MEC E 460 - Design Project I

3 units (fi 8)(FIRST, 2-1S-4)

Part 1 of the Capstone Design Project. Working in teams, students will undertake a feasibility study and detailed design of a project which requires students to exercise creative ability, to make assumptions and decisions based on synthesis of technical knowledge, and in general, devise new designs, rather than analyse existing ones, and test prototypes for performance and durability. Prerequisite: MEC E 360, Corequisite: ENG M 401.

MEC E 467 - Modelling and Simulation of Engineering Systems

3 units (fi 8)(EITH/SP/SU, 3-0-3)

Modeling and analysis of systems and processes that include technological decision making. Formulation and solution methods for systems including associated resource requirements and other system inputs. Numerical methods for simulation. Projects will involve simulation software to support analysis and design of engineering systems and processes. Prerequisites: MEC E 250 and 390. Note that credit cannot be obtained in both MEC E 467 and ENG M 541.
