-
0.00 Credits
A study of architectural design concepts including space relationship, site planning, and use of materials. The students will prepare a three- dimensional model based on their own design. The course includes field trips. Prerequisite: Engineering 341. 1.00 units, Lecture
-
25.00 Credits
A study of fundamental concepts in fluid mechanics, including fluid physical properties, hydrostatics, fluid dynamics, conservation of mass and momentum, dimensional analysis, pipe flow, open channel flow, and aerodynamics. Lab experiments illustrate basic fluid dynamic concepts and introduce the student to pressure and flow instrumentation and empirical methods. Lab projects include subsonic wind-tunnel testing of aerodynamic models, mechanical instrumentation design and fabrication, and computer-aided piping design. Advanced concepts such as differential analysis (e.g., the Navier-Stokes equations) and solution of the resulting partial differential equations by numerical methods will be introduced. Lecture and laboratory. Prerequisite: Engineering 225 and Mathematics 231. 1.25 units, Lecture
-
0.00 Credits
An introduction to the physical phenomena associated with heat transfer. Analytical and empirical techniques to study heat transfer by conduction, forced and free convection, and radiation are presented. Heat equations developed for applied conduction are solved numerically via digital computer. Students will apply design and analysis of heat transfer systems that combine conduction, convection, and radiation. Prerequisite: Engineering 212L or permission of instructor. 1.00 units, Lecture
-
0.50 Credits
Independent research supervised by a faculty member in an area of the student's special interests. Submission of the special registration form, available in the Registrar's Office, and the approval of the instructor and chairperson are required for enrollment. 0.50 units min / 1.00 units max, Independent Study
-
3.00 Credits
This introductory course uses an integrative and cross-disciplinary approach to survey basic principles and modern theories and methods in several important areas of neural engineering. Course topics include: neural prosthetics, neural stimulation, neurophysiology, neural signal detection and analysis and computational neural networks. The practicalities of the emerging technology of brain-computer interface as well as other research topics in neural engineering will be discussed. Students will also have the opportunity to perform hands-on computer simulation and modeling of neural circuits and systems. Prerequisite: Open to all junior and senior life science and physical science majors. 1.00 units, Seminar
-
1.00 Credits
This introductory course in cellular neurophysiology presents a modern and important body of knowledge in a highly integrated fashion drawing from the contributions of anatomists, physiologists, and electrical engineers. The basic biochemical properties of the membrane and sensory transduction, neural transmission, and synaptic interaction are considered in sequential order. Then the collective action of neurons in the form of compound electrical responses, and the electroencephalogram are discussed as means of understanding the neural circuitry involved in various behavioral modalities such as sleep-walking oscillation, pain modulation, etc. Particular emphasis is placed on experimental design. Ongoing research studies illustrating the concepts and techniques presented in the course will be discussed. Open to all junior and senior life science and physical science majors. 1.00 units, Lecture
-
0.00 Credits
An introduction to the design and use of models and simulations in the quantitative description of physiological systems. These tools are especially useful for describing membrane biophysics, neural modeling, cardiovascular system dynamics, respiratory mechanics, and muscle contraction. This course is designed for upper-level students in engineering and the life sciences. Significant engineering and software design is incorporated in all homework assignments. Prerequisites: Mathematics 131, Physics 131L, and Biology 153L, or permission of the instructor. Prequisite: MATH131, PHYS 131 and BIOL153 or Permission of Instructor 1.00 units, Lecture
-
0.00 Credits
This laboratory course requires junior and senior level mechanical engineering students to perform significant independent engineering design using skills acquired from a broad range of previous engineering courses. Simultaneously, it provides practical experience designing, testing, and using mechanical transducers for measuring displacement, velocity, acceleration, force, temperature, and pressure. Transducers are interfaced to electrical and computer subsystems for data collection and subsequent numerical analysis. CAD design, machining, and finite-element analysis of structures are introduced. Prerequisite: Engineering 212L and Engineering 225 or permission of the instructor. 1.00 units, Lecture
-
0.50 Credits
Submission of the special registration form, available in the Registrar's Office, and the approval of the instructor and chairperson are required for enrollment. 0.50 units min / 1.00 units max, Independent Study
-
1.00 Credits
A research and design project, supervised by a member of the engineering faculty, that integrates knowledge from mathematics, science, and engineering courses taken for the major. Students must choose an area of study, survey the literature, determine feasibility, complete the design, and plan for implementation. Working either individually or as members of a team, students will submit full project documentation to the faculty supervisor and deliver a final oral presentation to the department. Normally elected in the fall semester. May not be taken concurrently with Engineering 484. This course open to senior engineering majors only. 1.00 units, Seminar
