gained from experimentation, students design
and conduct their own group experiments.
Both written and oral technical reports are
required.
ME 162. Computer-Aided Design (3)
Prerequisites: ME 2, 26, 140, 145 (or concur-rently).
Survey of computer applications for
design, analysis of mechanical systems, and
manufacturing of mechanical components.
Typical programming language software
packages used in industry (CAD/CAM and
FEA) will be introduced.
ME 164. Machine Design (3)
Prerequisites: ME 135 (or concurrently),
145, 154; ENGR 105W or successful
completion of university writing exam.
Open-ended design problems of complete
machine systems. Integration of prerequisite
course material into final design project.
Satisfies the senior major requirement for
the B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. (Two
3-hour lecture-labs)
ME 166. Energy Systems Design (3)
Prerequisites: ME 135, 145, 156; ENGR
105W or successful completion of university
writing exam. Design of conventional and
alternative energy conversion systems, i.e. so-lar;
selection and integration of components
of the system; use of codes and standards.
Group project report required. Satisfies the
senior major requirement for the B.S. in
Mechanical Engineering.
ME 180. Special Projects
(1-3; max total 3)
Prerequisites: senior standing in mechanical
engineering, department-approved writ-ing
course or approved subject; successful
completion of writing exam. Study of a prob-lem
under supervision of a faculty member;
final typewritten report required. Individual
project except by special permission.

Cooperative Internship
(1-6; max total 12)
Prerequisite: permission of adviser. Engi-neering
practice in an industrial or govern-ment
installation. Each cooperative intern-ship
period usually spans a summer-fall or
spring-summer interval. This course cannot
be used to meet graduation requirements.
CR/NC grading only.
