Mechanical Engineering
Overview
Mechanical Engineering Is…
• Finding creative solutions to problems!
• Perhaps the broadest of all the engineering
disciplines.
• Working with motion, energy, forces, and
thermodynamics.
• Concerned with analysis, design, manufacture
and operation of areas such as:
–
–
–
–
–
–
Energy
Defense
Environment
Health & Bio
Manufacturing
Transportation
“Scientists discover the world
that exists; engineers create
the world that never was.”
-Theodore Von Karman

What can Mechanical Engineers do?
• Some Examples of Design
– Machines that manufacture and package all varieties of products
– Rotating equipment - pumps, compressors, blowers,
turbomachinery
– Internal combustion engines
– Storage tanks, piping systems and pressure vessels - reactors,
heat exchangers, boilers
– Sports equipment, consumer goods and products (everything
from golf balls to soda cans to roller coasters)
– Material handling equipment - conveyers, robots, production lines
– Vehicles - cars, trucks, heavy equipment, buses, aircraft, ships
– Electric power generation equipment
– Oil well drilling and extraction equipment
– Nearly every man made object that you can see has been worked
on by a Mechanical Engineer…

ENEMY DETECTION
• A new sensor that measures the motion created by sound waves
under water could allow the U.S. Navy to develop compact
arrays to detect the presence of enemy submarines.
• These compact arrays would detect quiet underwater targets,
while providing very clear directional information.
• The novel underwater
sensor uses optical fibers
to detect the direction from
which a sound is coming
under water.
• This directional component
is an important
improvement over the
current technology.
Mechanical Engineering Research
DEVELOPMENT OF A KINEMATIC MODEL FOR A REHABILITATION ROBOT
• There is currently no way to quantify
how much a person with neuromuscular
disorders shake. Shaking is the
inability to modulate muscle patterns.
• Objective: Develop a quantifiable test
for people with neuromuscular
disorders.
• Patients will wear the robotic jacket and
press a joystick in a prescribed way.
• The jacket's actuators will then be turned
off, one by one, to see how the muscle
movements change.
• This will isolate which muscles are most
affected by the help of the jacket.
• Different muscle groups and levels of
shakiness vary with each type of ailment.
• Ultimately the goal is to diagnose different
neuromuscular ailments with this testing.

Application Engineer
AccuSentry, Inc.
The best part about the
BS/MS program is that I was
able to take a "test drive"
before committing. By the
time I officially became a
graduate student, I had
performed undergraduate
research with my advisor
(Dr. Shreyes Melkote) for
almost a year- and-a-half. I
was even able to spend a
semester working on what
would become my master's
thesis topic. Taking graduate
level classes as an
undergraduate allowed me
to get a feel for what the
course work would be like.
Undergraduate Research
• What is Undergraduate Research?
– Undergraduate research is a single or multiple semester project
working with a professor his/her research or special project
• Research Requirements
– Students can be paid or receive class credit towards the BSME
– Students are responsible for finding faculty members to sponsor
the research
– Most research opportunities exist for juniors & seniors
– 190 ME undergraduate research assignments were completed
last year (Summer 2009, Fall 2009 and Spring 2010)

Global Perspective (GP)
• GP is required for all students who start at Georgia Tech summer
2011 and beyond.
• GP can be a humanities (HUM) or social science elective (SS). Make
sure you select the right one. See note 3 on the ME Curriculum Guide.
• Classes that satisfy the global perspective requirement are at:
http://www.catalog.gatech.edu/students/ugrad/core/gp.php
• Global Perspective Workaround
– The workaround is only valid for students who have not taken economics.
– Students who have not taken Economics, can take ECON 2101 for the
Economics requirement. ECON 2101 will also satisfy the GP requirement.
– The GP requirement will then become a general humanities or social
science elective.
– You CANNOT use ECON 2101 to cross off both economics and GP on your
ME Curriculum. One class cannot satisfy two requirements.
Ethics
•
•
•
Ethics is required for all students.
Ethics can only be the classes listed on the ME curriculum guide.
The PST ethics classes have recently changed from PST (Philosophy,
Science and Technology) to PHIL (Philosophy).
–
–
–
–
•
Transfer credit for the PST version of ethics classes satisfy ethics.
The new PHIL version of ethics classes are valid ethics classes.
The ME Curriculum Guide (CG) shows only PST classes for now.
DegreeWorks does not have the PHIL version of listed yet.
Ethics can be a humanities (HUM) or social science (SS). Make sure you
select the right one. See Note 1 on the ME Curriculum Guide.

Registration
• Registration This Afternoon
– You will receive assistance during the FASET registration session.
– All time tickets for FASET end Friday, January 13 at 4:00 PM EST.
– Add as many classes as possible today. 
• Registration Holds
– Some new students have holds placed by Health Services, the
Registrar’s or Undergraduate Admissions for incomplete
information.
– All holds must be cleared before you are allowed to register.
– Only the department that placed the hold can remove the hold.
Suggestions
• We recommend 12-14 hours during the fall semester.
– Be careful with any combination of ME 1770, ME 2110, CS 1371
and ME 2016. All of these classes are VERY time consuming.

Transfer Assistance Center (TAC)
• This afternoon, all departments will be available to help
you register for your classes at TAC.
– We can only help with ME classes.
– If you have trouble with other classes, you need to talk to that
department, who will also be available at TAC.
– COE classes are handled by Civil Engineering.
• If you cannot register for a class, make sure that you fill
out your Registration Sheet so we can better help you:
– Course Number and Section (ex. COE 2001-A)
– Exact Error Message (ex. Class Restriction Error, Pre-Req & Test
Score Error)
– Your student ID number (ex. 901000000)
– Have your current transcript in case transfer credit does not
show up on your Georgia Tech transcript yet.
Registration After TAC Today…
• Registration instructions are at:
www.me.gatech.edu/undergraduate/registration.shtml#basics
• Overrides (Permits, Overloads, Pre-Reqs)
– All override requests must be made through each respective
department. Example: ME only handles ME classes.
– All override requests for ME and COE classes must be made on
OSCAR. Instructions are at:
www.me.gatech.edu/undergraduate/registration.shtml#override_req
– Some departments do not use OSCAR. If you try to make a
request through OSCAR but cannot find the class, go to:
www.registrar.gatech.edu/registration/oprequest.php
– Response time for requests made through OSCAR can be up to 23 business days. Please be patient.
– Classes that use the WAITLIST option do not give overrloads.
• If you have registration errors, be sure you understand
how to fix your problem. More information is at:
