ALHOSN University Catalogue Global Knowledge with Local Vision ...

Prerequisite: MEC 215
This course covers transient processes; second law analysis; irreversibility and availability; cycles: Rankine,
Brayton and air standard cycles; gas and vapor mixtures; psychometrics and applications to air conditioning,
thermodynamic functions, chemical reactions and applications to combustion processes.
MEC 325 Engineering Management and Marketing (3 = 3 + 0)
Co-requisite: FAS 120
The study of the theories and practices of management begins with an understanding of the environment in which
they operate. This includes the task of the worker, the typical industrial organization, the formation and operation
of a trade union. The latest management theories and applications will be examined. The Japanese industrial
organization and the new role of Management will be studied. In a very concise manner students will also be
introduced to the fundamental concepts and issues underlying marketing today: nature and functions of marketing,
marketing tools, marketing management processes, relationship between marketing and society.
MEC 401 Capstone Design Project I (2 = 0 + 2)
Prerequisite: MEC 323
The capstone course collects various components of the curriculum in a comprehensive engineering experience so
that the basic sciences, mathematics, and engineering sciences which the student has learned in his freshman-tosenior
years of study can be integrated and applied. It considers design of a complete project or (part of) system
including establishment of objectives and criteria, formulation of the problem statements, preparation of
specifications, consideration of alternative solutions, feasibility considerations, and detailed engineering designs.
The design should take into consideration appropriate constraints such as economic factors, safety, reliability,
ethics and, environmental and social impact. Submission of a final report and oral presentation before an
examination committee are requisites for the completion of the course.
MEC 402 Capstone Design Project II (4 = 0 + 4)
Prerequisite: MEC 401
This is the continuation of the Capstone Design Project 1. The capstone course collects various components of the
curriculum in a comprehensive engineering experience so that the basic sciences, mathematics, and engineering
sciences which the student has learned in his freshman-to-senior years of study can be integrated and applied. It
considers design of a complete project or (part of) system including establishment of objectives and criteria,
formulation of the problem statements, preparation of specifications, consideration of alternative solutions,
feasibility considerations, and detailed engineering designs. The design should take into consideration appropriate
constraints such as economic factors, safety, reliability, ethics and, environmental and social impact.
Submission of a final report and oral presentation before an examination committee are requisites for the
completion of the course.
MEC 406 Atomic and Nuclear Physics (3 = 3 + 0)
Prerequisite: MEC 313
This course constitutes an optional course in Mechanical engineering department. The aim of this course is to
understand the basic ground-state properties, energetics and macroscopic features of atomic nuclei; to study the
basic constituents of matter and the interactions between them; to provide a basic knowledge of the physics of
atomic nuclei, models of the structure of the nucleus and basic mechanisms of radioactive decay and nuclear
reactions.
MEC 412 Kinematics and Dynamics of Mechanisms (3 = 3 + 0)
Prerequisite: MEC 322
An introduction to the synthesis and analysis of linkages, cams and gear trains is presented. The design
process is introduced and used to solve unstructured design problems in linkage and cam design. Algebraic and
graphical techniques to analyze the displacement, velocity and acceleration of linkages and cams are developed.
Computer programs for the design and analysis of linkages are used by students. Results of student design projects
are presented in professional engineering reports.
MEC 413 Heat and Mass Transfer (3 = 2 + 1)
Prerequisites: FES 207, MEC 215, MEC 323
This course explains the basic modes of heat transfer and their equations and introduces mass transfer. Topics
covered include conduction heat transfer, convection heat transfer and practical analysis, natural and forced
convection, internal flow, external flow, flow in enclosed spaces, radiation heat transfer; mass transfer.
