Section 26663 (only) of EML 4930
This course will use the example of agricultural tractor design to illustrate applied mechanical machine design. Prof. Karl Renius, a retired ME professor from the Technical University of Munich and unquestionably the world’s top expert on agricultural tractor design, has used his retirement to write the definitive book on tractor design and Springer has just published it. We will cover the book in this class. Students must buy a printed hardcopy (open book exams demand no e-book).
Target Student Audience: Students wanting an elective in mechanical machine design, especially if interested in the various automotive industries. Students must be willing to study agricultural tractor design knowing that the concepts might be similar, not exactly the same, in other industries. This is an elective engineering course in most majors. (Please contact your advisor if unsure.)
