ME 4702 - Mechanical Engineering Capstone Design II
Continuation of ME 4701 and must be taken in the semester following the successful completion of ME 4701. Completes the two-course sequence that provides a comprehensive, capstone, senior design experience for mechanical engineering majors. Course includes studies in the analytical techniques of design, as well as the design, construction, and evaluation of the performance of an actual engineering system.
Requisites: ME 3510, 3700, 4701 and Sr only
Credit Hours: 4
OHIO BRICKS: Bridge: Learning and Doing, Capstone: Capstone or Culminating Experience

Grades: Eligible Grades: A-F,WP,WF,WN,FN,AU,I
Learning Outcomes:
- Students will be able to apply project management tools for planning, prioritizing, and scheduling tasks in a design project.
- Students will be able to evaluate and use mock up and prototype test results for design improvement and validation.
- Students will be able to apply failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) to organize and prioritize analysis and testing and to improve the safety and reliability of a design.
- Students will be able to apply useful tools for design refinement such as value engineering and design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA).
- Students will be able to work with vendors / part suppliers to select and purchase components to satisfy specific functional requirements.
- Students will be able to promote safety and health in all aspects of an engineering project, including safety during manufacturing and assembly, and product safety through Design For Safety or similar approaches.
- Students will be able to evaluate the influence of engineering standards and constraints in engineering design, such as: manufacturability, sustainability, health and safety, environmental, ethical, social, political, and economic.
- Students will be able to connect experience to knowledge, make connect across disciplines, apply knowledge/skills to new situations, communicate learning, and self-reflect on learning.
