This five-week class explores the history of toys, marketing, toy design for different ages, and includes toy dissection, design, prototyping and field testing. It will run in the first 5 weeks of the semester.
First-Year Seminar focusing on the development of technology exploration kits for middle-school-aged children. M E 102S Toys for Technology Exploration: First-Year Seminar (1) This is a First-Year Seminar that focuses on an important sub-group of toys. 'Learning-by-doing' is a recognized method for improving student's learning in grades K-12 (and in college!). As part of 'Toys for Technology Exploration', existing hands-on kits used for science and math education for ages 10-14 will be reviewed. The new standards for science and technology education in Pennsylvania are used to guide new hands-on kit designs, and these designs will be prototyped and field-tested with public school students.Note: Class size, frequency of offering, and evaluation methods will vary by location and instructor. For these details check the specific course syllabus.
Students in this first-year seminar will be exposed to the design, fabrication, and testing of advanced powertrain vehicles and other cutting-edge automotive technologies. This project-based, group-based course gives students the opportunity to become a member of one of the technical departments within the overall Penn State Advanced Vehicle student team and encourages students to interact with upper-class members of that department. In addition to technical skills, emphasis is placed on soft skills required of today's professional engineers including: presentation creation, public speaking, and technical writing.
Students will discuss the wide breadth of research topics in mechanical engineering and how to prepare for a research position. Throughout the course students will participate in tours of state-of-the-art research labs in the Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering department, interact with undergraduate students currently involved in conducting research in the Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering department, practice writing correspondence and making presentations.
A First-Year Seminar focusing on issues related to Mechanical Engineering. M E 190S M E 190S Special Topics in Mechanical Engineering: First-Year Seminar (1) (FYS)In this First-Year Seminar, students will explore the Mechanical Engineering profession by means of treatment of a particular topic in M E. Students will be assigned pertinent readings and the professor will lead discussions on the ethical, professional, and societal aspects of the topic area. The seminar will also feature group activities and encourage participation in the classroom setting.
Basic thermodynamics concepts, properties of pure substances, first and second law analysis of systems and control volumes. M E 300 Engineering Thermodynamics I (3) This course is designed to develop an understanding of thermodynamic concepts and their application for the student by providing an integrative modeling and analysis approach to thermal-fluids systems. The course emphasizes the integration and application of fundamental principles of mass and energy conservation and fundamental ideal gas and non-ideal working fluids concepts to fundamental engineering systems. These systems include basic spark-ignition engines and turbojet engines as well as basic and extended Rankine and refrigeration cycles. Emphasis is on creating engineering models of these systems and indicating how the idealized versions of these systems can be extended to more realistic descriptions. Besides these mass and energy conservation concepts the course introduces the basic concepts of heat transfer and mass flow, providing a foundation in these subjects to be further expanded in later courses. The course aims to develop knowledge and initiate skills for "thinking like an engineer."
This one-credit laboratory course is structured to reinforce the various principles taught in the corresponding 3-credit lecture course - M E 410, Heat Transfer. The laboratory includes several different experiments whose objective is to reintroduce and reinforce the various principles associated with conduction, convection, radiation and heat exchangers. Each laboratory session begins with a thorough review of the relevant material covered in the lecture course, including the use of energy conservation on control volumes related to the experiment and related simplifications. Prior to conducting any experiment, the students are informed about the particular safety issues that vary from one experiment to another. The students are then briefed about the setup of the data acquisition systems, what type of data the need to be collected, and how the data then is coupled to the review of the specific laboratory topic. At the end of the semester, the students should be able to interface a typical data acquisition system with those used in industry and elsewhere. The students generally work in groups to collect data, with reports prepared individually after an experiment is completed.
This course is an introduction to fluid mechanics, and emphasizes fundamental concepts and problem-solving techniques. Topics to be covered include fluid properties (density, viscosity, vapor pressure, surface tension); fluid statics (hydrostatic pressure, pressure forces on planar and curved surfaces); fluid kinematics (flow visualization, vorticity, Reynolds transport theorem); control volume analysis (conservation laws of mass, momentum, and energy, Bernoulli equation); dimensional analysis (dimensional homogeneity, method of repeating variables, experimental testing, similarity); internal flows (pipe flows, major and minor losses, piping networks, matching pumps to systems); differential analysis (Navier-Stokes equation, creeping flow, potential flow, boundary layers); external flows (lift and drag, pressure vs. friction drag); and compressible flow (isentropic flow through nozzles, shock waves). Brief introductions to computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and turbomachinery (pumps and turbines) will also be provided.
The course is designed for students to understand basic concepts of fluid mechanics through analysis of experimental data from various sources. The course emphasizes hands-on experience to take measurements, analyze and interpret experimental data. An important component of this course fosters an ability to write laboratory reports and to creatively generate independent ideas that involve the study of fluid mechanics through development and execution of final project. The course aims to developed teamwork (no hyphen needed, this is one word) skills and advanced proficiency in professional communications and interactions.
This course gives students physical insights as well as introductory skills on the use of modern computational tools in solving mechanical engineering problems. The course has two main thrusts: 1) finite element analysis for structural/thermal mechanics and 2) computational fluid dynamics for fluid flows. Students will use commercial codes to solve fundamental problems associated with statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics. Particular emphasis will be placed on comparing simulation results to analytical solutions. Students will also use the computational tools to parametrically study the solution space that enable informed design strategies. This class will prepare mechanical engineering students to solve technical problems in their courses, summer internships, and ultimately in their engineering career.
The design process; problem definition, conceptual design, system design, detail design, evaluation and test, implementation, documentation and communication. M E 340 Mechanical Engineering Design Methodology (3) This course is intended to provide mechanical engineering students with the fundamental tools to produce an effective design solution in a realistic professional environment with conflicting customer needs and technical capabilities. The students will identify the system design targets through interaction with the 'customer', develop multiple conceptual designs, select the best design solution and produce a functional prototype. The course is project driven with significant input from the students in defining the work objectives and goals. Initially several mini-projects will be assigned with specific objectives such as identifying customer needs, quantifying technical design specifications and decision making. The course culminates with a student team based design competition. The competition provides an opportunity to apply the design process to an open-ended mechanical engineering problem.
