Courses

ME3101 Materials Science and Engineering

• A study of metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites as related to material selection for design and manufacturing. Areas include atomic structure and bonding, crystal structure and defects, mechanical properties and failure, diffusion, dislocation and strengthening, alloying, phase diagrams and transformations/heat treatment, polymers, ceramics and glasses, and composites.

ME3440 Heat Transfer

•Fundamentals and applications of heat transfer including conduction, convection and radiation. Steady state and transient conduction in one and multi dimensions. Forced and free convection with boundary layer theory. Radiation properties and radiative heat transfer among black and non-black bodies. Calculation of heat transfer rates, heating/cooling times and design of heat exchangers.

ME6260 Advanced Engineering Heat Transfer

•Provides an advanced knowledge of important heat transfer mechanisms.

ME6710 Nanoscale Modeling

•In this course, students will learn how to model novel nanomaterials using atomistic simulation tools such as molecular dynamics simulations.
