Course Description & Objectives This course reinforces the students understanding of the fundamentals of kinematics and dynamics of machinery. The students will develop the ability to use graphical, analytical, and numerical techniques in the analysis and synthesis of machines. Some design experience will be gained by completing specific and creative design projects.

Course Outcomes The course MECE 3270U introduces you to the geometry, motions and forces of machines. By the end of the course you should be able to: o Identify the working members and joints of planar mechanisms. Identify linkage isomers, inversions, crossed-forms, coupler curves and transmission angles. o Synthesize simple planar mechanisms. o Construct accurate velocity and acceleration polygons, including coriolis acceleration, and solve for point and angular velocities and accelerations. o Analytically calculate and use computer programs to obtain position, velocity and acceleration values for four-bar and slider crank mechanisms and to obtain tables and graphs of the results. o Use graphical and analytical methods to obtain static, inertia and dynamic forces on planar mechanisms. o Understand concepts and applications of flywheels. o Understand concepts and applications of simple gyroscopic forces. o Apply static and dynamic balancing principles to rotating systems and understand the concepts of practical balancing. o Understand and apply the concepts of cam design. o Understand and apply the terminology of spur gears. o Understand the geometry and application of helical, worm and bevel gears. o Solve for the motions and forces in simple, compound and planetary gear trains.

Passing Grades o As indicated in the undergraduate academic calendar (2013/2014) Notes: o If you do better on the final exam than you do on the mid-term exam, then the final exam will be worth 55% and mid-term 15%.

Midterm Tests Midterm Test: Saturday, October 26, 2013 from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM at UP 1500. There will be one midterm exam and one final exam. The exams are closed book, closed-notes, individual activities, but two handwritten sheets (both sides) will be permitted. No make-up exams will be given without any official excuse.

Late or Missed Assignments/Exams Only medical or emergency conditions constitute exceptions that a student can be excused and given appropriate time to complete missed work such as assignments or exams. Any foreseeable excuse should be discussed with the instructor at least 3 days before any due date. Assignments returned later than the indicated due date will not be accepted. If you miss an exam please contact your student advisor with proper documentation within 5 days of the missed deadline.

Religious Observances: Students are required to identify any scheduling conflicts due to religious observances by the second week of classes with the professor and student advisor. After that date, the course schedule will be finalized. Please see the UOIT Website (www.uoit.ca) for further details regarding policies.

Academic Integrity and Conduct Students are expected to adhere to the highest standards of academic honesty. Although teamwork and collaboration is encouraged, copying from other's work from assignments or in the exams will be considered academic dishonesty and requires disciplinary action. UOIT is committed to the fundamental values of preserving academic integrity as defined in UOIT policies and contained in the UOIT Calendar. Students should familiarize themselves with UOITs policies and statements in this area. Acts of academic dishonesty, including plagiarism, cheating, aiding others in cheating, and examination impersonation, will be dealt with severely as they threaten the integrity of the academic system and are not acceptable.
