Introduction to Design (AKA IMA) - MEEG 2103
About This Course
In this course student learn how to systematically design a product through a hands-on, team-based competition. Students learn tools for capturing customer requirements, developing creative concepts, applying engineering analysis to make decisions, and how to manufacture functional prototypes. This course relies on and builds upon students knowledge of 3D CAD modeling, engineering analysis, mechatronics, and traditional and advanced manufacturing technologies.
Machine Element Design - MEEG 4904
About This Course
In this course student learn about how machine components can fail under static and fluctuating loads. Students apply these concepts to real products in class to understand how engineers make design decisions. Students also develop a novel design for a power transmission system that is optimized against realistic customer requirements.
Dr. Jensen redesigned this course using a teaching approach where students study the course fundamentals through lecture videos at their own pace and class time is spent working in teams to apply those concepts. Students gain experience working on realistic problems in environments that are similar to an industrial workplace. This approach is based on advances in learning science including team-based learning (more about TBL here) and situated cognition (more information here).
Student’s apply course concepts to real products.
