"PHYC 30100 Stellar Astrophysics & Astronomical Techniques at UCD; Stars and stellar systems including the Sun are the main topic of this module beginning with the famous classification of stars on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. The power output from the Sun and stars is derived from nuclear fusion and this process will be used to explain the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram and the origin of the elements in the periodic table beyond Helium. The end points of stellar evolution will be covered including white dwarfs, supernova explosions, neutron stars, pulsars, small mass black holes and gamma ray bursts. Stellar clusters and binary systems will be described including the formation of stars in giant molecular clouds.The design of telescopes and methods used in astronomy to detect electromagnetic radiation from radio waves to gamma rays will be included here. On completion of this module students should be able to: (1) Describe the techniques and results of observations of stars. (2) Apply the laws of physics to understand the properties and evolution of stars. (3) Describe the compact objects that form at the end of stellar evolution including neutron stars and black holes; (4) Design telescopes and describe photon detection techniques over the full electromagnetic spectrum. Hrs/SemesterContinuous Assessment: Continuous Assessment 40 Varies over the Semester Examination: Written exam at end of semester 60 End of Semester Exam (2 hour)"

"MAPH 30160 Mathematics for Engineers VI at UCD; This course is designed to familiarise engineering students with ordinary and partial differential equations. Although general techniques applicable to arbitrary differential equations will be taught, the emphasis will be on solving the types of differential equatons which appear in an engineering context;examples include electrical circuits, traffic flow problems, the wave/string equation, the heat equation, and Laplace's/Poisson's equation. These techniques include critical point classification and phase portraits, the method of characteristics, separation of variables, Fourier series/transforms and classification of 2nd-order linear partial differential equations."

"CHEN 30040 Bioprocess Engineering;This module will introduce students to the basic principles and techniques involved in bioprocess engineering. It will focus on the use of mammalian cell culture technology for the production of biopharmaceutical products. Students will obtain a good grounding in the principles of bioreactor selection, design, scale-up and optimisation. Students will also gain the ability to apply principles of mass transfer, fluid flow and heat transfer to bioreactor design and operation."

This three-credit course provides a comprehensive treatment of the role of energy in society and may be taken concurrently by engineering and non-engineering students. It proceeds along two parallel tracks, one dealing with the scientific/technical foundations of energy utilization and the other with its economic, political, environmental, and ethical implications. Scientific/technical issues will be treated at a level that is appropriate for non-engineers and at the same time beneficial to both engineers and non-engineers. The required background in mathematics is largely confined to high school algebra, with occasional use of elementary concepts from differential and integral calculus.

This course seeks to develop a solid foundation for reasoning about the difficult ethical, professional, and social controversies that arise in the engineering field. Emphasis is placed on identifying the appropriate legal and professional context and applying sound critical thinking skills to a problem. Topics covered include relevant professional codes of ethics, encyption/privacy/surveillance, freedom of speech, "cracking" of computer systems, development of safety-critical software, whistle blowing, and intellectual property. This course relies heavily on case studies of real incidents, both historical and current.
