ME404 (Version: 2021 1) COURSE DETAILS


COURSE TITLE EFF YEAR EFF TERM DEPARTMENT CREDIT HOURS
ME404 MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DESIGN 2021 1 Civil and Mechanical Engineering 3.5 (BS=0.0, ET=3.5, MA=0.0)
SCOPE
This course serves as the first half of the mechanical engineering capstone design experience. Cadets apply the Mechanical Engineering Design Process and their knowledge of math, science, and engineering mechanics to design solutions to real-world engineering problems. They must address public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors. Students begin capstone assignments early in the course and continue their projects with ME496.
LESSONS: 20 @ 150 min (2.000 Att/wk) LABS: 10 @ 150 min

ME404 MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DESIGN 2020 1 Civil and Mechanical Engineering 3.5 (BS=0.0, ET=3.5, MA=0.0)
SCOPE
This course introduces mechanical engineering design as an iterative decision making process. It also introduces engineering economics and ethics. One engineering design problem reinforces the design process instruction. Cadets begin an integrative capstone design experience that applies the Mechanical Engineering Design Process to a real-world engineering problem addressing social, political, economic, and technical issues. Students begin capstone assignments early in the course and continue their projects with ME496.
