PREREQUISITES: EDG 1212, ENGR 3122, MET 3132 Course Goals To provide a broad understanding of the fundamentals of mechanical engineering design to analyze, design and/or select components which are commonly used in the design of complete mechanical systems. Students will also complete and present (written and oral) a detailed design/analysis project. 2008-2009 Catalog Description: The design of machines and machine elements, and cost considerations. The course focuses on power transmission in machines including gears, belts, pulleys, bearings, lubrication, clutches, brakes, chains, power screws, and gear trains. Stress calculations and material selection are discussed. Broad design issues such as safety, ethics, patents, product liability, time value of money, return on investment, and breakeven analysis are covered. Students work in design teams on a major design project. The students completing this course will be able to achieve an understanding of these topics: Course Outline (Chapter Topics Covered) Chapter 4 & 5 - Brief Review of Mechanics a) Stresses and Strains b) Deformation Chapter 6 - Failures Resulting from Static Loading a) Failure Theories b) Steady Loading c) Introduction to Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics Chapter 7 - Fatigue Failure Resulting from Variable Loading a) Completely Reversed Loading b) Fluctuating Stresses Chapter 11 - Shafts and Axles Chapter 13 - Rolling-Element Bearings Chapter 12 - Introduction to Lubrication and Journal Bearings Chapter 14 - General Gears and Gearing Chapter 15 - Fasteners and the Design of Nonpermanent and Permanent Joints Chapter 16 - Mechanical Springs Chapter 17 - Brakes and Clutches Chapter 18 - Flexible Mechanical Elements Course Procedures The subject areas will be covered through reading assignments, lectures, films, and demonstrations. Students are required to attend class during the assigned times. If you miss a class, it is your responsibility to get the assignments and have them completed on time. All students are expected to attend the lectures and will be responsible for everything discussed in class. Late assignments will not be accepted. The student must attend every quiz or exam at the scheduled time and date. Absence from any exam without prior approval results in a zero for that exam. DO NOT WRITE ON THE BACK OF SHEETS (Points will be taken off the assignment for this). Make-up exams will not be given. Your textbook should be brought to every class. NOTE: There is no ‘curving’ of final grades! Grading Your course grade will be determined as follows: Examinations and Quiz 50 % Homework/Projects/Attendance/Participation 25 % Final Examination 25 % Total 100 % [90 - 100% = A, 80 - 89% = B 70 - 79% = C 60 - 69% = D Below 60% = F] ADA/504 Compliance Students with disabilities who believe that they may need accommodations in this class are encouraged to contact the ATTIC counselor working with disabilities at (678) 915-7361, Room J-253 as soon as possible to better ensue that such accommodations are implemented in a timely fashion. Accommodations are best implemented at the beginning of the semester. Student Conduct A display of academic dishonesty, as defined in the general catalog, will result in the most severe punishment permissible. This includes, but is not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, and disorderly conduct. Please refer to the Undergraduate Catalog sections “Disruptive Behavior and Academic Dishonesty” and “Student Life Regulations” for further information. Reference Books and Other Sources: 1.

Under no circumstances should an assignment, quiz or exam be turned in with writing on the back of any sheet. If so, there will be a penalty of 10 points assessed against your score for each incident. For example, if you write on the back of 2 sheets of an exam, you will lose 20 points! Disclaimer: To the question which one may ask in the distance future, “Is there anything I can do to improve my grade or pass this class?” I answer today, “Work like you already have an “F”!”. Everyone starts from a grade of zero and works toward a passing grade. In that spirit, paying tuition, attending class, working hard and participating in class are necessary but not sufficient conditions to ensure a passing grade for the course. One will only pass this course by demonstrating a fundamental understanding of Machine Elements and such understanding must manifest itself on homework, quizzes, projects and tests! To the best of my ability, I will present you with the tools necessary to demonstrate such breadth and depth of knowledge of the subject matter. I AM HERE TO
