Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering (MAE)
MAE 4733 Mechatronics Design Prerequisites: A grade of "C" or higher in MAE 3113 and MAE 3403; admission to MAE professional school. Description: Design of mechanical and electrical components, including sensors and actuators into an integrated environment using microcontrollers. Software design using an easy-to-program microcontroller embodies the importance of software implementation into the overall engineering system. Design practice with given design projects to build up skills plus an open-ended term design project of the student's choosing. Credit hours: 3 Contact hours: Lecture: 3 Levels: Graduate, Undergraduate Schedule types: Lecture Department/School: Mech & Aerospace Engr MAE 5000 Master's Thesis Prerequisites: Graduate standing in MAE and consent of student's adviser. Description: A student studying for a master's degree who elects to write a thesis must enroll in this course. Offered for variable credit, 1-9 credit hours, maximum of 9 credit hours. Credit hours: 1-9 Contact hours: Other: 1 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Independent Study Department/School: Mech & Aerospace Engr
MAE 5013 Physiological System Analysis for Engineers Prerequisites: Graduate standing or consent of instructor.
Description: Introduce the basic physiology concepts used widely in biomedical engineering research; and introduce and develop engineering concepts and approaches for quantitative analysis of physiological systems. Engineering principles of mechanical properties of various tissue and organ systems under normal and diseased conditions. Same course as CHE 5273. Credit hours: 3 Contact hours: Lecture: 3 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Lecture Department/School: Mech & Aerospace Engr MAE 5023 Advanced Biofluid Mechanics Prerequisites: Graduate standing or 3233 (or equivalent). Description: From sub-cellular to the organ level, life is supported by mass transfer processes, which encompass everything from free diffusion to the convection of bulk fluids. Therefore, to understand the body's functions, it is necessary to apply the fundamental fluid mechanics and heat transfer laws to physiological systems. Special emphasis will be placed on different length scales in physiological system, biorheology, conservation laws, mechanical coupling to vessel deformation and relevant physiology. Credit hours: 3 Contact hours: Lecture: 3 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Lecture Department/School: Mech & Aerospace Engr MAE 5030 Engineering Practice Prerequisites: Graduate standing in MAE and consent of student's adviser. Description: Solution of real-life engineering design and development problems in an actual or simulated industrial environment. Activities include application of design and testing procedures, economic evaluation and periodic oral and written reporting on one or more assigned problems. Activities must be approved in advance by the adviser. Offered for variable credit, 1-12 credit hours, maximum of 12 credit hours. Credit hours: 1-12 Contact hours: Other: 1 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Independent Study
MAE 5003 Advanced Biomaterials Science and Engineering Prerequisites: Graduate standing or consent of instructor.
Description: Engineering issue that are implicit in understanding the interactions of living tissue and processed materials will be introduced. Emphasis is on identifying the processes in which cells interact with surfaces and particulate matter and the outcome of these interactions. Highlighted biological responses will include inflammation and coagulation. Also, biomaterial issues related to drug delivery and tissue engineering will be discussed. Same course as CHE 5263. Credit hours: 3 Contact hours: Lecture: 3 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Lecture Department/School: Mech & Aerospace Engr MAE 5010 Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Projects Description: Project in research assigned by the student's adviser.
