Multi-Scale System Design: Course Description
'Multi-Scale System Design' is taught by Professors Martin Culpepper and Sang-Gook Kim and is aimed towards mechanical engineering students with an interest in multi-scale engineering design. When students work with multi-scale systems, they have to deal with components that are from different length scales and determine how make these components compatible. Some of the topics covered in this course include manufacturing issues related to the design of multi-scale models, functional periodicity, metrology and design theories. Students will also learn about a variety of multi-scale systems, including nanomanipulators, precision instruments, carbon nano-tube assemblies, fiber optics and nanorobotics. Students will complete a literature critique, problem sets and a project in addition to reading assigned texts. This class was originally taught in 2004 as a lecture class.
Homework assignments, selected readings and information about class projects are available for download for free online. If you are interested in taking this course, please visit the multi-scale system design course page.
