This minor is for students not majoring in manufacturing engineering or mechanical engineering. The minor provides fundamentals of mechanical engineering. This includes a variety of industrial applications involving product design, experimental analysis and engineering-modeling techniques. It combines a strong base in engineering science with project-based laboratory and design experience. This minor includes a liberal education thematic sequence.

Eighteen semester hours beyond the prerequisite to engineering science are required. None of these courses may be taken on a credit/no-credit basis.

Prerequisites: EAS 101, EAS 102, MTH 251, PHY 181

MME 213 Computational Methods in Engineering [3] [MPT]:

Study and use of fundamental computational methods as applied to engineering analysis and design. Computational methods are explored via discussion of errors and approximations, iterative methods of solving equations. Graphical methods are explored via 3-D modeling with emphasis on assembly and design including limit dimensioning and geometric tolerance. Prerequisite: EAS 101, EAS 102. 2 Lec. 1 Lab.

MME 211 Static Modeling of Mechanical Systems: Statics [3] [MPT]

Introduction to mechanics. Study of the theory and application of the mechanics of rigid bodies in equilibrium. Prerequisites: EAS 101, MTH 151. Co-requisite: EAS 102, PHY 181.

MME 311 Dynamic Modeling of Mechanical Systems [3] [MPT]

Displacement, velocity and acceleration of a particle; relations between forces acting on a rigid body and the changes in motion produced; translation; rotation, plane motion. Solutions using the principles of force, mass, and acceleration; work and energy; and impulse and momentum. Prerequisites: MME 211, 213, MTH 251.

MME 312 Mechanics of Materials [3]

Elastic relationships between external forces acting on deformable bodies and the resulting stresses and deformations. Theory, analysis and applications of these relationships. MME 211.

MME 313 Fluid Mechanics [3]

Fundamentals and application of mechanics of fluid including properties, statics and dynamics of fluids, dimensional analysis and similitude, steady state flow and topics in compressible flow. Prerequisites: EAS 102, MTH 251, PHY 181 and either PCE 219 or MME 211 or permission of the instructor.
