ME and IE at UIUC

1. ME and IE at UIUC Craig Dutton Associate Head for Undergraduate Programs Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Eastern Illinois University January 23, 2003

2. Analyze Design Choose materials Specify processes Organize materials streams Organize assembly Develop manufacturing processes Produce Recall Perform failure analysis Re-design Update Innovate What do engineers do?

3. What is Mechanical Engineering? • ME is concerned with the technological and economic aspects in the design, development, and use of machines, products, and processes • ME may be the broadest of the engineering disciplines • MEs work in the energy, transportation, consumer goods, defense, housing, agriculture, and many other industries – not just cars and engines Micro-gear pump

4. ME: Design and Materials

5. ME: Controls and Dynamics

6. ME: Thermal/Fluid Sciences Normal Shock Normal Shock M=1.4 M=1.4 Triple Point Triple Point

7. What is Industrial Engineering? • IE integrates human, information, material, monetary, and technological resources to produce goods and services optimally • IE may be the most business- and people-oriented of the engineering disciplines • IEs work in factories, banks, hospitals, government, airlines, telecommunications, e-commerce, etc.
