A course emphasizing the use of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer principles in thermal environmental design. Building energy requirements will be computed and thermal comfort criteria will be studied.
This course is an introduction to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and numerical heat transfer for advanced undergraduate students who wish to become intelligent users of modern CFD tools. The emphasis will be on verification and validation of solutions obtained using CFD through comparison to analytical and empirical results.
A detailed investigation of a topic of current significance in mechanical engineering such as: computer-aided manufacturing, special topics in robotics, and current topics in heat transfer. May be repeated under different subtitles to a maximum of nine credits. A particular topic may be offered at most twice under the ME 599 number.

The purpose of this course is to examine methods and systems from the perspectives of modeling, simulation, and control of manufacturing facilities. The emphasis will be primarily on techniques that can be used to model and evaluate performance of systems. Students are encouraged to think critically about available technologies, identify relative strengths and weaknesses, and analyze the technologies toward developing improved solutions to factory control and information management problems.

The need to increase quality, productivity, efficiency and sustainability in manufacturing operations spanning the product, process and systems (manufacturing systems as well as supply chain) domains is essential for companies to be successful. The increased globalization of markets and manufacturing operations, declining natural resources and negative consequences of some manufacturing practices as well as increased legislation in many regions has led to many new challenges that companies must overcome to be successful in competitive markets.
Critical treatment of the laws of thermodynamics, relations among thermodynamic properties; stability of systems; thermodynamic processes; selected special topics.
Comprehensive study of heat convection; derivation of equations of convection of mass, momentum, and energy; boundary layer equations; classical solutions of laminar convection problems; turbulent convection; analogies between momentum and energy.
