ME 101/L | Introduction to Mechanical Engineering and Lab

Freshman orientation course introducing the Mechanical Engineering Program, the profession and the University. “Tools of the trade”—the Internet, word processing, spreadsheets, power point, computer-aided design, basic lab measurement instruments, commercial component catalogs and numerically controlled machine tools to support prototype fabrication—are introduced in the context of engineering practice. Fundamental engineering analysis/design is explored through simple examples covering all aspects of mechanical engineering.
