  • EN 530.405: Mechanics of Solids and Structures

    3.00 Credits
    Johns Hopkins University

    This course provides an introduction to the mathematical and theoretical foundations of the mechanics of solids and structures. We will begin with the mathematical preliminaries used in continuum mechanics: vector and tensor calculus, then introduce kinematics and strain measures, descriptions of stress in a body, frame indifference, conservation laws: mass, momentum, energy balance, and entropy. These concepts will be applied to develop the constitutive equations for solids and fluids, methods for solving boundary values problems that occur in engineering structures, energy methods and foundations of the finite element method.

  • EN 530.421: Mechatronics

    3.00 Credits
    Johns Hopkins University

    Students from various engineering disciplines are divided into groups of two to three students. These groups each develop a microprocessor-controlled electromechanical device, such as a mobile robot. The devices compete against each other in a final design competition. Topics for competition vary from year to year. Class instruction includes fundamentals of mechanism kinematics, creativity in the design process, an overview of motors and sensors, and interfacing and programming microprocessors. Prerequisite: 530.420 or instructor's permission required

  • EN 530.444: Computer-Aided Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer

    3.00 Credits
    Johns Hopkins University

    Computer simulation has become an essential part of science and engineering and this course introduces the student to the use of computer simulation in the disciplines of heat transfer and fluid mechanics. The commercial software COMSOL is used a wide variety of problems, ranging from simple models for which analytical solutions are available, to complex, unsteady, multiphysics real-life problems. Problems will be solved by identifying proper governing equations and boundary conditions first, and then implementing these in the COMSOL environment. Applications will include heat conduction, convection and radiation, internal and external flows, with applications ranging from mechanical to biomedical and aerospace engineering.

  • EN 530.455: Practical Statistics for Analysis of Human Subject Data for Engineers

    1.00 Credits
    Johns Hopkins University

    Basic probabilty or permission of instructor, Matlab or other programming experince. An introduction to hypothesis testing focusing on experiment design and analysis for human subject studies. This course will introduce several statistical tests, including t-tests and between- and within-subjects ANOVA. We will address practical concerns such as (1) designing experiments to simplify analysis, (2) choosing appropriate statistical tests, (3) what to do when typical ANOVA assumptions fail, and (4) presentation of statistical data. We will apply techniques learned to analyze sample data using Matlab.

  • EN 530.470: Space Vehicle Dynamics & Control

    3.00 Credits
    Johns Hopkins University

    In this course we study applied spacecraft orbital and attitude dynamics and their impact on other subsystems. In the orbital dynamics part of the course, we discuss some the issues associated with orbital insertion, control and station keeping. Focus is on the two-body problem regime where conic solutions are valid. Orbit perturbations are also considered. For attitude dynamics, different attitude representations such as of direction cosines, quaternions, and angles are introduced. Then we look at the forces and moments acting on space vehicles. Attitude stability and control considerations are introduced.

  • EN 530.489: The Kalman Filter

    1.00 Credits
    Johns Hopkins University

    Prereqs: Basic Probability Since its advent, the Kalman filter has been the workhorse for estimation and control of dynamical systems spanning virtually all disciplines: spacecraft, airplanes, submarines, automobiles, factory automation, electronics, and more. This one credit course will teach the derivation of the Kalman filter from first principles. We will cover the necessary basic probability theory and culminate with a discussion of Dr. Kalman's seminal paper on the subject, written while he was living in Baltimore in 1960.
