A final course involving individual or group projects
including design, analysis and implementation of
mechanical systems selected from various interesting
areas within mechanical engineering. Students are
required to propose their projects during the first
semester of their senior year. After a project is
completed, students are responsible for submitting their
final report and giving a presentation.
MES 408 Mechanical Project or Extended 6(0-40-0)
Mechanical Engineering Training
(For Extended Mechanical Engineering Training Track)
Students are provided with extensive on-the-job training
at selected modern mechanical engineering facilities.
The purpose of the course is to allow the students
opportunities, to work and intensively conduct an
individual research or practical project for at least 17
weeks under the close supervision of faculty members
and main supervisors assigned by the training company.
After the project is completed, students are responsible
for submitting their final report and giving a
presentation.
