ME 1A: ME THEORY

ME 10AX: Design Thinking and the Art of Innovation

This seminar will introduce students to techniques that designers use to create highly innovative solutions to wicked problems that cross domains. The project-based class will emphasize approaches to problem identification and problem solving. Along with a survey of tools such as need finding, structured brainstorming, synthesis, rapid prototyping, and visual communication, the class will include field trips to a local design firm, a robotics lab, and a prototyping lab. A secondary goal of the seminar is to introduce students to the pleasures of creative design and hands-on development of tangible solutions. Design has a unique approach to looking at both the problem domain and the solution domain in issues where technology, social issues, human behavior, and business needs overlap.
Terms: Aut | Units: 2 | UG Reqs: WAY-CE
Instructors: Burnett, W. (PI)

ME 12N: The Jet Engine

Preference to freshmen. How a jet engine works; the technologies and analytical techniques required to understand them. Dynamics, thermodynamics, turbomachinery, combustion, advanced materials, cooling technologies, and control systems. Visits to research laboratories, examination of a partially disassembled engine, and probable operation of a small jet engine. Prerequisites: high school physics.

Instructors: Eaton, J. (PI)

ME 15: Growing creativity: Education Reform in New York City

Preparation for Alternative Spring Break program. Current issues in education with a focus on the New York City area. Emphasis will be placed on design thinking and the creative process. Enrollment limited to Growing Creativity ASB 2011 participants.
Terms: Win | Units: 1
Instructors: Kelley, D. (PI)

ME 16N: The Science of Flames

Preference to freshmen. The roles that chemistry and fluid dynamics play in governing the behaviors of flames. Emphasis is on factors that affect flame microstructure, external appearance, and on the fundamental physical and chemical processes that cause flames and fires to propagate. Topics: history, thermodynamics, and pollutant formation in flames. Trips to labs where flames are studied. Prerequisites: high school physics.

ME 18Q: Teamology: Creative Teams and Individual Development

Preference to sophomores. Roles on a problem solving team that best suit individual creative characteristics. Two teams are formed for teaching experientially how to develop less conscious abilities from teammates creative in those roles. Reinforcement teams have members with similar personalities; problem solving teams are composed of people with maximally different personalities.

Instructors: Wilde, D. (PI)

ME 19: Pre-field Course for Alternative Spring Break: Design for Social Change

Focus is on applying design, technology and innovation to catalyze social change. Topics include identifying social needs, learning different brainstorming methods, developing an applicable service model or product, prototyping, implementation, and reiteration. Reading and service components, followed by week-long Alternative Spring Break trip. See http://d4sc.blogspot.com. Enrollment limited to 12. May be repeated for credit.
Terms: Win | Units: 1 | Repeatable 1 times (up to 1 units total)
Instructors: Sheppard, S. (PI)

ME 21N: Renaissance Machine Design

Preference to freshmen. Technological innovations of the 1400s that accompanied the proliferation of monumental art and architecture by Brunelleschi, da Vinci, and others who designed machines and invented novel construction, fresco, and bronze-casting techniques. The social and political climate, from the perspective of a machine designer, that made possible and demanded engineering expertise from prominent artists. Hands-on projectsto provide a physical understanding of Renaissance-era engineering challenges and introduce the pleasure of creative engineering design. Technical background not required.

Instructors: Cutkosky, M. (PI)

ME 25N: Global Warming and Climate Change: Fact or Fiction

Preference to freshmen. Scientific arguments concerning debates between the view that anthropogenic activities are not causing global warming versus the view that these activities are responsible for a global warming that results in significant climate change. Consequences of increased demand for energy. Prerequisites: high school physics, chemistry, and biology.
Terms: Win | Units: 3
Instructors: Bowman, C. (PI)

ME 26N: Think Like a Designer

Introduces students to techniques designers use to create highly innovative solutions across domains. The project-based class will emphasize approaches to problem identification and problem solving. Topics include need-finding, structured brainstorming, synthesis, rapid prototyping, and visual communication; field trips to a local design firm, a robotics lab, and a machining lab. A secondary goal of the seminar is to introduce students to the pleasures of creative design and hands-on development of tangible solutions.
