ME216C: Implementation II is a continuation of ME216B. Students would develop project from ME216B to a further state of completion. Design will be completed, details about manufacturing, cost and production will be developed. Students will validate their projects by making them real in the world. Prerequisites for class are ME216A and ME216B.Prerequisite: 216A and 216B.
-
Summary project using knowledge, methodology, and skills obtained in Product Design major. Students implement an original design concept and present it to a professional jury. Prerequisite: 216A.
-
Lecture/lab. Small- and medium- scale design projects carried to a high degree of aesthetic refinement. Emphasis is on form development, design process, and model making.

: Challenges and Opportunities in Developing Materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries with William Chueh
High energy density and long-lasting lithium-ion batteries are key toward the next-generation electric vehicles. The main challenges facing materials engineer today are the long development time for components such as positive and negative electrodes, and the rare events that lead to degradations. In this talk, William Chueh, Assistant Professor, Materials Science and Engineering will present...
