Course Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of the course, students will be able to:
1. Describe techniques of modeling using conservation laws of physics and engineering properties, system model representations, and techniques for solving different representations of differential equations.
2. Formulate engineering models for mechanical engineering systems, electrical systems, fluid systems, thermal systems, and mixed systems (i.e., systems composed combinations of mechanical, fluid, electrical, and/or thermal components).
3. Use simulation software Matlab to simulate time response behavior of the modeled systems.
Engineering Software Tools: Matlab, Excel
Grading:
1. (15%) Computer Simulation Case Studies and Homeworks. You must submit your work before 5PM in the Mechanical Engineering office on the due date, and on the cover page, write your last name and homework number. The lowest score of your homework and case study will be dropped. NO late assignment will be accepted. You are encouraged to work with other students in the class, but you must write your own solution for submission.
2. (75%) 3 Exams.
3. (10%) Class participation and attendance. Your attendance will be recorded and two absences will be dropped from the attendance sheets.
