This course will offer a survey of several topics within thermofluid mechanics during the course of the semester. The instructors will offer in-depth analysis on subjects such as turbulence, multi-phase flow, non-Newtonian flow, wave dynamics, and advanced energy conversion. The subject matter will be investigated at a high level; consequently, the class is open to doctoral students only.

The notion of electric power and its role in today?s society; A brief history of electricity from the time of Edison and Tesla, A brief review of types of technology for electricity generation and how they have evolved, Mapping of technology to supply curve, notion of a load duration curve.

Integrated treatment of elements of engineering economy, economics, accounting, and finance and operations research to provide a unified background for economic decision making. Prerequisite: background in economics, engineering, elementary probability theory, and undergraduate economics.

Covers fundamental topics in advanced manufacturing processes. Includes polymer extrusion, thermoforming, polymer-on-polymer stamping, injection molding, 3D printing, chemical vapor deposition, sputter coating and deposition, micro and nanomanufacturing. Emphasizes on fundamental principles of polymer manufacturing processes, selection of materials relative to product design and manufacturing processes, and design for manufacturability. Explores recent advances in polymer manufacturing from macro to nano scale.

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.
