Engineering

Systems do not in general naturally behave in a manner which accords with the user’s wishes. Systems must in general be extended by the addition of a controller in order to force them to behave in an acceptable fashion. The controller may be a human (as in the case of the driver of a car for example), but the controller may also be a human-designed engineering system in its own right. In the latter case the controller is called an automatic controller. This course addresses the need for, the value of and the design of automatic controllers for some of the most common classes of engineering systems. Automatic controllers appear in more or less every engineering environment, from automotive/aerospace to biomedical equipment and including almost everything in between.

This course introduces the hydrologic cycle and relevant atmospheric processes: water and energy balance, radiation, precipitation, snow, infiltration, evaporation, transpiration, groundwater flow, streamflow, and flood processes. In addition, AI applications in hydrologic processes are covered. Topics include The Hydrologic Cycle, Atmospheric Water, Runoff and Streamflow, Groundwater, and Soil Water.

Prerequisite: ELEMENTARY FLUID MECHANICS

This course focuses on the key principles of jet propulsion technology, the basic structure of aircraft engines, and key design methods. It will help students understand the key criteria for selecting engines for current aircraft, and familiarize them with the basic structure, primary functions, and fundamental technical parameters of each aircraft engine component. Students will also learn how to apply this foundational knowledge to complex engineering problems. This course will empower students to select power systems for various aircraft and design the key technical parameters of powerplants for new flight systems.

This course introduces students to the foundations of game creation and provides an overview of different aspects of game development. Students learn C# Programming (industry standard), starting with console application, then GUI games on various platform with graphics, dialog boxes, and user control. The course includes an overview of topics including game architecture, interface design, graphics for games, audio for games, prototyping and play testing. Students implement their creative gaming ideas by using the latest gaming tools. The course requires students to take prerequisites.

This course introduces the fundamental concept of carriers, operating principles of PN diodes and MOSFETs. Topics include IV characteristics in different operating regions and their impact on the performance of logic gate, the foundational concepts of inverters and analyze their performance in terms of power and delay trade-off. The course introduces logic synthesis and the fundamental timing analysis of logic gates. Besides the static CMOS logic, students examine pass logics or transmission gates logics.

This course offers a study of the fundamental and applied knowledge of the laws that determine fluid motion with an emphasis on high-Reynolds-numbers flows and gases and their application to the description of problems of interest in aerospace engineering.

This course is designed for students with no prior experience of thinking in a computational manner. Students examine computational thinking as a problem-solving process with the aid of a computer, i.e. formulating a problem and expressing its solution in such a way that a computer can effectively carry it out. Topics include basic program structure: control constructs and data types, CT concept, limit of computing, computing trends, social-ethical issues and ramifications of computing. By the end of the course, students will be able to derive simple algorithms and code the programs to solve some basic problems. This course is cross listed among several departments at NTU.

This course offers an overview of the air transport industry and the infrastructures needed to ensure aircraft fulfill safe and efficient operations. The course is divided into three parts: Air transportation, air navigation, and airports. 

This course examines the history of aeronautics, the commercial and scientific use of space, the operation of specifically aerospace technologies, and the exploration and exploitation of space.

Students complete an internship with a local organization or company. Each placement includes oversight and regular check-ins with an internship supervisor from the company or organization. The Internship Methodology Seminar accompanies the internship placement and offers a platform for reflection, enhancement of skills, and development of cultural competence. It focuses on practical skill application, cultural understanding, and adaptability within professional environments to provide a bridge between academic learning and real-world experience.
