Contribution of course to meeting the professional component

This course contributes primarily to the students' knowledge of engineering topics, but does not provide design experience. The following statement indicates which of the following considerations are included in this course: economic, environmental, ethical, political, societal, health and safety, manufacturability, sustainability.

Thermodynamics is an engineering science that is central to most mechanical engineering applications. This course provides an introduction to the thermodynamic concepts that will be required in following courses and in professional applications. The course provides a background for understanding how energy systems such as engines and refrigerators operate.

Relationship of course to undergraduate degree program objectives and outcomes

This course primarily serves students in the department. The information below describes how the course contributes to the undergraduate program objectives.

This course introduces students to the design and analysis of thermal systems. Students learn to formulate and solve thermal systems problems, and integrate this analysis into the optimal design of thermal systems. Students must communicate solutions in a manner consistent with engineering practice.

Assessment of student progress toward course objectives

Instructors require three or four one-hour midterm examinations plus a two-hour final examination. Daily or weekly homework assignments are required and reviewed by the instructor.

Course objectives Course Objectives: The primary objective of ME 240 is to introduce students to the concepts of dynamics. The students are expected to develop working skills in the dynamic analysis of both particles and rigid bodies. A special emphasis is placed on mechanical components, such as mechanisms, linkages, and gears. Course Outcomes: Students must have the ability to: 1. Develop the kinematics of displacement, velocity and acceleration for systems of particles and rigid bodies. 2. Determine the dynamic response of the system to applied loadings, using Newton's Laws. 3. Apply the Principle of Work and Energy and the Principle of Impulse and Momentum to mechanical systems. 4. Analyse the motion of sliders, linkages, and gears regarding their performance and mechanical attributes. Topics covered

Kinematics of Particles - Rectilinear and Curvilinear Motion Kinetics of Particles - Newton's Second Law Kinetics of Particles - Principle of Work and Energy Kinetics of Particles - Principle of Impulse and Momentum Systems of Particles Kinematics of Rigid Bodies - General Plane Motion

Kinematics of Rigid Bodies - Rotating Axes, Coriolis Acceleration Planar Kinetics of Rigid Bodies - Newton's Second Law Planar Kinetics of Rigid Bodies - Principle of Work and Energy Planar Kinetics of Rigid Bodies - Principle of Impulse and Momentum Planar Kinetics of Rigid Bodies - Linkages and Mechanisms

Class/laboratory schedule

The course consists of three classes per week; each class is 50 minutes in duration.

Contribution of course to meeting the professional component

This course contributes primarily to the students' knowledge of engineering topics, but does not provide design experience. The following statement indicates which of the following considerations are included in this course: economic, environmental, ethical, political, societal, health and safety, manufacturability, sustainability.

Manufacturability, safety and environmental issues are considered throughout the course as they apply to the topics addressed.

Relationship of course to undergraduate degree program objectives and outcomes

This course primarily serves students in the department. The information below describes how the course contributes to the undergraduate program objectives.

ME 240 provides training in the basic fundamental concepts of dynamics, that part of mechanics which deals with bodies in motion. A principal goal of the course is to develop a base of understanding and knowledge focusing on the dynamic response of mechanical systems to external loading conditions.

Assessment of student progress toward course objectives

Homework Problems Quizzes (both in-class and take-home) Mid-term Exam Final Exam Design Projects (both individual and team projects) Special Projects
