2017-2018 Graduate Catalog [ARCHIVED CATALOG]

Courses of Instruction


This list includes for each course the catalog number, title, credit hours, class and laboratory hours per week, description and prerequisites.

A secondary listing in parentheses indicates that this course is cross-referenced with another program.

Graduate credit may be earned only for courses numbered 6000 or above. Each 6000-level course carries a 4000-level undergraduate counterpart. Students who receive graduate credit in such courses must do extra work of an appropriate nature as determined by the department and are graded according to graduate standards. Students who receive credit for the 4000-level course may not receive credit later for the same course at the 6000 level.

Courses at the 7000 level are designed primarily for the degrees that emphasize professional practice rather than research.

Automotive Engineering

  
  • AUE 6010 - Vehicle Dynamics

    4 Credits (3 Contact Hours)
    Fundamental concepts in the dynamic behavior of ground vehicles, mainly two- and four-wheeled vehicles, are discussed. The application of dynamic systems modeling and analysis are stressed to bring understanding to ride performance, handling and straight-line running. Practical considerations in vehicle design and its influence on vehicle performance are discussed. Preq: ME 3050. Coreq: AUE 6011 .
  
  • AUE 6011 - Vehicle Dynamics Laboratory

    0 Credits (3 Contact Hours)
    Non-credit laboratory to accompany AUE 6010 . Coreq: AUE 6010 .
  
  • AUE 8160 - Engine Combustion and Emissions

    3 Credits (2 Contact Hours)
    Spark and compression ignition engines are investigated in terms of design, performance and emissions. Includes exergy models. Integrates theory of fuel air cycles with laboratory breakdown and dynamometer testing to correlate prevalent mathematic models with test results. Coreq: AUE 8161 .
  
  • AUE 8161 - Engine Combustion and Emissions Laboratory

    0 Credits (3 Contact Hours)
    Non-credit laboratory to accompany AUE 8160 . Coreq: AUE 8160 .
  
  • AUE 8170 - Alternative Energy Sources

    3 Credits (3 Contact Hours)
    Demand for petroleum alternative propulsion sources has focused attention on hybrid vehicles with fuel cells, electric motors and battery packs and internal combustion engines burning hydrogen and reformulated fuels. Comparison of performance, emissions, fuel efficiency, operational requirements and vehicle configurations is studied.
  
  • AUE 8180 - Engine System Analysis, Design and Experimentation

    3 Credits (2 Contact Hours)
    This course explores internal combustion engine simulation, experimental analysis, and component design with a focus on thermodynamics, heat transfer, combustion and fluid dynamics. A term project integrates simulation software with experimental data analysis to allow students to design, build and test components. Preq: AUE 8160 . Coreq: AUE 8181 .
