Fall 2020 Engineering Course on Tractor Design-Limited seats available!
Interested students should register soon as the classroom is small and there are a limited number of seats. All BE and AgE students should be able to do well in the course with no special prerequisite knowledge needed. However, those who have NOT had EGM 3520 should contact Dr. John Schueller to discuss it.
Off-Highway Vehicle Design
Section 26663 (only) of EML 4930
MWF 8th (3:00-3:50) Weil 234
This course will use the example of agricultural tractor design to illustrate applied mechanical machine design. Prof. Karl Renius, a retired ME professor from the Technical University of Munich and unquestionably the world’s top expert on tractor design, has used his retirement to write the definitive book on tractor design and Springer has just published it. We will cover the book in this class.

Please note:
- This course has never been taught before and may be modified as the semester proceeds. But I anticipate closely following the textbook.
- The classroom has limited seating. If you are really interested, I suggest you enroll soon. If not really interested, don’t enroll so others can take it.
- EGM 3520 Mechanics of Materials should be a prerequisite.
