184 dynamic programming for optimal control, Kalman filtering, numerical methods for solution. Some applications discussed include minimum energy subway operation (our solution saved 11 percent in tests on the Flushing Line, and the method was adopted by the Transit Authority, saving many millions of dollars per year), minimum time robot optimal control allowing one to run assembly lines faster for increased productivity. MECE E6614y Advanced topics in robotics and mechanism synthesis Lect. 3. 3 pts. Professor Simaan. Prerequisite: APMA E2101, APMA E3101, MECE E4602, or the instructor’s permission. Recommended: MECE E3401. Kinematic modeling methods for serial, parallel, redundant, wire-actuated robots and multifingered hands with discussion of open research problems. Introduction to screw theory and line geometry tools for kinematics. Applications of homotopy continuation methods and symbolic-numerical methods for direct kinematics of parallel robots and synthesis of mechanisms. Course uses textbook materials as well as a collection of recent research papers. EEME E6620x or y Applied signal recognition and classification Lect: 3. 3 pts.

Interpretive research in graduate areas in mechanical engineering and engineering science. MECE E8100y Advanced topics in fluid mechanics Lect: 2. 3 pts. Not given in <strong>2008</strong>–<strong>2009</strong>. Prerequisite: MECE E6100. This course may be taken more than once, since its content has minimal overlap between consecutive years. Selected topics from viscous flow, turbulence, compressible flow, rarefied gas dynamics, computational methods, and dynamical systems theory, non-Newtonian fluids, etc. EEME E8601y Advanced topics in control theory Lect: 3. 3 pts. Not given in <strong>2008</strong>–<strong>2009</strong>. Prerequisites: EEME E6601 and E4601, or the instructor’s permission. This course may be taken more than once, since the content changes from year to year, electing different topics from control theory such as learning and repetitive control, adaptive control, system identification, Kalman filtering, etc. MECE E9000x and E9001y, and s Graduate research and study 1 to 3 pts. Professors Ateshian, Attinger, Hone, Kysar, Liao, Lin, Longman, Modi, Narayanaswamy, Simaan, Stolfi, Wong, and Yao. Theoretical or experimental study or research in graduate areas in mechanical engineering and engineering science. MECE E9500x or y Graduate seminar 0 pts. Instructor to be announced. Pass/fail only. All doctoral students are required to successfully complete four semesters of the mechanical engineering seminar MECE 9500. MECE E9800x and y, and s Doctoral research instruction 3, 6, 9, or 12 pts. Professors Ateshian, Attinger, Hone, Kysar, Liao, Lin, Longman, Modi, Narayanaswamy, Simaan, Stolfi, Wong, and Yao. A candidate for the Eng.Sc.D. degree in mechanical engineering must register for 12 points of doctoral research instruction. Registration in MECE E9800 may not be used to satisfy the minimum residence requirement for the degree. MECE E9900x and y Doctoral dissertation 0 pts. Professors Ateshian, Attinger, Hone, Kysar, Liao, Lin, Longman, Modi, Narayanaswamy, Simaan, Stolfi, Wong, and Yao. A candidate for the doctorate may be required to register for this course every term after his/her course work has been completed and until the dissertation has been accepted. <strong>SEAS</strong> <strong>2008</strong>–<strong>2009</strong>
