This course provides an advanced treatment of machine elements such as bearings, springs, gears, cams, and mechanisms. Analysis of these elements includes extensive application of core engineering curriculum including solid mechanics and fluid dynamics. The course offers practice in skills needed for machine design such as estimation, drawing, and experimentation. Students work in small teams to design and build machines that address real-world challenges.

Special software is required to use some of the files in this course: .mcd, .sldasm, .sldprt, .swj, .wm, .xmcd, .xls, and .zip.
