Introduction to Mechanical Engineering  (97%)

Purpose of Course

This course will introduce you to the field of mechanical engineering and the interplay of physics, mathematics, communications, and sciences necessary for the study, design, and manufacture of mechanical products and systems.  The course is divided into four units.  In the first unit, you will learn how mechanical engineering is broadly defined, what mechanical engineers do, and what technical capabilities they have.  We will also review some basic mathematics and physics applicable in any engineering discipline.   In the second unit, you will learn about the ethical considerations and technical communication skills necessary for engineering work.  You will revisit these issues in more detail in several of the subsequent courses in the Mechanical Engineering curriculum.  The third unit focuses on computational tools for engineering problems.  In that unit, you will learn about not only a specific computational environment in the public domain (called Scilab), but also the application of that environment to some commonly encountered engineering problems.  Finally, in the fourth unit, you will apply some of the concepts learned in the previous three units to a small design project that employs mechanical engineering principles.

Share the same Keyboard and Mouse with Multiple Computers

Pretty helpful tips on using two computers at once. Amplify’d from www.labnol.org Share the same Keyboard and Mouse with Multiple Computers Software Alternatives to KVM Switches If you are not too keen on a hardware based solution and if your systems are connected with each other over LAN, all you need is copy of Input Director , a Windows-only utility that’s easy to configure and is absolutely free for personal use. 4. Unlike a VNC software, you can’t drag and drop windows from one computer to another. However, Input Director supports clipboard sharing so you can copy-paste URLs and other text across computers. [**] If you only want to share a monitor between two computers, you don’t even need a KVM switch. Just connect one computer to the monitor using a VGA cable and the other monitor using the DVI or HDMI cable. You can then switch between computer using a button on the monitor itself. The good thing about using a software based solution is that you can seaml...
