Text: Shigley’s Mechanical Engineering Design, 9th
ed., by Budynas & Nisbett, ISBN: 9780073529288
Course Description: Applied stress analysis and
material strength theories for sizing and selecting
materials of machine elements, failure and
reliability. Selection of fasteners, bearings, gears,
springs.
Credit Hours: 3
Prerequisite: MAE 2104 (Eng. Mech. II)
Co requisite: MAE 3201 (Strength of Materials)
Attendance: Attendance will not be monitored. It is each student’s responsibility to cover any material
due to missed lectures. Call the Snow Line (255-3346) for school closures. Arrangements should be
made in advance for absence due to religious or spiritual observances.
Homework: There will be a short homework assignment at the end of each lesson that will re-enforce
the lesson material. This homework will generally be due the next class meeting unless otherwise
instructed. In calculating your homework total, I will discard the lowest grade.
Format for Homework: Homework must be worked on real engineering paper, one side only, multiple
sheets stapled together, unfolded. Neatly print your name at the top of the first page. Answers must
be clearly indicated. Many problems in this class will require one or more drawings. Make these
neat, approximately to scale, including angles, and use a straightedge for every line, including forces
and dimensions. Engineering paper is required because it assists you in preparing neat work.
Equations and calculations should follow the lines on the paper. Use three significant figures for all
results, other than integer values.
Exams: There will be three tests. Exams are closed book, but calculators and a cue sheet will be
allowed.

accommodation within the first two weeks of class. Special
accommodations for tests are required a week prior to the scheduled exam date.
Calculators:
Calculators and computers are a part of the modern engineer’s tool set. They provide an alternate
means to check your answers and to reduce computation errors, but are no substitution for
engineering common sense. If you can program and apply calculators to assist you in your problem
solving, you are increasing your skill set. Calculators will be allowed during exams; However,
enough intermediate steps must be shown (equations, value substitutions) to convince me that you
understand how to solve the problem. A calculator with the ability to manipulate matrices is
recommended.
