This course teaches students on how to design functional mechanical components and systems using engineering knowledge, communication skills, and design principles they learned from the Mathematics, Physics, Communication and library art courses, Engineering Statics, Strength of Materials, Materials Sciences, Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software packages. Students are required to complete a multidisciplinary hands-on design project utilizing concurrent engineering approach incorporating mechanical and electronic and software design into their design work.
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
In this course, we will study literature across genres, eras, and locales. We will examine broad themes such as family and home, the individual and society, good and evil, and the conflicts surrounding globalization. Specifically, we will examine the fascinating and yet confusing concept of globalization, especially its relation to literature. The central questions that we will ask in this class are: what does globalization feel like?, and, what does it feel like to be transnational? The novels, short stories, non-fiction essays, and poems that we will read will help us answer this question, for literature is very good at revealing and performing feelings.
