-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
A survey of modeling and solutions methods for processes involving heat and mass transfer. Topics will include convective and difffusive transport, conservation equations, scaling principles and approximation techniques, forced convection, multi-component energy and mass transfer as well as buoyancy and turbulent driven transport.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Study of static and dynamic properties: hydrodynamics, Brownian motion, electrostatics, dispersion forces, electrokinetics, and electrostatic stabilization.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Topics in convex analysis; unconstrained and constrained nonlinear optimization; duality theory; mixed-integer linear optimization; mixed-integer nonlinear optimization; modeling issues in process synthesis; and process synthesis applications in energy recovery, separations, reactors, and flowsheets.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course introduces the concepts of soft condensed matter and their use in understanding the mechanical properties, dynamic behavior, and self-assembly of living biological materials. We will take an engineering approach that emphasizes the application of fundamental physical concepts to a diverse set of problems taken from the literature, including mechanical properties of biopolymers and the cytoskeleton, directed and random molecular motion within cells, aggregation and collective movement of cells, and phase transitions and critical behavior in the self-assembly of lipid membranes and intracellular structures.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
A study of the design and engineering of biomacromolecules. After a brief review of protein and nucleic acid chemistry and structure, course will delve into rational, evolutionary, and computational methods for the design of these molecules. Specific topics to be covered include aptamers, protein and RNA-based switches and sensors, unnatural amino acids and nucleotides, enzyme engineering, and the integration of these parts via synthetic biology efforts.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Major diseases (cancer, diabetes, heart disease, infectious diseases), the physical changes that inflict morbidity and mortality, the design constraints for treatment, and emerging technologies that take into account these physical hurdles, are covered. Taking the perspective of the design constraints on the system (that is, the mass transport and biophysical limitations of the human body), course surveys recent results from the fields of drug delivery, gene therapy, tissue engineering, and nanotechnology. The main course materials are primary literature.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
The course provides an introduction to the dynamics of suspended liquid and solid particles in gas media. Processes of particle nucleation, coagulation, condensation, deposition, and transport are examined. Atmospheric aerosols and particle activation in the supersaturated environment of clouds will be considered in addition to combustion, ceramic and pharmaceutical aerosol applications. Theoretical modeling approaches and experimental methods will be reviewed.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
A survey on organic electronic devices with focus on the processing-structure-property relationships of functional active materials.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Lectures and readings focus on bridges, railroads, power plants, highways, airports, harbors, automobiles, aircraft, computers, and the microchip. Historical analysis provides a basic for studying urban problems by focusing on scientific, political, ethical, and aesthetic aspects in the evolution of engineering over the past two centuries. The precepts and the papers will focus historically on engineering ideas including the social and political issues raised by these innovations and how they were shaped by society as well as how they helped shape culture.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course examines how environmental factors (acid, rain, ice, salts, and biota) damage sculpture and monuments made of stone and masonry, paintings on wood, and sculptures in bronze. We examine campus buildings that illustrate each type of damage and visit the Cloisters Museum to learn how those medieval buildings are protected. Lectures on structure and properties of materials and mechanisms of attack. Labs include quantifying water movement through stone, damage from freezing and salts, strength of mortars, protective effects of sealants and consolidants, effect of moisture on wood.
