Courses

Heat, mass transfer and/or fluid flow processes play crucial roles in many important manufacturing and materials processing technologies. This course is to introduce these processes to students for several important manufacturing and materials processing technologies. This course will cover related process mechanisms, theories, governing equations, and other knowledge for analysis and modeling. Students will attend lectures or view lecture videos, do homework and complete two projects.

Industrial Internet of Things Implementation for Smart Manufacturing.

Introduction to Optimization

Optimization technology provides an extremely powerful tool for data-based decision making under complex constraints. This course will teach engineers how to use widely available software tools (such as Excel) to make sophisticated decisions in various settings. The topics in the course will be covered using real-world examples and reinforced through homework problems. The emphasis will be on ‘learning by doing’. The focus will be on teaching students the skills to solve real-world problems, and not on the theory of optimization.
