CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
55932	Lecture	LC3	11:00AM -12:20PM	TR	2051 Sidney Lu Mech Engr Bldg	Cai, L	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/21/23-12/06/23 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: NanoMFG for Sustainable Energy Section Info: Meeting the world's growing energy needs in a sustainable fashion is one of the most pressing problems today. This course will introduce the scope of the energy problems, define some of the options for sustainable energy, and look into the basic physics and chemistry of emerging sustainable energy technologies including batteries, fuel cells, solar cells, solar fuels, etc. State-of-the-art nanomanufacturing methods and advanced characterization of functional materials for sustainable energy applications will be discussed. Restriction(s): Restricted to Grainger Engineering. Restricted to Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.

71645	Lecture	NGG	9:00AM -9:50AM	MWF	2045 Sidney Lu Mech Engr Bldg	Glumac, N	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/21/23-12/06/23 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Engineering Spectroscopy Section Info: This course aims to provide the theory and practical experience in making measurements of thermodynamic parameters by using the spectral distribution of light. We will present the theoretical foundations for spectroscopic measurements of temperature, pressure, and concentration, including structure of matter, nature of light, statistical mechanics, and matter/light interactions. After these foundational topics, basic applications of emission spectroscopy, absorption spectroscopy, and fluorescence will be covered. A basic review of practical optics will be conducted, followed by a more detailed coverage of instrumentation for spectroscopic measurements, with a hands-on component. Scattering theory and non-linear optics will be reviewed, followed by a discussion of Rayleigh scattering and Raman scattering. Prerequisites: ME 200, Phys 211, 212, Chem 102/103 Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
