Stress-strain relations, strength, deformation mechanisms, fracture, creep, and cyclic fatigue. Experimental techniques, analysis and interpretation of experimental data. Finite element modeling of common experiments including tensile, compression, bending, cyclic fatigue, verification and validation. Engineering writing.

Practical design of experimentation, simulation, data acquisition, and statistical analysis of power production and energy transfer systems.

Systematic but flexible approach to the modeling and analysis of dynamic systems. Engineering models of mechanical, electrical, fluid, and thermal systems and combined systems are developed from fundamental physical principles. Construct, use, and convert between transfer function and mathematical models. Analytical and numerical solution methods are studied, along with internal and input/output notions of stability, Laplace transformation, and transfer functions of dynamic systems. Introduction to modal analysis of mechanical vibrations. Introduction to PID control of machines and processes.

Physics and chemistry of basic combustion phenomena.  Classification of flames (premixed, non-premixed flames).  Factors influencing burning speed and geometry.  Flame propagation.  Flammability.  Chemical equilibrium. Reaction mechanisms, Chain reactions, Adiabatic flame temperature. Reactor systems. Contemporary issues.

Examines the role of technology and information systems in supporting organizational strategies, goals, objectives, operations, business units and processes, and individual stakeholders. Database/relational concepts, decision support systems/spreadsheets, and fundamentals of web infrastructure design and deployment are discussed and applied.
