Course Description
This course deepens and broadens the students' understanding of thermodynamic foundations and describes and analyzes common engineering components and power-generation cycles. The course begins with a review of the 1st Law of Thermodynamics and an introduction to the 2nd Law that emphasizes the distinction between heat and work. These laws are then applied to the analysis of Otto, Diesel, Brayton-Joule, and Rankine cycle heat engines, representative of petrol, diesel, jet engines, and steam-powered electricity generation plants respectively. The course then introduces the combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plant. The concept of exergy is introduced and used to derive 2nd Law efficiency metrics for components (e.g. nozzles, diffuses, and compressors) and cycles. The course concludes with a brief look at the thermodynamics of gas mixtures and of combustion. In addition to the formal lectures, students each complete three laboratory practicals, related to engine operation, compression processes, and refrigeration. These laboratory sessions deepen the students' engagement with the subject, develop their ability to work as a team, improve their engineering communication skills, and enhance their capacity to conduct experiments and to analyze and interpret data.

Course Description
This course introduces fluid mechanics as applied to engineering. After introducing the basic terminology and a classification of fluid and flow, the course presents fluid statics, which cover hydrostatic forces on submerged bodies, surface tension forces, buoyancy, metacentric height, and stability of floating bodies. The course presents numerous examples of engineering applications pertaining to each aspect of fluid statics. In the section on fluid dynamics, the course introduces basic principles of fluid motion. Topics include continuity equation, Bernoulli and energy equations, and free-surface flows including hydraulic jumps, the momentum equation and its engineering application using the control volume approach, flow measurements and common pressure instrumentation, velocity and volumetric measurements, analysis of engineering results, the dimensional analysis and similitude.

Course Description
In this course, students learn the theory of mechanics and electromagnetism for computing engineering systems like MEMS (Micro/nano electro Mechanical Systems), which are used daily in several electronic devices. The emphasis of this course is on a theoretical understanding of problems in continuum mechanics and electromagnetism, as well as their computations. Participants understand and apply the theory of electromagnetism for deformable bodies by using open-source codes in Python (programming language) and simulate physical systems using their own laptop.

Course Description
With dwindling energy resources, environmental impact of fossil fuel utilization and concerns on energy security, sustainability has gained increasing importance. In fact, modern society relies on stable and inexpensive energy supply and renewable energy is a significant component of the new energy mix. The course tackles energy conversion, utilization and storage for renewable technologies such as wind, solar, biomass, fuel cells and hybrid systems. Thermodynamics concepts, including the first law and the description of the various forms of energy, will form the basis for identifying, analyzing and modeling renewable energy systems. The course also touches upon the environmental consequences of energy conversion and how renewable energy systems can be used effectively to mitigate global climate change.
