Objective:
Learn to develop and apply concepts from mechanical engineering to the design of
machine elements.
Reading:
Reading assignments should be reviewed before class and read in detail when
completing homework
Homework:
Homework solutions are due the date shown. Late homework solutions will not be
accepted unless a valid reason is given at least 24 hours before they are due. Group
work on homework is encouraged. Work turned in must be independently completed.
Work will be graded for completeness, not “correctness”.
Project:
Topic is the development of a design method for the supporting box beam in a wing.
Description is on the internet at http://www.engr.uconn.edu/~cassenti/. Final report
should be written in a professional manner, including: abstract, introduction, sections
on details, conclusions, references and appendices if necessary. . The project report must
