3.00 Credits
This course is targeted for engineering/physics students working in the areas of nano/bio technology. The course will start with a quick review of statistical mechanics and proceed to topics such as Langevin dynamics, solution biochemistry (Poisson-Boltzmann and Debye-Huckel theory), entropic elasticity of bio-polymers and networks, reaction rate kinetics, solid state physics and other areas of current technological relevance. Students will be expected to have knowledge of undergraduate mechanics, physics and thermodynamics.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite(s): ENM 510 or equivalent, and undergraduate level heat and/or mass transfer. Advanced modeling and solutions of heat conduction and mass diffusion, with emphasis on the similarities and analogies between these phenomena. Analytical and numerical solutions, including the use of available general and specific software for the solution of the associated differential equations. Inverse problem solution techniques. Applications including basic and combined problems as well as moving interfaces, effects of energy sources and chemical reactions, interfacial contact resistance, advanced insulation, thermal stresses, composite materials, and microscale and non-continuum systems.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite(s): Undergraduate level heat transfer and MEAM 642 or permission of instructor. Development of formulations governing forced, buoyancy induced, and phase change transport and convective motions with emphasis on the underlying conservation principles. Following the delineation of the different kinds of transport, the principal models, and methods applicable for each kind are discussed.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite(s): MEAM 664 and 665. Introduction, black body radiation, radiation to and from a surface element, radiative heat exchange among surfaces separated by a non-participating medium, radiation and conduction in non-participating media, radiation and convection in non-participating media, introduction to radiative heat transfer in participating media.

3.00 Credits
The seminar course has been established so that students get recognition for their seminar attendance as well as to encourage students to attend. Students registered for this course are requried to attend weekly departmental seminars given by distinguished speakers from around the world. There will be no quizzes, tests, or homeworks. The course will be graded S/U. In order to obtain a satisfactory (S) grade, the student will need to attend more than 70% of the departmental seminars. Participation in the seminar course will be documented and recorded on the students transcript. In order to obtain their degree, doctoral students will be required to accumulate six seminar courses and MS candidates (beginning in the Fall 2001) two courses. Under special circumstances, i.e. in case of conflict with a course, the student may waive the seminar requirement for a particular semester by petition to the Graduate Group Chair.
