques for remote monitoring. Computer data acquisition, interfaces and techniques, RS-232 and GPIB interface buses. Discussion of the principles involved in the use of sensors and transducers in measurements of linear and angular displacement, velocity and acceleration, temperature, force, pressure, torque and flow. Introduction to dynamic measurements and frequency analysis.

MEGR 3114. Fluid Mechanics. (3) Prerequisites: MATH 2241 and MEGR 3121, both with a grade of C or above. Basic concepts of a fluid and the fundamentals of ideal and real fluid flow. Topics include fluid statics, conservation principles, Bernoulli’s equation, fluid flow in pipes, and measurement devices.

MEGR 3225. Introduction to Finite Element Analysis. (3) Prerequisites: MEGR 2144, and MEGR 2240, and MATH 2171, bothall with grades of C or above. Technical Elective. The basic concepts of finite element analysis (FEA) are introduced. The necessary concepts from linear algebra are reviewed. Simple elements such as truss and beam elements are emphasized, with an introduction to continuum elements for structural analysis. Introduction to heat transfer elements for steady state conduction and convection. Mathematics software is used to illustrate such concepts as the finite element assembly process, and the solution of the primary unknowns. A commercially available finite element code is also introduced.
