This is a technical elective for students who have skills and interest in
serving as undergraduate mentors for design/manufacturing projects within
the ME Department. Special emphasis is given to advanced
SolidWorks toolbars related to finite element analysis, computational fluid
dynamics/heat transfer, and multi-physics animation. Students enrolled
in the course will collaborate with instructors and graduate student mentors
in creating instructional resources for use in future ME 490 courses and
exemplary design documentation surrounding a manufacturing mini-project.
An overview of course outcomes is given in the attached
PowerPoint.
