ENG 1102 Spring 2008
Engineering Modeling and Design

Welcome to Jim Hertel's sections of ENG1102.

You may notice that many of the linked files cannot be printed. This is due to the fact that this site represents about 1,200 pages of material - - with about 700 students in 1102 this semester, the printing demands would swamp our labs. Most of the information in the lesson slides can be found in the texts or Lab Manual for the course.

Design Project  - SAE Supermileage Vehicle

The Design Project is the "Cornerstone" of  ENG1102.  The modeling and programming skills that you learn throughout the semester will be practiced as your team develops a design concept to solve a real world problem. There will also be individual assignments, but most students find that the design projects are the most challenging and rewarding part of the course. Regardless of your choice of engineering major, the basic design process and deliverables  are typical of what is expected when you are hired to get the job done.

In my sections of 1102, you will be working vehicle concept design to compete in the SAE Supermileage Collegiate Competition. A virtual competition will be run where teams demonstrate their car's performance using their Matlab simulation code running. For a more compete description of the SMV project, goto the (preliminary) Request for Proposal.
