No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1971–72 to 1990–91 (before that, 1970–71 used the number for Introduction to Mechanical Enginering 3 §23 Mechanical Design 2 §24 Advanced Dynamics §25 Mechanical Vibrations in Machines); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Research frontiers in Mechanical Engineering, specific discussion of research done at Waterloo, seminars by members of research group.
As printed in the 1971–72 to 1990–91 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.

[deleted]: “Do those exist? I know ME 400 (Law?) offers something like that. Is there something like that anywhere else? Phil? History? art? math?”
