Currently Teaching

MECE-203
Strength of Materials I
3 Credits
A basic course in the fundamental principles of the mechanics of deformable media, including stress, strain, deflections and the relationships among them. The basic loadings of tension, compression, shear, torsion and bending are also included.
MECE-523
Powertrain Systems And Design
3 Credits
This course will introduce the analysis and design of power transmission systems. Topics covered include power transmission shafts: spur, helical, bevel, and worm gears drives; planetary gear systems; belt and chain drives. Students will use this foundation to complete a design project for a powertrain system that will contain detailed calculations of its different components.
