AE 232 — MECHANICAL DESIGN I CREDITS:
This course introduces students to fundamental principles of mechanical design, focusing on the interaction and assembly of mechanical systems. Students will explore key elements such as fasteners, springs, power transmission components (including chain, belt, and gear drives), bearings, and linkage systems. The course emphasizes the application of engineering principles to design functional mechanical systems, considering material properties, manufacturing methods, and design constraints. Through hands-on projects and CAD modeling, students will develop skills to design mechanical components and assemblies. PREREQUISITE: AE 139 and PRE or COREQUISITE AE 142.
Prerequisites: AE 139
