This course is the capstone design class for the Mechanical Engineering program, focusing on the synthesis and design of mechanical engineering components and systems. Students work in groups as design teams to solve engineering design problems for companies and not-for-profits. Each design group has four students and is assigned a faculty advisor to guide their progress. This is a two-term course spanning from September 2020 to April 2021. Companies submit project proposals in July and August. The course begins in September and concludes in April. During this time, the group works with their company to set objectives, determine the scope of the work, evaluate potential design options, and develop a solution that meet's the company's needs. Design groups will search the literature, brainstorm design alternatives, analyze and test the promising alternatives, build and test models, simulate processes, and estimate costs.
