Course Descriptions

The mechanical engineering curriculum is designed to prepare students for productive careers in industry, government, education and private consulting as well as for graduate study. Thus, it is based on the fundamental principles of science and engineering. These provide a strong foundation that enables students to apply what they have learned to the complex technological problems of today and to teach themselves the new technologies of tomorrow.

ME 505 - Modeling & Simulation of Dynamic Systems

Credit Hours: 4R-0L-4C
Term Available: -
Prerequisites: ES 205 - Analysis & Design of Engineering Systems, and MA 212 - Matrix Algebra & Systems of Differential Equations
Corequisites: None

Modeling and simulation of engineering components and systems. Emphasis on a unified work-energy approach to modeling physical systems, model formulation using a differential-algebraic form of Lagrange's equation, and the numerical solution of the resulting initial-value problem. Applications are explored using modeling and simulation projects.
