Professional and management activities of project engineering, first of a two course sequence. Topics covered include engineering ethics, selection of senior design project, and initial product design leading to a written and oral presentation of project proposal. Project will be completed in MNE 498, but work done in this course is evaluated and a course grade is given.

Application of knowledge gained in various courses to the synthesis, analysis, and design of a system in a particular field of interest selected by student. This is the second of a two-course sequence. Design project proposed in MNE 497 will be completed, and a final report and oral presentation will be made before a panel of judges.

Dr. Hamed Samandari is a Full-time Lecturer at the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth (UMassD). Prior to joining UMassD, Dr. Samandari served for three years as a Visiting Faculty at Miami University. Prior to his appointment with Miami University, he also spent a year as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Hamed received his BSc, MSc, and PhD degrees, all in Mechanical Engineering, form Isfahan University of Technology in Iran, University of Tabriz in Iran, and Middle East Technical University in Turkey, respectively.

Hamed’s vision is to advance modeling, monitoring, and identification techniques with particular focus on exploiting nonlinearities, addressing unmet needs in a wide range of mechanical applications as well as biomedical applications. His research activities cover topics in Energy Systems, Bionic Systems, Vehicle Dynamics, Nonlinear Vibrations, and Nano scale electromechanical devices. Currently, Hamed is collaborating with interdisciplinary teams from industry, academia, and healthcare working on projects on:

  • Flow-induced Nonlinear Energy Harvesting
  • Personalized Volume Management in End-Stage Kidney Patients
  • Applied Computational Frameworks to Compute Nonlinear Normal Modes of Complex Structures
