This course is intended to reinforce the concepts learned in ME 380 and to extend the significant design experience obtained. Students work individually or in small groups applying the principles of engineering design and problem-solving to a design project of their own choosing. All Mechanical Engineering professors are normally expected to participate in supervising the ME 481 projects, and each student (or group) is supervised by a faculty member assigned to serve as a faculty resource and to provide guidance. Projects are selected, approved, monitored and marked by a course coordinator, in consultation with each faculty supervisor. [Offered: F, S] Prereq: ME 380; Level at least 4A Mechanical Engineering students only. Antireq: MTE 481
