Dynamical effects in mechanical design
This course introduces the basis for modeling the effects of kinematics and dynamics of mechanical systems in design. The students will be able to explain and model dynamic phenomena.
Applied mechanical design
Students will be exposed to hands-on design problems throughout the term. They will acquire methodologies to (1) address open ended engineering problems, (2) cultivate creativity, (3) support decision making and (4) develop problem solving abilities.
Heat pump systems
This course aims to study heat pumping cycles and technologies, and equipment, such as compressors (positive displacement and dynamic), heat exchangers, and expansion valves.
