MEC 3060 - Design of Machine Components

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course applies mechanics of materials concepts to the design of machine components. Static and fatigue failure theories are used to select a variety of machine components, including shafts, bearings, gears, threaded fasteners, and springs. (prereq: MEC 2030 ) (quarter system prereq: ME 3005)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  • Apply static failure theory to the selection of machine components
  • Apply fatigue failure theory to the selection of machine components
  • Synthesize a design solution to an open-ended problem by selecting and combining multiple machine components
