andsponsor projects. Moreover, the Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) of our mechanical engineeringprogram is very supportive of our program, especially our capstone senior design program. Theyhave provided us with many senior design projects over the years.The reception of this idea by local industry was very positive because they realized they wouldbenefit greatly. Industry organizations get their design problems solved free of labor costs; allthey would need to pay for are the parts and materials. Additionally, this provides the mechanicalengineering program with support for practical and real-world engineering design problems.The types of design projects that local industry organizations are interested in include thefollowing:  Developing a

consists of two main, yet overlapping,branches: the thermal-fluids branch and materials-mechanics branch. A large part of thethermal-fluids branch is associated with the production of mechanical power. A large partof the materials-mechanics branch is related to the mechanical transmission of thispower. A widely used “sub-system” that transmits mechanical power is the drive trainthat in turn is composed of a variety of mechanical components, e.g., bearings, gears,couplings, and belts/chains. Each of these components has a specific purpose and isrepresented by a variety of special designs. Examples of bearings and gears include: ballbearings, straight roller bearings, tapered roller bearings, thrust bearings, spur gears,bevel gears, helical gears
