As part of a mechanical design & machining course at the University of Pennsylvania, I designed an manufactured a sterling heat engine. During this hands-on, project-based course, students develop the knowledge and skills necessary to design, analyze, manufacture, and test fully-functioning mechanical systems. Topics covered include an introduction to machine elements, analysis of the mechanics of machining, manufacturing technology, precise fabrication (milling, turning, and computer-controlled machining), metrology, tolerances, cutting-tool fundamentals, and engineering materials.
