MEMS 1030 - MATERIAL SELECTION


Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Methodology for materials selection in mechanical design processes. Includes: (i) design process and consideration, (ii) criteria for materials and their shape selection, and (iii) design case study. Mechanical components have mass; they carry loads; they conduct heat and electricity; they are exposed to wear and to corrosive environments; they are made of one or more materials; they have shape; and they must be manufactured. This course provides knowledge on how these activities are related.
Academic Career: Undergraduate
Course Component: Lecture
Grade Component: Letter Grade
Course Requirements: PREQ: (ENGR 0022 or MEMS 0023 or MET 1162) and (ME 1028 or MEMS 1028); PROG: School of Engineering
