Renal & Urinary Systems

As part of the second-year organ system-based curriculum, this team- taught course covers the normal physiology and histology of the kidney and urinary system, the pathophysiology of renal and urinary diseases and disorders, and the medical and pharmacologic approaches to diagnosis and treatment.

Mechanics Of Composite Materials

A study of the structural advantages of composite materials over conventional materials, considering high strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios. Fiber reinforced, laminated and particulate materials are analyzed. Response of composite structures to static and dynamic loads, thermal and environmental effects, and failure criteria are studied.

Manufacturing Systems

This course introduces students to fundamentals of design, planning and control of manufacturing systems aided by computers. Concepts of control hardware, NC programming languages, software aspects related to NC manufacturing, programmable controllers, performance modeling of automated manufacturing systems, group technology and flexible manufacturing systems, etc. will be adressed.

Mechanical Vibrations

The analysis of vibrational motion of structural and mechanical systems. Single-degree-of-freedom systems; free vibrations; nonperiodic excitation; harmonic excitation. Modal analysis of multiple-degree-of- freedom systems. Vibration of continuous bodies, including strings and bars (axial, torsional and flexural modes). Energy methods.

Gas Dynamics

Consideration of the mass, energy and force balances applied to compressible fluids. Isentropic flow, diabatic flow, flow with friction, wave phenomena and one-dimensional gas dynamics. Applications to duct flows and to jet and rocket propulsion engines.

Fluid Dynamics I

Stress at a point (introduced as a tensor of rank two). Equation of conservation of mass, rate of strain tensor, derivation of Navier-Stokes equation, source-sink flows, motion due to a doublet, vortex flow, two- and three-dimensional irrotational flow due to a moving cylinder with circulation, two-dimensional airfoils.
