| MAE208: |
Engineering Dynamics Kinematics and kinetics of particles in rectangular, cylindrical, and curvilinear coordinate systems; energy and momentum methods for particles; kinetics of systems of particles; kinematics and kinetics of rigid bodies in two and three dimensions; motion relative to rotating coordinate systems. |
| MAE315: |
Dynamics of Machines Application of dynamics to the analysis and design of machine and mechanical components. Motions resulting from applied loads, and the forces required to produce specified motions. Introduction to mechanical vibration, free and forced response of discrete and continuous systems. |

Modern Manufacturing Processes This course will cover traditional and non-traditional manufacturing processes of metallic and plastic products. To relate theory taught in class with practice, hands-on manufacturing projects will be carried out. The projects will involve products fabricated from multiple manufacturing processes such as casting, machining, rapid prototyping, and assembly. |
