ME 598 class schedule data for spring 2018
CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
68059	Lecture	DFS	ARRANGED	n.a.	Location Pending	Socie, D	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/16/18-05/02/18 Credit: 2 hours Section Title: Fun with Mechanics Section Info: This course is being offered to give graduate students an opportunity to participate in a creative design project course that is of a competitive nature. In the first semester ( 2 credit hours ) small student teams of 3 - 5 persons will design a device to meet the specified technical requirements of the competition and provide an engineering analysis that shows that their design is likely to be successful. The device will be fabricated in the second semester ( 2 credit hours). The Fall 2017 project was to build a walking machine that is powered by a cordless drill that carries a human rider. A competition consisting of racing around the Engineering Quad will be held at the end of the second semester in the spring of 2018. This course has no lectures or exams, grades are based solely on the project. Restriction(s): Restricted to students in the Mechanical Sci & Engineering department. Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.

Engineering careers, whether in academia or industry, increasingly require some community outreach, with a particular focus on outreach to underrepresented groups. This course will explore how to create a more culturally responsive and sustainable model of engineering outreach. Discussions will cover topics from the history of discrimination in the US education system to current best practices in teaching and outreach at the K-12 level. In the laboratory portion of this course, you will work with a group of high school students to address an engineering challenge that is relevant to the middle schoolers’ interests and expertise. The project will result in solutions developed collaboratively through iterative prototyping using a wide range of tools available through the University and the school and discussions with potential end-users. Please note that every student must sign up for a 50 minute teaching practicum on Fridays and that that this course will not count toward the minimum 12-hour MechSE 500-level coursework requirement for MechSE graduate students. Students from other departments should inquire with their department to determine if this course can be used towards their MS or Ph.D. Discussion Session: Tuesdays 3:30-4:50PM. Laboratory: Thursdays 3:30-4:50PM. Practicum: Held at Centennial High School in Champaign. You will sign up for one recurring weekly 50-minute session at the high school (Session 1: 8:10am-9:00am, Session 2: 9:58am-10:48am). Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
