ME 29SI: Cars: A Crash Course

Focus is on the basic mechanics and significance of cars. Topics include a basic, real-world understanding of automobile workings, histories, industries, cultural impact, and related media. Field trips to Tesla Motors and Go-Kart Racer will be organized, and there will be guest appearances by local automotive historians and enthusiasts. Students will get hands on experience with maintaining real cars, see high performance engines run, and have the opportunity to learn how to drive a manual transmission.

ME 301: Design and Launch your Product or Service

Apply principles of design thinking to the real-life challenge of imagining, prototyping, testing and iterating, building, marketing, and selling your product or service. Work will be in teams (you apply as an intact team) or alone. You must submit a proposal and team for approval. Proposal can be a physical good or service of any kind. Projects are treated as real start-ups, so the work will be intense. Proposal submitted by Feb 15, 2010 acceptance by March 1.
Terms: Spr | Units: 4

ME 302: The Future of the Automobile (CS 523)

Guest speakers from academia and industry present their research results, share their visions, explain challenges, and offer solutions regarding individual transportation. Students are requested to draft brief write-ups on selected topics that will be discussed in class to develop an understanding of the interactions of technology, business, and society with a specific automotive focus. No specific technical background is required as it is encouraged that everyone brings in specific expertise regarding the automobile as a student, researcher, and/or consumer.

ME 304: The Designer's Voice

How to develop a point of view about a design career in order to articulate a design vision, inspire a design studio, or infect a business with a culture of design thinking. Focus is on the integration of work and worldview, professional values, design language, and the development of the designer¿s voice. Role play, guest speakers, individual mentoring and coaching, student journals. Restricted to Joint Product in Design graduate students.
Terms: Win | Units: 1

ME 309: Finite Element Analysis in Mechanical Design

Basic concepts of finite elements, with applications to problems confronted by mechanical designers. Linear static, modal, and thermal formulations; nonlinear and dynamic formulations. Students implement simple element formulations. Application of a commercial finite element code in analyzing design problems. Issues: solution methods, modeling techniques, features of various commercial codes, basic problem definition.
