9 Mechanical Engineering Overview

10 Mechanical Engineering Is…
Finding creative solutions to problems! Perhaps the broadest of all the engineering disciplines. Working with motion, energy, forces, and thermodynamics. Concerned with analysis, design, manufacture and operation of areas such as: Energy Defense Environment Health & Bio Manufacturing Transportation “Scientists discover the world that exists; engineers create the world that never was.” -Theodore Von Karman SourceL:

11 What are general things ME’s do?
Design Product Design Machine Design System Design Manufacturing, Process Development & Quality Maintenance and Operations Research and Development Project Management Testing Sales or Technical Sales Other Law Management Business Medical Schools

12 What can Mechanical Engineers do?
Some Examples of Design Machines that manufacture and package all varieties of products Rotating equipment - pumps, compressors, blowers, turbomachinery Internal combustion engines Storage tanks, piping systems and pressure vessels - reactors, heat exchangers, boilers Sports equipment, consumer goods and products (everything from golf balls to soda cans to roller coasters) Material handling equipment - conveyers, robots, production lines Vehicles - cars, trucks, heavy equipment, buses, aircraft, ships Electric power generation equipment Oil well drilling and extraction equipment Nearly every man made object that you can see has been worked on by a Mechanical Engineer…

13 What Industries Hire ME’s?
Automotive & OEM Suppliers Construction Equipment Construction Companies Ship & Railroad Companies Airplane Manufacturing Power Generation / Nuclear Alternative Fuel / Energy Utility Companies Oil and Gas Companies Chemical Companies Pharmaceutical & Health Care Biomedical Sports Equipment Mfg.

14 Research in Mechanical Engineering

15 Mechanical Engineering Areas of Research
Acoustics and Dynamics Automation and Mechatronics Bioengineering Computer Aided Design Fluid Mechanics Heat Transfer, Combustion and Energy Systems Manufacturing Mechanics of Materials Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) Tribology

16 Mechanical Engineering Research
ENEMY DETECTION A new sensor that measures the motion created by sound waves under water could allow the U.S. Navy to develop compact arrays to detect the presence of enemy submarines. These compact arrays would detect quiet underwater targets, while providing very clear directional information. The novel underwater sensor uses optical fibers to detect the direction from which a sound is coming under water. This directional component is an important improvement over the current technology.

17 Mechanical Engineering Research
DEVELOPMENT OF A KINEMATIC MODEL FOR A REHABILITATION ROBOT There is currently no way to quantify how much a person with neuromuscular disorders shake. Shaking is the inability to modulate muscle patterns. Objective: Develop a quantifiable test for people with neuromuscular disorders. Patients will wear the robotic jacket and press a joystick in a prescribed way. The jacket's actuators will then be turned off, one by one, to see how the muscle movements change. This will isolate which muscles are most affected by the help of the jacket. Different muscle groups and levels of shakiness vary with each type of ailment. Ultimately the goal is to diagnose different neuromuscular ailments with this testing.

24 The International Plan (IP) Program
What is the International Plan? A challenging program that works in tandem with your undergraduate program to produce globally competent citizens Degree designator International Plan Requirements: Second language proficiency (determined by testing, not classes) International Coursework: Four required courses including a design course relating the international studies to your major International Experience: 26 weeks abroad engaged in any combination of study abroad, research or internship More Information:

25 BS/MS Program Application Requirements:
TOMMY NEWTON BSME 2006, MSME 2008 Application Engineer AccuSentry, Inc. The best part about the BS/MS program is that I was able to take a "test drive" before committing.  By the time I officially became a graduate student, I had performed undergraduate research with my advisor (Dr. Shreyes Melkote) for almost a year- and-a-half.  I was even able to spend a semester working on what would become my master's thesis topic. Taking graduate level classes as an undergraduate allowed me to get a feel for what the course work would be like. Application Requirements: Apply between 30 – 75 credit hours Transfer students with more than credit hours are can apply after 1-2 full time semesters at GT Minimum GT GPA of 3.5 to apply Must maintain 3.0 GPA to be eligible Advantages: Students can take 6 hours of approved classes that count towards both the Bachelor’s (BS) & Master’s (MS) degrees Students are not required to take GRE Students who select the non-thesis MS option can finish in 2-3 semesters beyond BS degree

26 Undergraduate Research
What is Undergraduate Research? Undergraduate research is a single or multiple semester project working with a professor his/her research or special project Research Requirements Students can be paid or receive class credit towards the BSME Students are responsible for finding faculty members to sponsor the research Most research opportunities exist for juniors & seniors 190 ME undergraduate research assignments were completed last year (Summer 2009, Fall 2009 and Spring 2010)

27 Co-operative & Internship Programs
Co-op Program Application Requirements Complete 1 full-time GT and apply to the program What GPA is required? 2.0 GPA How many semesters must I work? One Semester (students can do more, but the commitment is only one semester) Three Semesters (students alternate each semester between work & school until completing the three work terms) Which semesters can I work? Fall, Spring, Summer Does the work assignment show on my transcript? Yes Can I work at different companies? No Which students participate? Junior – Senior (generally) Sophomore – Junior Student Participation % 35% in ME Can I work abroad? Yes (Work Abroad) Yes (Int’l Coop Program)

28 Whether selecting co-op or internships, we strongly recommend every student to have work experience before graduation; two semesters are optimal.

