ME 352 is a required course for the BSME program, and it is typically taken in the third year. The primary goal is to provide mechanical engineering majors with a basic knowledge of numerical methods including: root-finding, elementary numerical linear algebra, solving systems of linear equations, curve fitting, and numerical solution to ordinary differential equations. MATLAB is the software environment used for implementation and application of these numerical methods. The numerical techniques learned in this course enable students to work with mathematical models of technology and systems.

| Demonstration of the use of MATLAB in Core Mechanical Engineering Courses |
|
| Description: |
This webpage provides example problems in core mechanical engineering courses such as statics, strength of materials, dynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, machine design, and system dynamics. Each problem is solved establishing the steps and then re-solved using MATLAB implementing the same steps.

| Automotive Research Lab at Penn State Gives Students Practical Hardware-in-the-Loop Experience |
|
| Description: |
In a graduate-level course at Penn State, engineering students use MathWorks tools to facilitate the study of electric, hybrid-electric, and fuel cell vehicle technology using hardware-in-the loop (HIL) methodologies. The MathWorks tools allowed the students to do modeling, analysis, and controller design using a single software tool. Students used MATLAB and Simulink to analyze, explore, and visualize systems. |

| Mechanics of Growth |
|
| Description: |
This course addresses the phenomenon of growth on a theoretical and computational level and applies the resulting theories to classical biomechanical problems like bone remodeling, hip replacement, wound healing, atherosclerosis or in stent restenosis. This course will illustrate how classical engineering concepts like continuum mechanics, thermodynamics or finite element modeling have to be rephrased in the context of growth.
