Undergraduate MEMS 1030

Material Selection in Mechanical Design

(3 units)

Description: Methodology for materials selection in mechanical design processes.  Includes: (i) design process and consideration, (ii) criteria for materials and their shape selection, and (iii) design case study.  Mechanical components have mass; they carry loads; they conduct heat and electricity; they are exposed to wear and to corrosive environments; they are made of one or more materials; they have shape; and they must be manufactured. This course provides knowledge on how these activities are related.

Prerequisites: ENGR 0022 and MEMS 1028.
