Undergraduate Education
MSOE's undergraduate programs provide mechanical engineering and mechanical
engineering technology students with the opportunity to take courses in basic
fluid power (hydraulics), modeling of components and systems, open and closed
loop electrohydraulic control systems, and complete a "capstone"
fluid power design project.
For the mechanical engineering program, the course sequence consists of the
following:
- Fluid Power Circuits
- Advanced Hydraulic Circuits
- Design of Fluid Power Circuits
- Automatic Controls I (Required)
- Automatic Controls II (Required)
For the mechanical engineering technology program, the course sequence consists of the following:
- Fluid Power Circuits (Required)
- Power Transmission Control (Required)
- Feedback Control Systems (Required)
- Advanced Hydraulic Circuits
- Design of Fluid Power Circuits
Additional elective courses include:
- Electrohydraulic Systems
- Finite Element Analysis
- Fluid Mechanics Applications
Graduate
Education
MSOE offers a fluid power option in its Master of Science in Engineering
degree program. This technical option consists of a three course sequence in
hydraulics:
- Mathematical Modeling of Fluid Power Systems
- Theory of Fluid Power Dynamics
- Design of Feedback Controls for Fluid Power Systems
Professional Education Seminars
MSOE's fluid power seminars offer participants the opportunity to explore
recent technological developments, and current applications and techniques. The
majority of these programs are designed to keep practicing engineers abreast of
new developments in fluid power. Other seminars provide a basic understanding
of the technology to new entrants into the field.
The programs are presented by MSOE faculty and industry specialists. An
applications-oriented approach is utilized, including hands-on laboratory
sessions whenever appropriate.
Seminars are continually revised to stay current with today's technology and
participants' needs. Current seminars offerings are conducted by the Professional
Education and Research Development
Department.
