ME 357&358 General Course Information Course Description This course will cover the basics of mechanism and machine design.Specific topics will include kinematics,dynamics,mechanism synthesis,design and selection of machine components,and actuators This is a project-based course where students will work in teams to complete project. Prerequisites ME 250 Design and Manufacturing I is a pre-requisite for this course.You are expected to have (i)a basic working knowledge of elementary mechanics such as statics,dynamics and strength of materials. (ii)basic machine shop skills(i.e.,lathe,mill,drill,etc.)and (iii)working knowledge of a commercial CAD program-IDEAS,Unigraphics,ProEngineer or AutoCAD(preferably Unigraphics). Course Objectives The goal of this course is to give each student an understanding of the basic engineering principles behind mechanical machines and teach them how to integrate their engineering knowledge to synthesize and analyze simple mechanical systems and components.At the end of the course students should be able to do the following in either a team setting or individually: 1. Define the engineering requirements for a mechanical system or component 2. Conceptualize a set of designs that will fulfill the specifications keeping in mind manufacturing issues and identify components needed for a given system design. 3. Identify standard mechanical components and explain how they work. 4. Basic kinematic and kinetostatic analysis of mechanical systems. 5. Derive and/or apply general mechanical engineering science in analyses specific to the design of mechanical components. 6. Anticipate the modes of failure and expected service lifetime of mechanical systems and the components within the system using engineering principles. 7. Weigh tradeoffs in concept and detail design from the perspectives of function,manufacture, design effort and nature of a posed problem to select standard components from a catalog and design special components as needed. 8. Prepare engineering instructions(toleranced drawings and text)to manufacture mechanical systems and components. 9. Build basic mechanical machines and components and assemble components using tools available in the machine shop. 10.Test and evaluate simple machine systems and components for performance and failure behavior 11. Critique and redesign mechanical systems and components for enhanced performance and reliability. Fall 2011 ME357&358 Page 2

ME 357&358 General Course Information Course Format and Policies Lecture Cooperative Learning methods will be used during this course.These methods depend heavily on teamwork.Students will be assigned to groups of three to four that will work together the entire semester.It is expected that the students within a team will work together on homework,projects and in- class activities.Students are requested to sit together with their team mates in class to help facilitate them working together on in-class activities.It is expected that each team during the semester will experience some conflict.What is important is that the teams deal with this conflict in a positive and constructive manner.Teams having problems working together should make every effort to resolve them by themselves.If that doesn't work,see the course instructor for help.Students who consistently fail to pull their weight can as a last resort be fired with permission of the instructor and unanimous vote of the remaining team members.Firing a student is a serious procedure and should not be taken lightly. Please consult the course instructor for the procedure.Students repeatedly carrying the load for their teammates can as a last resort quit with permission from the instructor.Students who either are fired or quit must find another group with three members willing to unanimously take them on. Design Labs The design labs are two hours long and the format will vary for each.The focus of these design labs will be on the projects and in class exercises.Some of the period will be used to hand out,explain and discuss the projects.Time will be available for student groups to work on in class exercises and project(design,analysis,building,etc).All projects will be tested and evaluated during the design labs. Since the projects are an integral part of the course attendance at the design labs is required.This period will also be used for clarification of course material,problem solving and questions on homework and exams. Homework and Projects Homework will be assigned in class and project descriptions will be handed out in the design labs.Both homework and projects are to be completed by your class team and cooperation among everyone in the class is encouraged.This is the time to learn.However,you are not allowed to possess, look at,use or in anyway derive advantage from the existence of solution(paper or apparatus)prepared in prior years whether these solutions were former students'work or copies of solutions that had been made available by me or other instructors.Violation of this policy will be considered violation of the honors policy and will be filed with the Honor's Council. Penalties may be imposed on homework,project reports and exams for lack of neatness, legibility or clear organization of your work.On each design report,put the names and roles of the participating group members on the outside.If a student's name appears on the report,it certifies that he/she has participated in solving the problems.Students whose names do not appear will receive zeros Exams There will be two exams given.Exams are to be completed individually and students are not allowed to work together on the exams.For each exam the students are expected to sign the Honor Code.Since the course material builds upon previous material all exams will be comprehensive.You may use your textbook for the exam.Make-up exams will be given only in exceptional cases (determined by the instructor).If you have a conflict with the exam day you must see the instructor BEFORE the exam so that arrangements for a make-up exam may be made.Once the exam has started no make-up exams will be granted and the missed exam will receive a zero score.

Machine Shop Usage It is expected that you have received machine shop training during ME 250 and are certified to use the machines in the machine shop.If you do not have this certification then it is your responsibility to gain it as soon as possible since it will be needed for completion of the projects.Incomplete machine shop training will not be accepted as an excuse for your projects.If you do not have this training,please inform the course instructor immediately so that arrangements can be made for training. The machine shop is a highly used resource in the department and shop time is very valuable. Missing a machine-shop time slot will be considered a serious offense.There will be a 5%penalty accessed your team project for each two-hour machine-shop slot missed.In addition,there will be a 2 point penalty (out of 100)applied to the final course grade total of the offending individual for every two-hour machine-shop time slot missed.If missing machine-shop slots becomes habitual,machine shop privileges will be revoked.
