Course Description and Outcomes

This course follows Machine Design I (ME 442) and covers the methods and procedures to
design mechanical components and elements. The course includes topics in the design and
procedures and standards of selecting, springs, roller and journal bearings, gears, brakes, belts
and flexible elements. Following are the expected student outcomes for this course (skills that
the students should possess at the completion of the course), and the affected program outcomes:

1. Students must be able to design, analyze and select mechanical springs subjected
to static and cyclic loading.(c,k)
2. be able to select appropriate ball or cylindrical bearings for a specific application.
(c,k)
3. Students must be familiar with journal bearing and be able to analyze and design
such bearings for a specific application.(c,k)
4. Students must be familiar with spur, helical, bevel and worm gears, and be able to
design or select appropriate gears for a specific application.(c,k)
5. Students must be familiar with various AGMA parameters in design of different gear
types.(c,k)
6. Students must be able to design and analyze clutches and brakes.(c,k)
7. Students must be familiar with belts, chains and flexible elements, and be able to
select appropriate belts, chains, ropes for specific applications.(c,k)
8. Students must be able to apply concepts learned in the course to the design of a
mechanical system.( c)
9. Students must be able to use external resources (e.g., internet, vendor catalogs, etc.)
to assist in the selection of machine components when designing a mechanical
system.( i)

10. Students must understand their professional and ethical responsibilities in the
design of a mechanical system. (f)

Grading
Homework:
10%
Group Design Project:
10%
2 or 3 Midterm Exams: 60%
Final Exam:
20%
2 or 3 quizzes = 1 exam
Homework is assigned and collected on a chapter basis. Homework problems should be
submitted in a neat, legible format at the beginning of class on the specified due date. Late
homework not accepted without special permission.
Attendance is mandatory.
Design Project
All students are required to complete a group design project, which will involve the planning,
design, and analysis of a mechanical system with an emphasis on techniques discussed in this
course. Groups will consist of 3 students. Groups may choose a topic from a list supplied by the
instructor, or propose their own. Specific details will be distributed at a later stage.
Exams
3 or 4 midterm exams and a final exam will be given. All exams are open book, closed notes.
Specific dates for the midterms will be posted on the blackboard.
Responsibility and Special Needs
All work in this course must be completed in a manner consistent with NDSU University Senate
Policy, Section 335: Code of Academic Responsibility and Conduct
(http://www.ndsu.nodak.edu/policy/335.htm).
Students taking CEA courses are required to sign the Honor Pledge at the beginning of each
semester as outlined below. On my honor I will not give nor receive unauthorized assistance in
completing assignments and work submitted for review or assessment. Furthermore, I
understand the requirements in the College of Engineering and Architecture Honor System and
accept the responsibility I have to complete all my work with complete integrity.

The Engineering & Architecture Honor System can be found on the CEA homepage at
http://www.ndsu.edu/cea/CEA%20Honor%20Code%20Final%20Version.pdf.
Attendance: Is required, students should realize that there are materials covered in class which
are not discussed in the textbook. The student is responsible for All material presented in class
whether or not he or she was present in class. If they miss a class, it is the students responsibility
to obtain notes from a classmate. Full credit can be received for work turned in late due to an
excused absence. It is the student's responsibility to contact the instructor in such a case. If the
student is going to miss a test for a good reason, he/she should telephone or e-mail the instructor
BEFORE the test to arrange for a make-up exam.
Disabilities: Any student with disability who needs accommodations is encouraged to speak with
the instructor as soon as possible to make appropriate arrangements for those accommodations.
Any students with disabilities or other special needs, who need special accommodations for this
course, are invited to share those concerns with the instructor as soon as possible.
Veterans and student soldiers with special circumstances or who are activated are encouraged
to notify the instructor in advance.
