Graduate Catalog |Graduate Courses in Mechanical EngineeringMEEG 501 ADVANCED MECHANICAL ENGINEERING ANALYSISAn advanced, unified approach to the solution of mechanical engineering problems, with emphasis on theformulation and solution of equilibrium, eigen value and eigen functions, propagation problems, and solutions ofsystems of differential equations. Review and extension of undergraduate material in applied mathematics withemphasis on problems in heat transfer, vibrations, fluid flow and stress analysis which may be formulated andsolved by classical procedures.Pre-requisite Graduate standingCo-requisite NoneRestrictions None(3-0-3)MEEG 503 APPLIED NUMERICAL METHODSIntroduction to advanced methods for computing numerical data and solving mathematical and engineeringproblems including: Solving nonlinear equations, Sets of equations, Interpolation and curve fitting, Numericaldifferentiation and integration and Numerical solution of ordinary and partial differential and equations. The focusis placed on engineering applications.Pre-requisite Graduate standingCo-requisite NoneRestrictions None(3-0-3)MEEG 504 CONTINUUM MECHANICSThis course is an introduction to the fundamentals needed to model engineering systems as continuous bodies andincludes Cartesian tensor analysis, the concept of state of stress, kinematics of deformation, constitutive equations forelastic and fluid media. It provides a uniform and holistic treatment of the conservation field equations and theirsolutions for the cases of elastic, plastic and fluid media.Pre-requisiteCo-requisiteRestrictions(3-0-3)MEEG344, MEEG354 or equivalent, or permission of the instructor.NoneNoneMEEG 506 PROJECT MANAGEMENTThe fundamentals of project management including: overview and concepts of project management (principles, bodyof knowledge, strategies); planning successful projects (defining, specifying, delivery options, scheduling, budgeting);implementing (organizing the team, work assignments, team building, effective leadership); executing (performancemeasurement, maintaining the schedule, adjustments/mid-course corrections, record keeping, status reporting,communications, managing conflict, time management); and closeout (performance measurement, maintaining theschedule, adjustments/mid-course corrections, record keeping, status reporting, communications, managing conflict,time management).Pre-requisite Graduate standingCo-requisite NoneRestrictions None(3-0-3)MEEG 508 ADVANCED ENGINEERING ANALYSISThe course will benefit students who undertake graduate studies after some time away from school, as well as topracticing engineers and scientists in the field. The course will be comprised of the following three advancedengineering analysis modules: Engineering Mathematics (16 hours): Linear algebra, differential equations, partial differential equations,computational methods in engineering mathematics. Applied Mechanics (9 hours): Strength of materials, materials science. Thermofluids (26 hours): Classical and applied thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, multiphase heat transfer,transport phenomena.Pre-requisite Graduate standingCo-requisite NoneRestrictions None(3-0-3)Page 81
