Course Description
This course provides basic knowledge about numerical methods that are routinely used for simulating fluid flow and heat transfer. The main emphasis is on incompressible flow and convective heat transfer. Furthermore, knowledge on the most common turbulence models and how these affect the solution is provided. The course is aimed at providing capability to perform this kind of simulations. Also, to provide capability in analyzing and assessing the results of such simulations. This knowledge should be sufficient in order to choose a proper solution method and asses the accuracy of the results for a given engineering problem. The course includes methods for the numerical solution of engineering fluid dynamics and heat transfer problems. Handling of convection-diffusion problems is treated. The concept of numerical diffusion is introduced. Algorithms for pressure-velocity coupling are presented (e.g. SIMPLE, SIMPLEC, SIMPLEX, PISO etc.). In the course discretization using finite volume techniques and how these affect accuracy and stability is discussed. Several types of computational meshes and how these are generated and how these affect the solution are discussed. Also included are the most common RANS based turbulence models.

Course Description
This course covers the process of engineering design, manufacturing methods, and the relationship between them. The course trains students in the methodology of all stages of engineering design: from the analysis of the client statement to the manufacturing of the design. It develops the practical, theoretical, and computational engineering skills relevant to the design process. It also develops an appreciation of sustainability in engineering design, and an understanding of how design decisions can affect the environmental and economic costs of the design and product.

Course Description
This course covers the fundamentals of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) and delves into some of the practical implications and effects that drawing notations have on actual production parts. This course covers the following: methods for determining tolerances and manufacturing precision; pros and cons of using GD&T to specify dimensions and tolerances of parts and/or assemblies; general understanding of how to dimension a part and assembly drawing with GD&T; knowledge of how GD&T usage affects part production and assembly. The course is comprised of four lecture days per week consisting of traditional classroom instruction intermixed with faculty-accompanied engineering tours. Students receive a more in-depth practical overview of GD&T and have opportunity to see the effects of tolerance selection in person. Faculty-led discussions and group assignments/projects help to reinforce the topics covered. Tours on this course include the BMW Plant and a tour of Berlin. Students need a laptop computer with current versions of Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, or equivalent software, to complete course assignments. Additionally, students should have taken classes in: Calculus, Physics, Any engineering drawing/CAD course.
