Rather than apply for the standard track,<br />
students can apply for a special track<br />
in either energy systems or in micro/<br />
nanoscale engineering. The requirements<br />
for a special track are identical<br />
to those of the standard track, with one<br />
exception: a special track student must<br />
take at least 15 of his/her points from a<br />
list determined by a special track adviser<br />
in consultation with a special track<br />
advisory committee. The name of the<br />
special track will be listed on a student’s<br />
transcript. The currently available special<br />
tracks are listed below.<br />
M.S. in Mechanical Engineering with<br />
Concentration in Energy Systems<br />
Advisers: Profs. Vijay Modi and Arvind<br />
Narayanaswamy<br />
The concentration in energy systems<br />
provides the M.S. candidate with a<br />
global understanding of current energy<br />
challenges. Advanced thermofluidic<br />
knowledge is provided to design<br />
and optimize energy systems, with<br />
a strong emphasis on renewable<br />
energies. Courses related to energy and<br />
environmental policy, two strong areas<br />
of <strong>Columbia</strong> as a global university, can<br />
be integrated into the course sequence.<br />
This concentration is a suitable<br />
preparation for careers in energy<br />
production and energy consultation.<br />
Requirements: While satisfying<br />
the general mechanical engineering<br />
requirements, take at least five courses<br />
from:<br />
MECE E4210: Energy infrastructure planning<br />
MECE E4211: Energy: sources and conversion<br />
MECE E4302: Advanced thermodynamics<br />
MECE E4304: Turbomachinery<br />
MECE E4305: Mechanics and thermodynamics<br />
propulsion<br />
MECE E4312: Solar thermal engineering<br />
MECE E4314: Energy dynamics of green buildings<br />
MECE E6100: Advanced mechanics of fluids<br />
MECE E6104: Case studies in computational fluid<br />
dynamics<br />
