This course presents mechanical engineering design as an iterative decision-making process. A wide variety of mathematics, science, and engineering fundamentals are applied to the synthesis, analysis, and evaluation of mechanical components integral to Army applications. The culminating design project provides an opportunity to experience design and to consider reliability, economics, and the judicious use of resources. Design and build projects reinforce the design process instruction. The course culminates in a student competition. ***This course is provisionally approved for the Aero-Mech Engineering Sequence and must undergo review by the Curriculum Committee NLT AY28-2 to continue. Pending ABET-PEV review of 3.0 ET credits.***
