Engineering

This course provides a method for solving physical problems that are described by partial differential equations. The course project gives students an experience and theoretical understanding in solving comprehensive physical problems using the finite element method.  The course content includes: strong and weak formulation of differential equations; approximating functions; Galerkin’s method; finite element formulation of heat conduction; finite element formulation of deformable bodies; finite element formulation of bending; and isoparametric elements and numerical integration.

The course covers the ethics of engineers under different situations and fields. Topics include an introduction to engineering and ethics, business ethics, information ethics, journalistic ethics, architectural ethics, ethics in engineering and construction, environmental ethics, energy sustainability, and planned obsolescence.

This course combines Engineering and peace for the restoration, construction, and preservation of peace in the community. It explores solutions through collaboration, integrating training and transdisciplinary skills, applying technology simultaneously with solutions that support people, and offering creative solutions that can radically transform and improve the human and the natural and achieve well-being. 

This course examines the basic principles of engineering mathematics, calculation, and their practical applications in engineering. The course covers linear algebra (matrix, vector, determinant, linear equation system, matrix eigenvalue problem), vector calculus, vector divergence and curl, gradient and direction derivative function of scalar field, Fourier series analysis and integration, Conversion and other units.

This course discusses the key aspects and concepts of thermal engineering and fluid mechanics and the impact of engineering solutions in a societal and environmental context. Topics include: water use (industrial, commercial, residential); climate change, population growth, and energy demand; water for energy and energy for water; water use in fossil fuel plants; water use in renewable-based plants; relationships among water use, fuel type, efficiency, technology, and environmental impacts; water scarcity, stress on water systems, and energy generation; strategies to reduce water use; processes for desalination and water reuse.

Prerequisites: Calculus I and II, Writing and Communication Skills, Thermal Engineering, Environmental Technology, Heat Power Plants, Engineering Fluid Mechanics

Students discuss key aspects of the ethical debates around robotics and artificial intelligence, focusing on the healthcare and medical sectors. The seminar includes an introduction to interdisciplinary methods of responsible technology design. Students work in interdisciplinary teams on proposals for responsible design, and they learn appropriate methods on the topics of scenario analysis, value assessment, and critical design thinking.
