Project Archive
The project archive here is intended primarily to offer ideas for student projects following the suggestions in the textbook.
These project reports included here were submitted as part of the course requirements by students enrolled in the graduate course Design Optimization (ME 566 or ME 555) in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan starting in 1980, and in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE 598/494) at the University of Arizona starting in 2015. They have been archived here as a resource for both instructors and students interested in design optimization. All projects include a modeling and solution part. There are no guarantees that either part is correct in every respect, but most of them are a labor of love by their authors. They are provided “as is.” The conduct of the project work has typically followed the guidelines offered in the textbook. The said conduct and choice of topics, which are the students’ own, may even offer a historical testament to the evolution of our design optimization thinking and practice.
There is a wealth of project topics. You may search the titles of the projects using the “find” functionality of your browser. (This is why all the projects are in a single, really long page.) There are several hundred projects consisting of more than 20,000 pages of material. Project titles in gray are not available at this time. We are adding reports on an on-going basis.
The digital compilation was performed initially by Matt Parkinson to whom I am indebted. I am also grateful to many ODE Lab members for continuing updates.
The majority of projects to date were conducted with me as the course instructor. Other instructors that have taught on the Design Optimization course at Michigan with great distinction include Michael Kokkolaras, Emrah Bayrak, Alex Burnap and Jesse Austin-Breneman; and ‘Max’ Yi Ren at Arizona. I am grateful for having their class project reports included in this archive.
The reports are available as open access under normal creative commons rules. These projects are the property of the University of Michigan or the University of Arizona, and of the authors. When you use the projects, please reference the course, the authors, and this website.
Please note that some reports and/or years marked with an asterisk (*) are not available at this time due to IP requirements. Access may be allowed at a later time.
Please do not send me any questions about these projects. They are provided “as is” for the benefit of new student projects.
Thank you.
