| ME462 | Energy, Environment and Society | ||
|
A survey of energy use and conversion. environmental and societal
consequences of energy use and conversion in history, today and
outlook for the future. Can be used as an alternative to American
studies 182.
Prerequisite: None - although ME students may need to see Heather Williams to override senior standing requirement. |
|||
| ME400/500 | Numerical methods / techniques in mechanical engineering | ||
|
Methods for solving equations encountered in engineering problems,
using a computer. Topics covered are nonlinear
equations, sets of equations (direct and iterative methods),
eigenvalue problems, numerical integration and differentiation,
ordinary and partial differential equations. Model engineering problems
will be used to illustrate the application of the
numerical techniques.
Prerequisite: one semester of 400 or 500 level coursework in solid or fluid mechanics (ME500 only) |
|||
| ME404/504 | Computational Mechanics | ||
|
Introduction to the numerical solution of differential equations
by the Finite Element Method. Mathematical fundamentals, one-
and two-dimensional applications, accuracy considerations.
Prerequisites: senior standing or Math 312 (404) or graduate course in heat conduction, fluid mechanics or solid mechanics (504) |
|||
| ME530 | Theoretical fluid mechanics | ||
|
Mathematical fundamentals for advanced studies in fluids mechanics,
including the study of classical problems and established
approximations. Survey of modern concepts and methods
for numerical simulation and measurement.
Prerequisite: ME317 |
|||
| ME461/561 | Sustainable Energy | ||
|
A historical perspective on the use of energy, and a discussion
of the meaning of sustainability.
Survey of sources of energy, from fossil to nuclear to solar,
accompanied by a discussion of their environmental, social and
economic impact. Energy consumption in various aspects
of society - industry, residential, commercial.
Prerequisite: ME majors, senior standing |