Ex. If you have a question about MATH transfer credit, you need to talk to the MATH department. Department contacts information can be found at: ME Transfer Credit (not on Transfer Equivalency Table) Fill out an ME Transfer Credit form. COE 2001 & COE 3001 are handled by Civil Engineering You must resolve your transfer credits BEFORE registration for next semester! Pre-req overrides will not be issued after this semester.

56 Registration

57 Registration Registration This Afternoon Registration Holds
You will receive assistance during the FASET registration session. All time tickets for FASET end tomorrow night at midnight. Add as many classes as possible today.  Registration Holds Some new students have holds placed by Health Services, the Registrar’s or Undergraduate Admissions for incomplete information. All holds must be cleared before you are allowed to register. Only the department that placed the hold can remove the hold. FASET Registration (also called Phase 2 Registration) All students will have a second opportunity to register for classes in August. Phase 2 Registration: August 13 – August 26

58 Suggestions We recommend 12-14 hours during the fall semester.
Be careful with any combination of ME 1770, ME 2110, CS 1371 and ME All of these classes are VERY time consuming. CS 1371: Computing Techniques (teaches programming in Matlab) ME 2016: Numerical Methods (uses Matlab to solve numerical analysis probs.) ME 1770: Engineering Graphics (2D and 3D CAD) ME 2110: Creative Decisions & Design (VERY time consuming design project) Tuition Reminder: Full time enrollment is 12 credit hours (including summer). Exact tuition and fees: 1-6 Credits = pay for 6 credits plus fees 7+ credits = pay for full time plus fees Always verify your financial aid requirements with your financial aid advisor. Federal education loans require students to be registered for 6 credits. Scholarships generally require students to be registered for 12 credits. HOPE rules completely change as of fall semester. HOPE does not require full time enrollment, but is based on enrolling in 15 hours per semester.

59 HOPE Information In-State Students: All HOPE rules are changing as of fall 2011 semester. Make sure you are familiar with the new HOPE and Zell Miller Scholarship rules.

60 Fall Registration Dates
Phase 2 Registration Time Tickets Available: Aug 12 Registration for Fall: Aug 13 – 26 First Day of Classes: Aug 22 Fees Due without Late Fees: Aug 4:00 PM Fees Due with Late Fees: Aug 4:00 PM

There is important information listed on the curriculum guide that you need to know. Curriculum Guide: ww.me.gatech.edu/undergraduate/degrees_bsme_curr.shtml

64 Transfer Assistance Center (TAC)
This afternoon, all departments will be available to help you register for your classes at TAC. We can only help with ME classes. If you have trouble with other classes, you need to talk to that department, who will also be available at TAC. COE classes are handled by Civil Engineering. If you cannot register for a class, make sure that you fill out your Registration Sheet so we can better help you: Course Number and Section (ex. COE 2001-A) Exact Error Message (ex. Class Restriction Error, Pre-Req & Test Score Error) Your student ID number (ex ) Have your current transcript in case transfer credit does not show up on your Georgia Tech transcript yet.

65 Registration After TAC Today…
Registration instructions are at: Overrides (Permits, Overloads, Pre-Reqs) All override requests must be made through each respective department. Example: ME only handles ME classes. All override requests for ME and COE classes must be made on OSCAR. Instructions are at: Some departments do not use OSCAR. If you try to make a request through OSCAR but cannot find the class, go to: Response time for requests made through OSCAR can be up to 2-3 business days. Please be patient. If you have registration errors, be sure you understand how to fix your problem. More information is at:

66 Final Thoughts… CS 1371, ME 2016, ME 1770 and ME 2110 Other Classes
Be careful with any combination of ME 1770, ME 2110, CS 1371 and ME All of these classes are VERY time consuming. CS 1371: Computing Techniques (teaches programming in Matlab) ME 2016: Numerical Methods (uses Matlab to solve numerical analysis problems) ME 1770: Engineering Graphics (2D and 3D CAD) ME 2110: Creative Decisions & design (extremely time consuming design project) ME 1770 = CEE 1770; these are exactly the same class. If you have above 60 credit hours you need a permit to register for ME/CEE 1770. CS 1171 should be taken pass/fail. Other Classes MSE 2001: MSE does not give overloads for MSE 2001. MATH 3770 = ISYE 3770; these are the same class. Transfer Assistance Center (TAC) Fill out the TAC sheet so we can quickly fix your problems today. Transfer Credit – GET THIS RESOLVED BY OCTOBER!
