Terms: Sum | Units: 2 | UG Reqs: WAY-CE

ME 102: Foundations of Product Realization

Students develop the language and toolset to transform design concepts into tangible models/prototypes that cultivate the emergence of mechanical aptitude. Visual communication tools such as sketching, orthographic projection, and 2D/3D design software are introduced in the context of design and prototyping assignments. Instruction and practice with hand, powered, and digital prototyping tools in the Product Realization Lab support students implementation and iteration of physical project work. Project documentation, reflection, and in-class presentations are opportunities for students to find their design voice and practice sharing it with others. Prerequisite: ME 1 or ME 101 or consent of instructor.

ME 199A: Practical Training

For undergraduate students. Educational opportunities in high technology research and development labs in industry. Students engage in internship work and integrate that work into their academic program. Following internship work, students complete a research report outlining work activity, problems investigated, key results, and follow-up projects they expect to perform. Meets the requirements for curricular practical training for students on F-1 visas. Student is responsible for arranging own internship/employment and faculty sponsorship. Register under faculty sponsor's section number. All paperwork must be completed by student and faculty sponsor, as the Student Services Office does not sponsor CPT. Students are allowed only two quarters of CPT per degree program. Course may be repeated twice.
Terms: Sum | Units: 1 | Repeatable 3 times (up to 3 units total)

ME 248: Silver Pendant Project

In ME248 a C/NC class, students design and create a silver pendant. Beginning with a basic introduction to design and CAD, students use a computer aided design tool to create a 3D model of their pendant design. Next, using machines and processes at the Product Realization Lab, students build a version of their part in a wax-like material. This part is then used in a lost-wax investment casting process to turn the printed part into a cast silver part. Finally, the students are introduced to a set of hand tools they will use to turn their cast silver part into a finished silver pendant. Students who take ME248 for 1 unit complete one pendant, and take 4 2 hour labs: wax part preparation lab, casting lab, and two finishing labs. Students who take ME248 for 2 units complete a second project beyond the initial pendant, and in addition to the 4 labs will do 3 additional 2 hour labs: a wax printing lab, a sprueing/gating lab and an investing lab. This course must be taken for 2 units to be eligible for Ways credit. Summer offering not eligible for Ways credit.

ME 344: Introduction to High Performance Computing

High performance computing (HPC) is a field at the forefront of a range of high tech applications such as computational fluid dynamics, image processing, and financial risk management. With the demands of machine learning outstripping conventional computing, HPC is also at the forefront of artificial intelligence. This course will discuss how HPC clusters are used in large-scale problems in academia and industry alike. Students will learn about HPC clusters from the ground up and gain a solid foundation in parallel computer architectures, cluster operating systems, resource management, and containers. They will build their own systems via remote installation of physical hardware, configuration and optimization of a high-speed network, and integration of other technologies used throughout the HPC world. Classes consist of lectures reinforced with assignments on HPC systems located in a teaching laboratory, where discussion and collaboration will be key components of the course. Students will come away with a solid skill set in a field of computing that has broad implications for science and technology.
