The rational selection of engineering materials, and the utilization of Ashby-charts, stress, strain, strength, and fatigue failure consideration as applied to the design of machine elements. Lectures also support the development of system design concepts using assigned projects and involve the preparation of engineering reports and drawings.

Prerequisites: ME 14, with a minimum grade of C-; and ME 15, with a minimum grade of C-; and MATRL 101 (or MATRL 100C); or consent of instructor. Open to ME majors only.

ME156A . Susko T G 1 Year, 5 Months Ago

Too test dependent. Makes test ridiculously long for no reason and 70% of the grade. Good lecture though. Grade received in the class does not reflect student's knowledge because of how test are structured. He wants to see half the class fail. No curve.

Prerecorded lectures are all over the place, making the content extremely difficult to follow. Quizzes and final were quite difficult, and often frustrating, especially when they are poorly worded, or have you flipping all around the book to find the appropriate diagrams. Also, all the material covered is completely useless imo.

Really Awesome professor. One of the best a I've had at UCSB!

ME104 . Susko T G 3 Years Ago

Class that was revamped with an arduino engineering kit. Kit was a bit of a mess, not the fault of the professor, just a lot of hardware and software problems that made completing the required labs difficult but Susko was pretty accommodating. Weekly labs (with reports) and a final.

I know it a tough quarter, but apparently susko did not teach enough concepts and ideas to students. His teaching style is not clear and formal; everything is flying all around the blackboard. I hope we have other professors to teach the course.

I wish I have another option. His teaching style is unclear and unorganized. I don't want one professor to teach all the courses that are required to graduate.
