This seminar course focus on Mechanical Engineering topics they don't typically have a chance to teach, including an emerging research area or an outside interest. Experts from the fields of mechanical design and emergent technologies, including speculative futures and speculative design, contribute to the program as guest lecturers. The course may include field trips, and career development workshops. Each seminar section will include an active learning element such as group projects, class discussions, writing reports, and presentation. The specific course topic associated with academic study, chosen by the course instructor, will vary by section and semester and will be indicated at the beginning of the course.

Prerequisites: None

Students learn how to choose a topic, establish a project, focus and conduct a literature review of the engineering design problem including the problem definition and the existing challenges, and then propose a solution, utilizing recent scientific research papers and well-established books. They prepare for/or preliminary conducting the experiments. Students collect the field data and develop the mathematical/computer model if applicable. They write the first two chapters along with any preliminary findings.

Prerequisites: None
