3. ME 402 - Internship in Engineering Design

Spring 2009, Fall 2010

Description:  Creative application of general engineering knowledge in solving open-ended design problems provided by a sponsor typically external to the University.

4. ME 893 - Combustion

Spring 2010

Description:  This course uses combustion flows as representative examples to explain the fundamentals and applications of chemically reactive flows. Specifically, this course will 1) examine the governing physics and equations for such flows, 2) address the numerical solution to these equations, and 3) discuss the relevance in research and industrial applications.

5. ME 203 – Foundations of Fluid and Thermal Systems

Summer I 2010

Description:  Introduction to control volumes, conservation laws of mass, momentum, and energy.  Concepts of work and heat are introduced, including rate forms. Properties of pure substances.
