Statement of Faculty Senate Action:

 

APC Document 33:                               Change the descriptions for MAE 310 and MAE 316

Change the pre- and corequisites for MAE 315

 

Effective Date: Fall 2009

 

1.  Delete:         On page 137, the entry for MAE 310:

 

                  310       Heat Transfer Fundamentals (3)

Analysis of steady state and transient one-dimensional and multidimensional heat transfer by conduction, employing both analytical methods and numerical techniques. Heat transfer by the mechanism of radiation. Prerequisites: grade of C- or better in MAE 301; grade of C- or better in ECE 220 or MATH 394. Fall.

 

      Add:           On page, 137, in place of deleted entry:

 

                  310       Heat Transfer Fundamentals (3)

Analysis of steady state and transient one and multidimensional heat conduction employing both analytical methods and numerical techniques. Integration of principles and concepts of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics to the development of practical convective heat transfer relations relevant to mechanical engineers. Heat transfer by the mechanism of radiation heat transfer. Prerequisites: grade of C- or better in ECE 109 and MAE 301; grade of C- or better in ECE 220 or MATH 394.  Fall.

Impact:

There will be no impact on the resources and staffing of the Engineering program at UNCA due to this change. This course is presented via distance education from NCSU. The content of this course remains largely unchanged, but the course description is being updated to better represent its content. The prerequisites and corequisites for this course are being updated to reflect current course sequencing.

 

Rationale:

The above mentioned course is part of the Engineering curriculum at NCSU. The description change is requested to match a change being made to the NCSU catalog. Making this change to the UNCA catalog will maintain consistency between the catalog listings for courses included in the JEM program.

 

 

 

2.  Delete:         On page 137, the entry for MAE 316:

 

316       Strength of Mechanical Components (3)

Analysis and design of mechanical components based on deflection, material, static vessels and bolted and welded joints. Classical and modern analysis and design techniques. Computer analysis using the finite element method. Material and manufacturing considerations in design. Prerequisite: grade of C- or better in MAE 314. Corequisite: ECE 220 or MATH 394. Spring.

 

 

     Add:            On page, 137, in place of deleted entry:

 

                  316       Strength of Mechanical Components (3)

Analysis and design of mechanical components based on deflection, material, static strength and fatigue requirements. Typical components include beams, shafts, pressure vessels and bolted and welded joints. Classical and modern analysis and design techniques. Computer analysis using the finite element method. Material and manufacturing considerations in design. Prerequisites: grade of C- or better in ECE 109 and MAE 314. Pre- or corequisite:  ECE 220 or MATH 394. Spring.

Prerequisite: grade of C- or better in MAE 208. Corequisite: ECE 220 or MATH 394.

 

      Add:           On page, 137, in place of deleted entry:

 

Prerequisite: Grade of C- or better in ECE 109, ECE 220 and MAE 208.
