Term Project

The final project is designed as an exercise that allows the material learned in this class to be applied to a real world problem. The instructor will propose a limited number of projects to choose from. All projects will need to include the following: All projects need to include the following:
• list of functional requirements.
• error budget.
• proof of design optimization (finite element analysis, analytical approaches, etc.).
• bill of materials.
• complete solid model (assembly).
• engineering drawings.
A list of potential projects will be made available to those that do not have a suitable design problem.

Midterms There will be two midterms. The material covered in all exams is cumulative,
i.e. all exams will cover all material from the beginning of the semester up until the exam.
Grading

30% - 1. and 2. Midterm
