Catalog Description
Prerequisites: EML3012C, EML3017C
This is the second course in a sequence of two courses intended to provide the essential tools for the design and analysis of mechanical systems. Emphasis is on materials; stress analysis; shaft design; bearings and lubrication; fasteners and connectors; joints; clutches; brakes; couplings and flywheels; flexible elements; shafts; computer simulations and models of components and systems; team class projects involving dissection of existing machines and design and manufacture of new mechanical systems.

Course Goals
The objective of this course is to produce a student capable of designing and manufacturing simple and complex mechanical components and systems. The student should be able to synthesize a reasonable solution to a given design problem, analyze the proposed solution, judge its suitability, and produce engineering drawings.
At the end of the course you should be able to
- design and analyze simple machine components (gears, shafts, bearings, etc.)
- determine when a component will fail statically given loading conditions
- determine when a component will fail under dynamic conditions given loading and life requirements
- generate computer models of systems of machine components
- generate engineering drawings of components for manufacture
Course Objectives
- To explain and demonstrate the failure analysis of various materials under static and dynamic loading conditions
- To introduce standards and formulae for the analysis and design of various mechanical components (gears, bearings, shafts, fasteners, etc.)
- To introduce techniques to assemble components into simple mechanical systems
- To introduce computer software for the analysis and design of components and systems
- To provide tools and examples for the design of various mechanical systems
- To provide opportunities to use available resources to collect, interpret and present appropriate information for use in the design of mechanical systems
Course Outcomes (Numbers shown in brackets are links to course objectives)
- Determine when a component will fail statically given loading [1]
- Determine when a component will fail under dynamic conditions given loading and life requirements [1]
- Design and analyze simple gear trains to transmit power and motion [2, 3, 4]
- Design and analyze simple shafts for given loading conditions and other design requirements [2, 3,4 ]
- Calculate deflection and slope for loaded shafts [2, 4]
- Select suitable bearings for a particular application [2, 3, 4]
- Generate computer models of components and systems of machine components [2, 3, 4, 5]
- Generate engineering drawings of components and systems for manufacture [3, 4, 5]
- Present and use the results of research into a design topic not covered in class [6]

Notes
Homework and examinations, unless otherwise authorized, are to be done individually. Any blatant copying will result in a 0 for the assignment for all parties concerned. A repeat offense may result in a failing grade for the course.
Any late work will not be accepted without prior authorization. Note that for computer assignments do not plan to do them at the last minute. More than likely, the computers will be down, or they will all be tied up, or the software won’t work, or your disk will die or there will be power failure, etc.
Attendance Policy
Excused Absences: Excused absences include documented illness, deaths in the immediate family and other documented crises, call to active military duty or jury duty, religious holy days, and official University activities. Accommodations for these excused absences will be made and will do so in a way that does not penalize students who have a valid excuse. Consideration will also be given to students whose dependent children experience serious illness.
Please note that the College of Engineering has a restrictive interpretation of what is considered a valid excuse for an absence. See: http://www.eng.fsu.edu/current/undergraduate/guide.html. If an absence is to be excused, make sure you check beforehand. In case of excused absence, the instructor will work with you to help you make up for missed time and catch up.
Unexcused Absences: A student having more than four unexcused absences will be dropped from the course and assigned the grade F. No exceptions. Tests and exams missed because of unexcused absence receive the grade 0. No exceptions.
Other projects and activities missed completely receive the grade 0 for those projects or activities. No exceptions.
Departmental Learning Outcomes
College of Engineering Undergraduate Policy:
As current policy, the College does not use plus +, or minus – grades in engineering courses (see the 2012-2013 Student Guide).
A student may continue in the B.S. degree program provided the student makes sufficient academic progress and does not have academic sanctions imposed from repeated attempts in one or more engineering courses. See the 2012-2013 Student Guide for more details
Academic Honor Code
Students are expected to uphold the Student Code of Conduct, Academic Honor Code published in their University Bulletin and/or Student Handbook.
Florida A&M Student Code of Conduct published in the Student Handbook, The FANG, http://www.famu.edu/StudentLife/STUDENT%20HANDBOOK%20%28FANG%29%202012-2014.pdf, see Student Code of Conduct - Regulation 2.012, Academic Honesty Violations: p.69
The Florida State University Academic Honor Policy outlines the University’s expectations for the integrity of students’ academic work, the procedures for resolving alleged violations of those expectations, and the rights and responsibilities of students and faculty members throughout the process. Students are responsible for reading the Academic Honor Policy and for living up to their pledge to “. . . be honest and truthful and . . . [to] strive for personal and institutional integrity at Florida State University.” (Florida State University Academic Honor Policy, found at http://fda.fsu.edu/Academics/Academic-Honor-Policy.)
Americans with Disabilities Act
Students with disabilities needing academic accommodation should:
- register with and provide documentation to the LDEC or SDRC; and
- bring a letter to the instructor indicating the need for accommodation and what type.
This should be done during the first week of class.
