ME365 Measurement Systems, Spring 2012
This course covers modeling and instrumentation of physical systems. The student should leave the course with a better appreciation of the behavior of dynamic systems and a good grasp of measurement fundamentals applicable to a wide range of engineering problems.
ME576 Computer Control of Manufacturing Processes, Spring 2011
Automation and control of manufacturing processes have been vigorously pursued in modern manufacturing to scope with the demand of increased productivity and quality. This trend toward computerization and integration leads to a demand for appropriately trained engineers. The purpose of this course is to introduce essential knowledge in the control of manufacturing systems and processes.
ME363 Principles and Practice of Manufacturing Processes, Fall 05,07,08
This course covers basics in the areas of metrology, machining, CNC, micro fabrication and rapid prototyping. The lab exercises provide the students with opportunities to gain hands on experiences and experimentation in these important areas.
