A research, design, or development project. Written preparation and oral defense of project proposal giving objectives, literature survey, and proposed plan. Written preparation and oral defense of final report giving results and conclusions. May be repeated for credit. Credit, 1-10.

Introduction to the theory of stochastic processes with emphasis on Markov chains, Poisson processes, markovian queues and networks, and computational techniques in Jackson networks. Applications include stochastic models of production systems, reliability and maintenance, and inventory control. Prerequisites: M&I-Eng 271, 520, or equivalent.

Students will become experts in offshore wind energy systems, including the technical aspects and the social, environmental, and economic issues.

Quantitative approach to modeling and analysis in inventory systems, aggregate planning, flexible manufacturing and flexible assembly, scheduling, sequencing and forecasting. Emphasis on computer-aided production planning techniques. Prerequisites: M&I-Eng 379, 477, and 520.

Optimization in design. Methods of optimization; numerical and variational, linear and nonlinear. Advantages, disadvantages, restrictions, and use of various methods.

The underlying mathematical theory behind the finite element method and its application to the solution of problems from solid mechanics. Includes a term project involving the application of the finite element method to a realistic and sufficiently complex engineering problem selected by the student and approved by the instructor; requires the use of a commercial finite element code. Strong background in linear algebra and calculus recommended. Mr. Grosse

This course will cover use of computational fluid dynamics codes, code structure, and mathematical background. Advanced topics, such as turbulence modeling and compressibility, will also be discussed. Prerequisite: M&I-ENG 603 Numerical Methods (or equivalent).
