    ME493 Special Topics in Materials and Manufacturing:


    Materials Selection in Mechanical Design, Spring 2015 (142)

    Catalogue Description: (3-0-3)


    Principles of mechanical design and a novel approach of presenting materials properties to select materials
    and processes for optimum engineering performance. Product shape, multiple constraints, and conflicting
    objectives are considered to improve the design objectives. Designing hybrid materials for specific properties
    and the impact of materials selection on the environment are addressed. The course is supplemented with
    extensive case studies.
    Status in Curriculum: Design Elective (offered every year)
    Prerequisites: ME 216, ME307, and ME322 or equivalents
    Prerequisites by Topics:
    – Mechanical Properties of Materials (ME216)
    – Manufacturing Processes (ME322)
