Courses Taught in Spring 2013
ME 15 - Empower MAE Students
Empower MAE students to stay on course towards achieving career goals as engineers.
Provide tools and opportunities to guide students towards career development, community
and service involvement, technology and entrepreneurship. Expose these students to
career opportunities through technical seminars, outreach technical and community
related projects, and tours.
ME 145 - Electronic Packaging and Design
This course provides an introduction to the fundamental principles of electronic packaging,
materials, thermal management, shock and vibrations, EMI/RFI/ESD, fatique, reliability,
and standardized test procedures. Simple design to insure product rules and guidelines
are presented.
ME 147 - Dynamic Systems Vibration and Control
Mathematical representation of dynamic systems. Damped and undamped free and forced
vibrations for single and multiple degree of freedom systems. Vibration control and
isolation. Dynamic analysis of control systems. Transient response, frequency response
and the stability criteria. State-variables approach. Feedback and feedforward compensation.
Emphasis on engineering problems involving analysis and design. Prerequisite: ME 130.
ME 295 A/B, ME 299 (SJSU)
Advanced individual work in Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, including but not
limited to research, design, development, and simulation studies. Write a detailed
engineering report and make a comprehensive presentation. (Prereq: Admission to Candidacy
for Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering; written proposal approved by Instructor
and Graduate Advisor).
