Energy bands in crystals; heterostructures; quantum wells and low dimensional systems; the two-dimensional electron gas and MODFET; transmission in nanostructures; current topics in nanoscale devices.

An introductory treatment of Fourier series and its application to the solution of boundary value problems in the partial differential equations of physics and engineering. Orthogonal sets of functions, Fourier series and integrals, solution of boundary value problems, theory and application of Bessel functions and Legendre polynomials.

This course introduces students to fundamentals of nontraditional manufacturing processes. Theory and implementation of the nontraditional manufacturing processes, such as laser cutting and welding, electro discharge machining, abrasive waterjet machining, rapid prototyping, etc. will be addressed.

Comprehensive study of heat conduction, derivation of governing equations; discussion of the various boundary conditions; review of classical heat conduction solutions; discussion of current problems, methods of solution and engineering applications of heat conduction.

Continuation of EM 651 with more attention to the fundamental structure of and important historical and contemporary contributions to elastic theory. Extensive use of modern computational methods that were introduced in the first course will provide familiarity with the solution of larger scale, industrially important elasticity problems. Application of the boundary integral equation method (BIE) will be emphasized. Some use also will be made of the finite element method, primarily for comparison with BIE.

With the advice and approval of the Third and Fourth Year Curriculum and Student Progress Committee, the fourth-year student may choose approved electives offered by the various departments in the College of Medicine. The intent is to provide the student an opportunity to develop his fund of knowledge and clinical competence.

The course will be based upon our inpatient General Medical Consulting Service which sees an array of commonplace problems in patients on non-medical services. The emphasis will be on problem solving while functioning as a consultant. Four weeks of clinical service.

Learning organizations are skilled at creating, acquiring, and transferring knowledge, and at modifying their behavior to reflect the new knowledge and insights. In this context, this course will discuss leadership styles, adult learning principles, communication, organizational behaviors, and a structure for learning.

Discrete event simulation and its application to performance analysis of industrial production systems. Topics include concepts for characterizing production systems, approaches to structuring simulation models, instruction in a simulation language, and techniques for comparing alternative system designs and control strategies. Applications to manufacturing, commercial and mining production systems are considered.
