Engineering

The course gives an overview of the fundamentals of medical and tissue optics as well as in-depth knowledge of a specific field selected by the students themselves. 

The course introduces Mechatronics as a fundamental concept for modelling and designing machine systems, and to encourage electrical systems to be modeled in a manner compatible with mechanical systems using system concepts; to develop an ability to design, and select components for simple electromechanical systems; and to develop mastery of modelling concepts which have direct equivalents in mechanical systems theory, e.g. equivalent characteristics, operating diagrams, complex impedance.

This course will cover electrochemical/material engineering and recent energy applications such as batteries, fuel cells, electrodepositions, and corrosions. The course builds on electrochemistry and its application to energy devices. Emphasis is placed on the fundamental concepts related to electrochemistry, understanding electrochemical cells, corrosion and prevention, and various energy storage/conversion devices.

This course covers fundamental and applied knowledge of the laws that determine fluid motion and their application to problems of interest in engineering including conservation laws for mass, momentum and energy (integral and differential form), dimensional analysis, and simplifications of general equations.

Pre-requisites: Calculus I & II, Linear Algebra, Physics I & II

The topics covered on this course include dimensional analysis, the mass-conservation and momentum-balance principles applied to a fluid particle, the differential form of the governing equations (Navier-Stokes), compressible flows (speed of sound, Mach cone, isentropic-flow relations and converging-diverging nozzles), as well as incompressible flows with exact (Couette-Poiseuille flows) and approximate (boundary layers, Blasius solution, lubrication) solutions, and an introduction to turbulence.
