OVERVIEW OF COURSES

SEMICONDUCTOR ELECTROCHEMISTRY

Alternate Spring Semesters

A new interdisciplinary course on the fundamentals of the semiconductor electrochemistry aimed at bridging classical electrochemistry and solid state physics. The course lays the foundation for understanding many technologically important advances in photoelectrochemical or solar cells, Li ion battery, LEDs and sensors.

THERMAL AND FLUID ENGINEERING

Spring Semester Annually

Application of control volume balances of mass, momentum, energy and entropy in systems of practical importance to all engineers. Identification of control volumes, properties of pure materials, mass and energy conservation for closed and open systems, second law of thermodynamics, Bernoulli equation, fluid statics, forces and heat transfer in external and internal flows, conduction and radiative heat transfer.

CHEMICAL AND PHASE EQUILIBRIA

Fall Semester Annually

Classical solution thermodynamics, equations of state, and topics in chemical reaction and phase equilibria. Emphasis is on the rigorous formulation of equilibrium problems, and on the measurement, reduction, correlation, and interpretation of experimental data.
