-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course will cover fundamentals of heat transfer and applications to practical problems in energy conversion and conservation, electronics, and biological systems. Emphasis will be on developing a physical and analytical understanding of conductive, convective, and radiative heat transfer, as well as design of heat exchangers and heat transfer systems involving phase change in process and energy applications. Students will develop an ability to apply governing principles and physical intuition to solve multi-mode heat transfer problems.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
The study of principles, flight envelopes, and engine designs of rocket and ram/scramjet propulsion systems. Topics include jet propulsion theory, space mission maneuver, combustion control, and system components of chemical and non-chemical rockets (nuclear and electrical propulsion), gas turbine, ramjet, and scramjet engines. Characteristics, optimal flight envelopes, and technical challenges of combined propulsion systems will be analyzed.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course will develop an overview of energy utilization in and environmental impacts of current and future propulsion systems for ground, air, and space propulsion applications. Principles of advanced internal combustion, electric hybrid, and fuel cell energy conversion systems for ground transportation will be introduced. Relevant thermodynamics, chemistry, fluid mechanics, and combustion fundamentals will be stressed, and performance properties of power plants, control of air pollutant emissions, and minimization of resource-to application carbon emissions will be explored.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Students will develop an understanding of feedback principles in the control of dynamic systems, and gain experience in analyzing and designing control systems.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to modern state-space methods for robust control system design and analysis. Applications include controlling the performance of a variety of dynamical systems. Topics include stability, controllability and observability, state feedback control, observers and output feedback control, linear matrix inequalities, and optimal and robust control design methods.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This practical course introduces students to fundamental aspects of the technological innovation process. It addresses the challenges of ideas development and evaluation for commercial feasibility, presenting a business case, design/development and commercialization. It covers basic management practices and critical success factors required to excel in successful innovation, such as Corporate Governance and Social Responsibility, time-based management, corporate agility. It prepares students to become technology-savvy entrepreneurs, leaders and managers in a variety of organizations (small business enterprises to industry or to government.)
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Similar to 440 with the principle difference that the team or group project must incorporate aspects and principles of design, whether for a system, product, vehicle, device, software, or apparatus. The year-long senior project with design may be used to satisfy a portion of the department's design requirement.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Similar to 442 with the principle difference that the thesis must incorporate aspects and principles of design, whether for a system, product, vehicle, device, software, or apparatus. The year-long senior thesis with design may be used to satisfy a portion of the department's design requirement.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course builds on the technical foundations established in the engineering program, and extends the scope to include the business, financial, and marketing components that lead to successful entrepreneurial ventures. Students will be directly engaged in the process of identifying, creating and exploiting entrepreneurial opportunities. Entrepreneurial design will be introduced and developed. Students, working in small multidisciplinary teams, will identify, design and prototype a highly marketable, consumer product. Classic and modern market analysis, manufacture and distribution will be introduced along with business planning & finance.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
An introduction to key ideas in science, technology, humanities, and social sciences that are relevant to global development. The course will highlight essential needs in the rural environment and consider how to develop environmentally-friendly scientific and technology solutions to satisfy these needs. The course will also examine the potential role of global technology in the development of rural and urban areas within the developing world. Morning lectures will be followed by field activities and group projects. The course will be taught at the Mpala Center as part of the Tropical Biology Program in Kenya.
