3.00 Credits
A study of thermodynamics and applied physical chemistry, using generalized methods to solve chemical engineering problems.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to present more advanced topics than covered in the first dynamics course, notably 3-D rigid body dynamics, Lagrangian dynamics, and vibrations. It also attempts to consolidate and integrate students' knowledge of linear analysis, including rotation matrices and matrix diagonalization (principle axes), to formulate the appropriate equations of motion in each topic. A brief introduction to the techniques of non-linear analysis, including perturbation analysis, and phase diagrams and Poincare sections.

3.00 Credits
This unit introduces the fundamentals of engineering alloys, fabrication, basic industrial metalworking processes and metrology. Topics include (1) engineering metallic materials, i.e. carbon and alloy steels, cast irons and nonferrous alloys; industrial fabrication of these materials, including welding, heat treatment, quality control and non-destructive testing; (2) basic metalworking processes (such as rolling, forging, presswork, extrusion and metal cutting); (3) theory of plasticity in metal forming including physical mechanisms of plastic deformation and constitutive modelling; homogeneous deformation, allowance for frictional constraint; (4) slip-line field theory, Hencky stress equations, Geringer velocity equations, velocity discontinuities; and (5) metal cutting theories and fundamentals of metrology, (surface topography characterisation, surface roughness, surface roundness).
-
3.00 Credits
A brief review of thermodynamics and an introduction to fluid mechanics with the specific goal of developing the theory of equilibrium combustion and the fluid mechanics of Nozzles. Other topics associated with chemical rocket systems. Final project that will include a complete analysis of a particular existing chemical rocket engine.

3.00 Credits
This course will be presented in two parts. The first part will address a variety of technical aspects related to risk and failure in engineering. The second part will build upon these topics and focus on a number of ethical and legal aspects related to these issues. The first half of the course will be represented by Robert Nelson, and the second by Stephen Batill. Course grade will be assigned based on performance in both parts. Each of the two sections of the course will contribute 50 percent to the final course grade. The second part of the course grade will be based on student group discussions (20 percent) and final exam covering part II only (30 percent).

3.00 Credits
This course addresses economics of engineering - the analysis of investments; value of money over time; measures of the value of an investment; analysis of investments in an inflationary atmosphere; evaluation of investment under risk and uncertainty; financial reasoning; capital cost; and investment alternatives.
-
3.00 Credits
The course is for students who are interested in the molecular underpinnings of continuum thermodynamics. Such understanding is essential in understanding properties of classical materials and in the design of new materials used in a variety of energy applications. The course will cover the following topics: the first law, heat capacity, enthalpy and thermochemistry, the second and third laws, the free energy, phase transitions, chemical equilibrium, the statistical definition of entropy, connecting microscopic and macroscopic properties, the partition function, ideal gases, perfect crystals, and statistical mechanics and equilibrium.

3.00 Credits
Directed readings in Turbomachinery.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will introduce the student into the design and implementation of building HVAC systems, define the concept of Green Building Design, and Sustainability in HVAC design.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will be focused on directed readings in the general area of Reliability Engineering, with applications to relevant engineering systems, mutually agreed upon by the student and instructor. The student and instructor desire that a final paper be drafted, suitable for publication, though non-publication will not impact the student's grade in the course. The course would fulfill 3 hours course credit as a technical elective.
