ME 5995: Nanomaterials for Engineering Applications, 4 cr.
Prerequisites: Graduate standing in science or engineering disciplines.
This course introduces the fundamental
principles needed to understand the behavior of different classes of nanomaterials, processing methods resulting in new structures, and the design and operation of novel structures and devices, which take advantage of nanoscale effects.
Throughout the course we discuss the origin of size effects in controlling the properties of nanomaterials, and their application in Automotive, Aerospace, Environmental and Energy fields. Students will become familiar with interdisciplinary
aspect of nanotechnology, as well as with current nanoscience developments described in the literature.

Prerequisites: Graduate standing in science or engineering disciplines.
This
covers basic and advanced non-destructive evaluation methods used in industry. Treat in-depth the physics and engineering NDE applications of ultrasonics, vibration, acoustic emission and thermal wave sciences. Also methodologies of penetrant
and eddy current diagnostics. Illustrate NDE concepts through laboratory experiments.
ME 7260: Heat and Mass Transfer, 4 cr.
Restriction(s): Enrollment is limited to Graduate level students; enrollment limited to students in the College of Engineering
(4 credits)
Introduce transport phenomena and rate equations. Formulate heat and mass transfer problems using lumped, differential and integral formulations. Solve these problems using the method of separation of variables,
partial solutions, variation of parameters, superposition, Laplace transformation and Duhamel Integral for problems with time-dependent boundary conditions. Apply these concepts to various thermal and combustion systems.
