Course Description
This course discusses the processes that occur in an internal combustion engine and the reason why it is designed as it is. It begins with an overview of the most common types of combustion engines (the spark ignition engine, diesel engine, Wankel, and Stirling engines) and the differences between two-stroke and four-stroke engines. The course then reviews both the parameters used to characterize an engine, such as medium-pressure piston and average speed, and the coupling between the engine characteristics and the requirements that a vehicle imposes on the engine. The course also includes a review of the general burning of an arbitrary fuel. Students learn to determine the air needs for complete combustion and no exhaust analysis. The course covers the ideal thermodynamic cycles with combustion at constant pressure or constant volume, Otto and Diesel engines' combustion processes and emissions, motors' mechanical systems, gas exchange, and overcharging. The course is composed of lectures, a guest lecture by an industry representative, exercises, and two labs, the first of which involves removing and installing a gasoline engine, and the other involves running a diesel engine in a dyno and measuring emissions.

Course Description

The course is designed to prepare students for leadership in a globally interdependent and culturally diverse workforce. Throughout the course, students are challenged to question, think, and respond thoughtfully to the issues they observe and encounter in the internship setting, and the designated city in general. Students have the opportunity to cultivate the leadership skills as defined by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), such as critical thinking, teamwork, and diversity. Assignments focus on building a portfolio that highlights those competencies and their application to workplace skills. The hybrid nature of the course allows students to develop their skills in a self-paced environment with face-to-face meetings and check-ins to frame their intercultural internship experience. Students complete 45 hours of in-person and asynchronous online learning activities and 225-300 hours at their internship placement.

Course Description
Surface and colloid chemistry is a knowledge area with numerous applications within all areas of chemical and biotechnological engineering. For instance almost all foods, numerous drugs, biological systems, bacterial suspensions, many polymer materials, all ceramic materials, multiphase processes and most chemical-technical consumer products are dispersions or by other means colloidal. The course is based on surface-active components. Both synthetic and natural amphiphiles are treated. Different phases (micellar, liquid crystalline and microemlsions) as well as aggregates such as vesicles are studied. A central concept is interparticular interactions in relation to colloidal stability. The role of surface activity in controlling interactions through adsorption and non-adsorption is discussed in relation to technical functionality in systems like emulsions and foams. The role of surface activity for wetting, filtration, dewetting, and sintering is discussed. A generally important aspect is how the material properties of dispersed systems are influenced by colloidal interactions and surface phenomena's. The exercise part of the course treats quantitative aspects of the theory as well as problem solving in colloid chemistry. The labs are aimed to illustrate how different surface and colloidal system might be constructed and work. The projects consist of an analysis of surface and colloidal aspects of manufacturing, formulation or application of a consumer product with relevance to the interest of the student.

Course Description
This course provides an up-to-date introduction to topic information theory. The course emphasizes both the formal development of the theory and the engineering implications for the design of communication systems and other information handling systems. The course includes: Shannon's information measure and its relatives, both for the discrete and continuous case; Three fundamental information theorems: typical sequences, source coding theorem and channel coding theorem; Source coding: optimal coding and construction of Huffman codes, as well as universal source coding such as Ziv-Lempel coding (zip, etc.); Channel coding: principles of error detection and correction on a noisy channel, mainly illustrated by Hamming codes; Gaussian channel: continuous sources and additive white noise over both band limited and frequency selective channels; Derivation of the fundamental Shannon limit; Discrete input Gaussian channel: Maximum achievable rates for PAM and QAM, Coding and Shaping gain, and SNR gap; Rate distortion theory: source coding theorem and the fundamental limit revisited when a certain level of distortion is allowed.
