Teaching Activities
ME 413 SYSTEMS DYNAMICS AND CONTROL
Dynamics of mechanical, fluid, electrical and thermal systems.
Equations of motion. Dynamic response of elementary systems. Transfer
functions and pole-zero diagrams. Simulation of dynamics of complex
systems. Dynamic stability of systems. Open and closed-loop systems.
Basic control actions.
Prerequisite: ME 201, MATH 301
ME 413 SYSTEMS DYNAMICS AND CONTROL LABORATORY
Laboratory sessions involving use of computers for simulation of dynamic systems and analysis of control systems.
Prerequisite: ME 201, MATH 301
ME 415 DESIGN PROJECT
A course that integrates various components of the curriculum in a comprehensive engineering experience so that basic sciences, mathematics and engineering sciences which the student has learned in his freshmen-to-senior years of study can be applied. It considers design of a complete project or system including establishment of objectives and criteria, formation of the problem statements, preparation of specifications, considerations of alternative solutions, feasibility considerations and detailed engineering designs. The design should take into consideration appropriate constraints, such as economic factors, safety, reliability, ethics, environmental and social impact. Submission of a written report is an essential requirement for completion of the course. Team design projects are highly encouraged.
Prerequisite: Senior standing
