  • MS 527: Transport Phenomena in Materials ProcessingPrereq

    4.00 Credits
    Boston University

    ENG ME 304 or consent of instructor. Introduction to momentum, heat, and mass transport phenomena occurring in various processes. Whereas transport phenomena underlie many processes in engineering-agriculture, meteorology, physiology, biology, analytical chemistry, materials science, pharmacy, and other areas-they are key to specific applications in diverse areas such as materials processing, green manufacturing of primary materials, biological membranes, fuel cell engineering, and synthesis of clean fuels. This course covers three closely related transport phenomena: momentum transfer (fluid flow), energy transfer (heat flow), and mass transfer (diffusion). The mathematical underpinnings of all three transport phenomena are closely related and the differential equations governing them are frequently quite similar. Since in many situations the three transport phenomena occur together, they are presented and studied together in this course. 4 cr.

  • MS 555: MEMS:Fabrication and MaterialsPrereq

    4.00 Credits
    Boston University

    graduate status or consent of the instructor. This course will explore the world of microelectromechanical devices and systems (MEMS). This requires an awareness of design, fabrication, and material issues involved in MEMS. We will go over this through a combination of lectures, case studies, and individual homework assignments. The course will cover design, fabrication technologies, material properties, structural mechanics, basic sensing and actuation principles, packaging, and MEMS markets and applications. The course will emphasize MEMS fabrication and materials. This is not because the other parts aren't important. Instead, it is because with MEMS fabrication and materials expertise there is something concrete students can do that will always help. When we examine the special topics and case studies, a lot of these other pieces will be put together. 4 cr.
