2 cl hrs, 2 lab hrs, 3 cr Ex­tends tech­niques learned in ear­lier in­dus­trial de­sign courses (IND 2313 and IND 2410) and builds upon the­o­ries in­tro­duced in ear­lier an­i­ma­tion courses (such as IND 2420). Foun­da­tion for ad­vanced an­i­ma­tion con­struc­tion, in­cor­po­ra­tion of and in­te­gra­tion with ex­ter­nal media, and tech­niques to au­to­mate and op­ti­mize de­vel­op­ment processes. Dy­namic par­ti­cles, flex­i­ble soft body cre­ation, tex­tur­ing, “hair” par­ti­cles, fluid sim­u­la­tion, rig­ging, light­ing, and plant sim­u­la­tion. Pre­req­ui­sites: MECH 3510

2 cl hrs, 2 lab hrs, 3 cr Extends techniques learned in earlier industrial design courses (IND 2313 and IND 2410) and builds upon theories introduced in earlier animation courses (such as IND 2420). Foundation for advanced animation construction, incorporation of and integration with external media, and techniques to automate and optimize development processes. Dynamic particles, flexible soft body creation, texturing, “hair” particles, fluid simulation, rigging, lighting, and plant simulation. Prerequisites: MECH 3510

En­gi­neer­ing Vi­bra­tion

Engineering Vibration

A basic in­tro­duc­tion to or­di­nary (not par­tial) dif­fer­en­tial equa­tions. While sys­tems are dis­cussed, the focus is on the so­lu­tion and analy­sis of sin­gle equa­tions and the phys­i­cal processes from which they may have orig­i­nated. While many of the most com­mon so­lu­tion tech­niques are cov­ered, in­clud­ing nu­mer­i­cal, the em­pha­sis is on qual­i­ta­tive analy­sis and the use of tech­nol­ogy.

A basic introduction to ordinary (not partial) differential equations. While systems are discussed, the focus is on the solution and analysis of single equations and the physical processes from which they may have originated. While many of the most common solution techniques are covered, including numerical, the emphasis is on qualitative analysis and the use of technology.
