MENG 4240 - Senior Design Project I

Credit Hours: 2 Lecture: 0 Lab: 6

Fee Type: Special
Fee ($): 75

This is the second course of a three-course sequence in which student teams apply the techniques learned in MENG 3314 to design and prototype practical engineering systems to meet customer requirements and realistic constraints. This course covers project planning, project specification and scoping, quality function deployment (QFD), functional decomposition, preliminary design and initial prototype development, including preliminary analysis and testing. The students gain experience in written and oral engineering communications and applying knowledge and techniques acquired during their engineering education. Students must reasonably expect to complete their mechanical engineering degree requirements within 2 long semesters upon completion of this course. Successful completion of (with a grade of C or better) or concurrent enrollment in MENG 4310 or MENG 4343 is required.

Prerequisites: MENG 3314, MENG 4310, MENG 4343
Corequisites: MENG 4310, MENG 4343.
