ME 498 class schedule data for fall 2015
CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
64956	Lecture	CM1	2:00PM -3:20PM	TR	106B3 Engineering Hall	Davis, N	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/24/15-12/09/15 Credit: 1 hours Section Title: Tools of Computational Mechani Section Info: This course will provide an opportunity for students to learn the basic and intermediate functionality of three widely used commercial mechanics packages. Two structural mechanics packages, Abaqus and ANSYS, and one computational fluid dynamics package, Fluent, will be covered. Applied lectures will introduce modeling methods and software capabilities as well as feature the hands-on demonstration of fundamental principles of heat transfer and fluid flow techniques. The course may be taken for one, two, or three credit hours (as a coherent three-credit whole or by combination of credit hours for each software package). Prerequisites: 300-level courses in fluid flow, heat transfer, and continuum mechanics in ME, NPRE, AE, and CEE.

58848	Lecture-Discussion	EEG	11:00AM -11:50AM	MWF	203 Transportation Building	Ertekin, E	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/24/15-12/09/15 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Fund of Modern Photovoltaics Section Info: In this course, students will develop a fundamental understanding of how solar cells convert light to electricity, how solar cells are made, how solar cell performance is evaluated, and the photovoltaic technologies that are currently on the market and/or under development. Using thermodynamics, materials physics, and engineering analysis we will learn how to assess and critique the potentials and drawbacks of modern photovoltaic technologies, including single- and multi- crystalline silicon, tandem cells, CdTe, CIGS, PVT, bulk hetero junctions (organic), Graetzel cells, nanostructure?based, and third generation PV. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.

61221	Lecture-Discussion	KCT	1:00PM -2:50PM	MW	119 Materials Science & Eng Bld	Toussaint, K	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/24/15-12/09/15 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Optics:Theory and Application Section Info: This course is intended to provide a practical understanding to optics/light for engineering and science students who are non-specialists. Students will be introduced to basic concepts in electromagnetic fields and waves as they pertain to measurement science and imaging. An emphasis will be placed on current phenomena and echnologies. Advanced background in electromagnetics is not required. This is a great intro course to get some exposure to optics!!
