Overview of law and legal systems; attention to legal aspects of management problems.

In this course, we will read and discuss papers on a range of topics applicable to offshore wind energy.

Theory and execution of selected mechanical engineering measurements. Lectures and 1 three-hour lab meeting.

Introduction to general manufacturing methods for Micro Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) with emphasis on concepts, physics, and instruments of various micro/nano-fabrication techniques that have been widely used in industry and academia. Topics include: 1. MEMS fabrication: lithography technologies, physical and chemical deposition methods, and physical and chemical etching methods, process integration, etc. 2. MEMS physics: Scaling laws, material properties, forces, microfluidics, interfacial phenomenon, etc.; 3.

The goal of this seminar is to introduce the graduate students to different cutting edge research projects that are ongoing in the Department and at other Institutions and to promote interdisciplinary research collaboration by encouraging the students to attend the Departmental Seminars and PhD/MS defenses.
