Title

Basic Fluid Systems

Learning Outcome

3. Students should have a knowledge of fundamental systems concepts required to develop lumped element models for basic fluid systems, including inertance, capacitance, resistance, and pumps.

Title

Electrical Systems

Learning Outcome

2. Students should have a knowledge of fundamental systems concepts required to develop lumped element models for basic electrical systems, including inductance, capacitance, resistance, power sources and amplifiers.

Title

Multi-domain Modeling

Learning Outcome

4. Students should have a knowledge of fundamental concepts of multi-domain modeling of electromechanical and fluid/mechanical systems and be able to develop lumped element models of these mixed systems.

Title

Mechanical Systems

Learning Outcome

1. Students should have a knowledge of fundamental systems concepts required to develop lumped element models for basic mechanical systems, including inertia, compliance, dissipation, and power sources, and obtain equations of motion for linear motion and fixed-axis rotation.

Title

Simulation Software

Learning Outcome

5. Students should know how to place equations of motion into state variable form, and to develop a simulation for basic non-linear and linear systems using MATLAB or some other simulation software.

Title

Transfer Functions and Poles

Learning Outcome

6. Students should know how to manipulate a system of linear differential equations to obtain transfer functions and poles (eigenvalues).

Title

Interpret Poles

Learning Outcome

7. Students should understand first and second-order systems and know how to interpret poles (eigenvalues) to define natural frequencies, damping ratios, time constants, and the natural response, step response, and impulse response of a system.

Title

Frequency Response

Learning Outcome

8. Students should understand the concept of frequency response. They should understand the relationship between transfer functions and frequency response, and should be able to obtain frequency response plots for their system models using MATLAB.

Title

Real World Application

Learning Outcome

9. Students should use the BYU ME method to 1) transform a real-world dynamic system into an engineering problem and 2) develop and analyze a lumped-element model to solve the engineering problem.

Title

Writing

Learning Outcome

10. Students should write an effective methods section for a technical report in the IMRaD format and use figures to clearly communicate results.
