COURSE TITLE EFF YEAR EFF TERM DEPARTMENT CREDIT HOURS
ME493 WEAPONS ENGINEERING 2022 2 Civil and Mechanical Engineering 3.0 (BS=0.0, ET=3.0, MA=0.0)
SCOPE
Weapons Engineering is an introductory course in armament and ordnance theory with an emphasis on analysis, design, and testing of ground combat weapon systems. The course covers the underlying principles affecting the generation and application of combat power at scales ranging from small arms (pistols, rifles) to large cannons (tank guns, howitzers). Theory is verified with laboratory exercises and experimental data. Concept analysis and component design problems are interspersed throughout the course, and a semester long Engineering Design Project (EDP) unifies the main course elements with a contemporarily relevant problem.
LESSONS: 30 @ 75 min (2.000 Att/wk) LABS: 6 @ 75 min
