MECH 2425 - Mechanics and Machine Elements

4 sem hrs cr

(3 hours lecture-2 hours lab)

This course is a study of the mechanical components that are included in a complex mechatronic system. Topics covered will include an overview of Statics and Kinetics with a focus on force system analysis, study of equilibrium, frames and machines, friction and the effects of forces on the motion of objects. Fundamentals and classification of machine elements to include calculations involving force, stress and wear analysis will also be covered. Prerequisite: MECH 1320  and MATH 1710  or MATH 1720  or MATH 1730  or MATH 1910  

In rare and unusual circumstances, a course prerequisite can be overridden with the permission of the Curriculum lead for the discipline.
