  • 12 610: Special Topic

    9.00 Credits
    Carnegie Mellon University

    This course is intended to provide a comprehensive overview of the life cycle of the facility development process and of relevant project management techniques. While primary emphasis is on the construction phase, the techniques and perspective apply to the other phases of the facility development process as well. Students learn not only how to develop construction estimates and schedules, but also, globalization issues, methods to work on multicultural teams, negotiation techniques, and methods to improve international collaboration enhanced by the use of Information Technology. Students work in international teams to collaborate from remote locations via the Internet taking maximum advantage of information technology using commercially available software. Students also report on lessons learned on working with different cultures.

  • 12 623: Molecular Simulation of Materials

    12.00 Credits
    Carnegie Mellon University

    The purpose of this course is to expose engineering students to the theory and implementation of numerical techniques for modeling atomic-level behavior. The main focus is on molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations. Students will write their own simulation computer codes, and learn how to perform calculations in different thermodynamic ensembles. Consideration will be given to heat transfer, mass transfer, fluid mechanics, mechanics, and materials science applications. The course assumes some knowledge of thermodynamics and computer programming. 4 hrs lec. Prerequisite: None
