Review of classical thermodynamics and conventional energy conversion systems. Introduction to kinetic theory of gases, and statistical thermodynamics. Selected topics in chemical thermodynamics. Mr. McGowan
Engineering aspects of windpower systems including aerodynamic analysis, mechanical design, support structure design, wind field analysis, system concepts and analysis, and economics.
This course will provide students with a basic understanding of the state of the art in Augmented (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies, how these technologies work, and how to leverage these technologies to design extended reality experiences and tools in commercial, industrial, and entertainment settings. This course will focus on understanding and addressing limitations of AR and VR that allow for their effective use, and on principles of Human Computer Interaction and processes for designing AR and VR applications.
Dynamic or sequential decision-making tackles a type of problems where decisions need to change over time to adapt to changing environments, occurring as a consequence of natural environmental dynamics and/or influence of prior decisions. These types of problems are encountered in a variety of fields.
Time domain and frequency domain analysis and synthesis techniques for linear continuous-time feedback control systems. Topics include benefits and costs of feedback, modeling of dynamic systems,steady-state and transient performance, stability, PID control, root locus, frequency response, Nyquist stability cri-terion, and introduction to loop-shaping.
