7/31/2019: Course Change Form MGMT 659
The addition of MGMT-510: Foundations of Business as an alternative to satisfy pre-requisites
8/28/2019: Course Change Form MECH ENG
Kettering University is eliminating 500 course numbers due to HLC concerns about our 500 level courses. Since our 500 level courses are defined as mezzanine they are not considered to be graduate courses by HLC. This puts a limit on how many 500 level courses a graduate student can take in the graduate program. According to HLC they cannot take more than five 500 courses.
Change reflects restructuring of the MSE program into 4xx/6xx courses and eliminating 500 level courses. Graduate students will now be expected to complete additional modeling/project work

Citizen Stories: Voices From the Flint Water Crisis
The Citizen Stories web application was developed to meet the need of a team of researchers who are collaborating on a project to collect and archive stories told by residents of Flint, Michigan regarding their experience with the Flint Water Crisis. Keeping a record of the stories and facts about the water crisis will create a resource for others to learn about the events that happened and how they can be prevented in the future. A user-friendly point-of-access for the video archives and other data relevant to the water crisis is vital for the archive to serve its purpose. To meet this need, the web application was developed with a Google map as the main feature, allowing stories to be grouped on the map by regions of occurrence and paired with meaningful data to provide a broader context to researchers and Flint citizens
Analysis and Design Optimization of Seat Rail Structures in Various Operating Conditions
Automotive seating rail structures are one of the key components in the automotive industry because they carry the entire weight of passenger and they are the holding structure for the seating foams and other assembled important components such as side airbag and seatbelt systems. The entire seating is supported firmly and attached to the bottom bodywork of the vehicle through the linkage assembly called the seat rails. These seat rails are adjustable in their longitudinal motion which plays an important role in giving the passengers enough leg room to make them feel comfortable. Therefore, seat rails under the various operating conditions, should be able to withstand the complete weight of the human with the seating structures, other assembled parts into the seating, and functional requirements such as crash safety which are important to avoid or minimize injuries to the occupants. Keeping the above requirements in view, the goal of this paper is to perform studies on the seat rails under different operating conditions through a detailed investigation using SolidWorks simulation tool for structural and vibration (dynamic) analyses with durability and design optimization using different grades of steel, aluminum, and multimaterials. Based on these studies a newly designed seat rail structure to increase the fatigue life, decrease the damage percentage, and increase the resonant frequencies are proposed
