Location Pending	Maduzia, J	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/25/25-12/10/25 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: MicroNano Fabrication Capstone Section Info: This course is a hands-on micro-nano fabrication course. The student will be assigned a process topic including but not limited to spinning, exposure, PVD, RIE or ICP DRIE etching. Through in-lab training, the student will fabricate patterned test samples with micron scale resolution, then run a parameter study on the process. The student will then characterize the samples (SEM, profilometery, etc), analyze the results, and present the results for review. A report of the work accomplished, process used, and results will be provided for review. Students enrolled in this course will have a unique opportunity to fabricate and characterize micro-nano samples using modern techniques and equipment. Pre-requisites: Previously taken or concurrently enrolled in ME487 OR ME 586 OR ME 588 OR ECE444. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign. Restricted to MENG:Mechanical Enginerng-UIUC.
46893	Lecture-Discussion	TL4	10:00AM -11:20AM	MW	2055 Sidney Lu Mech Engr Bldg	Lee, T	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/25/25-12/10/25 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Hypersonic Propulsn & Diagnost Section Info: Prerequisites: Fundamental Math and Physics. Laser Diagnostics for Propulsion Research will provide students with a practical understanding of advanced laser and optical diagnostics used to study complex energy conversion phenomena in high speed propulsion systems. The students will be exposed to basic spectroscopy principles as well as developments in the latest optical measurement techniques that are used to study (1) combustion phenomena in supersonic flows, (2) chemical kinetics of fuel oxidation, and (3) gas turbine combustors. Special focus will be placed on application of both single point and 2-D imaging diagnostics for study of hypersonic aircraft engines and development of next-generation alternative fuels. Students will be expected to design a novel laser diagnostics strategy as the final project for the course Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
