L.EGR 338 - Machine Design

Credits: 3

This is an applied design course. It will provide engineering students basic tools for the selection of appropriate components of a broader system. The class will also emphasize discovery and self-education in this field, as students will almost certainly be exposed to new and different technologies post graduation. Introduction to various tools for machine design. Topics include failure of solids, kinematics, and factors guiding the design and selection of various common machine elements, such as gears, bearings, fasteners, etc. Both empirical methods and those based on first principles with be developed, applied, and discussed.
