Course Descriptions
104. Thermodynamics I: Basic concepts and principles of thermodynamics with emphasis on simple compressible substances. First and second law development, energy equations, reversibility, entropy and efficiency. Properties of pure substances and thermodynamic cycles. Corequisites: MATH 23 and PHY 11. ES3, ED0
231. Fluid Mechanics: Kinematics of fluid flow and similarity concepts. Equations of incompressible fluid flow with inviscid and viscous applications. Turbulence. One-dimensional compressible flow, shock waves. Boundary layers, separation, wakes and drag. Prerequisite: MATH 205 . ES 3, ED 0
350. Special Topics: A study of some field of engineering mechanics not covered elsewhere. Prerequisite: consent of the department chair.
461. IPD: Design: Industry sponsored Integrated Product Development Project (IPD) projects. The student works with an industry sponsor to do a technical and economic feasibility study of new product development. Selection and content of the project is determined by the faculty project advisor in consultation with the industry sponsor. Deliverables include progress and final reports, oral presentations and posters. Prerequisites: Consent of the department chair and faculty project advisor.
462. IPD: Manufacturing: Industry sponsored Integrated Product Development Project (IPD) projects. The student works with an industry sponsor to create detailed design specifications, fabricate and test a prototype new product and plan for production. Selection and content of the project is determined by the faculty project advisor in consultation with the industry sponsor. Deliverables include progress and final reports, oral presentations, posters and a prototype. Prerequisite: Consent of the department chair and faculty project advisor.
