- MATSE 400 : Crystal Chemistry
The course provides a basic understanding of crystal structures of various important raw materials and minerals. It will also help the student to understand the relationship between crystal structure/microstructure and physical/chemical properties and appreciate the engineering significance of these ideas as well as how they relate to industrial products: present, past and future.
- MATSE 413: Solid State Materials
The main objective is to provide sufficient background for the understanding of fundamental phenomena in solid state materials. An introduction to quantum mechanics is given. We will further develop a qualitative understanding of how the electronic structure of isolated atoms is changed as they bond to each other to form molecules and solids. We will also work out necessary framework to describe electronic band structure and derive thermal properties of solid state materials.
- ENGR 421: Materials Properties Measurements II
ENGR 421 is intended to introduce students to the measurement of thermal, electrical properties of materials.
- MATSE 430: Materials Characterization
This course will introduce students to characterization techniques for quantifying microstructure, chemistry and atomic structure of solid state materials.
- ENGR 350: Computational Modeling Methods
ENGR 350 intends to introduce students to strategies in mathematical modeling of physical phenomena using ANSYS. The course provides theoretical understanding and hands-on experience of the modeling techniques used in engineering practice and allows students to apply these skills to engineering computational problems. Modeling of engineering processes requires users to have a working knowledge of ANSYS and modeling techniques such as mesh construction and analysis
- EGEE 101: Energy and Environment
This course would introduce the concept of various forms of energy and their influence on our society in terms of energy utilization and environmental impacts
- ESC 551: High Power Energy Storage
It is an introduction to high-power in-vehicle energy storage technologies used in pluggable and grid independent hybrid electric and fuel cell vehicles including advanced battery chemistries, ultracapacitors, and flywheels. The course also provides an overview of hybrid electric vehicle design, control, and simulation to determine the effect of energy storage components on performance and fuel efficiency.
