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.

Control technologies for industrial and process control systems, including sensors, actuators, PLSc, and hydraulic and pneumatic control elements.

determination. Energy conversion in continuous media including magnetohydrodynamics.

Study of analysis techniques for switching mode converters and associated control practices. Boost, buck, buck-boost, flyback, and Cuk topologies in both continuous and discontinuous conduction modes are presented. Numerical solution, state-space averaging, and linearization techniques are applied to predict performance and formulate transfer characteristics.

This advanced course in computational electromagnetics primarily covers moment method and finite element method solutions to scattering problems. Representative topics of the course include surface and volume equivalence principles, scattering by material cylinders, scattering by periodic structures and absorbing boundary conditions models.

Endodontics provide opportunities for further study of or experience in various aspects of endodontics. Topics may include diagnosis, case selection, treatment planning, emergency treatment, intracanal medications, obturation materials, periapical surgery, root amputations, and endodontic-periodontic relationships. Hours variable, ranging from a minimum of 16 hours lecture/discussion to a maximum of 10 weeks clinical experience. May be repeated to a maximum of ten credits.

This course will introduce students to the various elements involved in obtaining a position in their chosen field of engineering.

Theoretical and computational basics of the finite element method. Development of element relationships and calculations, assembly and efficient solution of the finite element equations. Weak formulations are presented for both steady and transient 1D, 2D, 3D problems.
