3.00 Credits
Description: This course introduces transport phenomena applied to biological systems for students of engineering and science. The subjects of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat and mass transfer will be discussed in conjunction with agricultural, biological, biomedical, and environmental engineering fields. Specific topics include governing equations and boundary conditions, heat and mass transfer in living systems, greenhouse effects, steady and unsteady transport mechanisms, heat and mass transfer with phase changes, and numerical methods. Graduate-level requirements include separate numerical methods project and more extensive homework and exams. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. May be convened with: ABE 484. Usually offered: Spring.

3.00 Credits
Description: This course tackles the techniques for the design, fabrication, and testing of traditional microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanodevices. Each student will be required to participate in weekly laboratory sessions, to keep a laboratory notebook, and to submit a project report (25% Honors final grade;15% Undergraduate final grade) focusing on the design, fabrication, and testing of a MEMS device. Honors students receive additional homework assignments typically involving derivation or proof of a theory presented in class. Additionally, Honors students are asked to complete an independent MEMS/NEMS design, while undergraduates can use an existing device design. Grading differences are reflected in the syllabus.
